Since this story on barriers to the ballot box for Native Americans, reported from the Standing Rock reservation, was published last week, a lot has happened. Some updates below: apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
Four ND tribes, including @StandingRockST, say they will issue tribal documents that satisfy new ND voter ID requirements at the polls on Election Day.
And the new voter ID requirements came up in tonight’s ND Senate debate.
In addition, @StandingRockST is offering free tribal IDs to members 17 and older, for free, from now until Election Day.
The tribe has assembled a flow chart to help voters figure out what they need.
A new resource page @lakotalaw with information about contact phone numbers and free tribal IDs for Native American voters in ND. lakotalaw.org/resources/vote

And here's the press release from @StandingRockST, together with @lakotalaw and @4directionsvote, on voter resources.

Am told 3 people trying to vote at the courthouse in Fort Yates on Standing Rock were told no because their ID had an address saying “Avenue” instead of “Street.” @StandingRockST officials issued new IDs. #NDNativeVote Background on tribal efforts here: publicintegrity.org/2018/10/30/223…
And for those watching the weather, I hear there’s snow on the Turtle Mountain reservation this morning.

1/The decision in the North Dakota voter identification case actually has a long legal backstory that's worth unpacking, because I am seeing a lot of questions on Twitter in the wake of today's decision (which we covered here) publicintegrity.org/2018/11/01/224…
2/I wrote a story earlier this month that includes a lot of background, and links to earlier court documents for those interested. You can find it here. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
3/North Dakota, the only state that doesn't require voter registration, was long an easy state in which to vote. If a voter didn't have ID with all the required info, a poll worker who knew them could vouch for them or the voter could sign an affidavit. apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…

“Why is it getting harder and harder for Native Americans to vote?" apps.publicintegrity.org/abandoned-in-a…
When I began reporting this story on why voter turnout is low on the Standing Rock reservation, I didn't know the Supreme Court would decide the week of publication to allow a new voter identification law to go into force in North Dakota for the upcoming election.
The new requirements have the potential to affect the ability of people there, who already face obstacles on the way to the polls.

I want to take this opportunity to share the voter ID requirements that will be in force. This is from the ND secretary of state

Last week, the Mueller team filed a court document effectively threatening prison time if Flynn’s defense team continued alerting the judge to the pattern of misconduct perpetrated by the rogue’s gallery led by former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe. thefederalist.com/2018/12/19/evi…
“Among the many acts of misconduct committed to get Flynn, we’re now finding out that the Mueller team quietly returned the Strzok & Page phones back to the FBI to be deleted & re-issued when they knew messages on those phones undercut the credibility of their lead investigator.”
On January 21, Sen. Ron Johnson made public the revelation that Strzok-Lisa Page text messages spanning December 14, 2016 to May 17, 2017 were missing from the collection of recovered text messages. politico.com/story/2018/01/…

Instead of Black Friday shopping, how about helping this teacher in a low-income SF school that just got its budget cut by $170K and lost its learning specialist get some basic classroom supplies? She asking for pencils and gluesticks ffs: donorschoose.org/project/our-sc…
You can also pick another school to give to, sort by region, grade, type of request...lot of low-income schools in cold areas just trying to get their kids coats. @DonorsChoose donorschoose.org
You guys, we're about half way there. If you can spare even $10, that buys a lot of pencils. donorschoose.org/project/our-sc…

Hello, darling #Exvangelical fam. What a fucking week, huh? I feel like I say that every week but let's be real, every week it is true. This crazed dystopia we are living in does not seem to let up.
So much love to the Jewish community this week in the midst of so much grief.
I will include my usual warning - if you don't feel up to this, that is fine. No one is requiring you to sit through deconstruction of a narcissistic asshole, you are loved and valued and your safety and well being is the most important thing.
If you DO feel like talking about Dobson and FotF today, this is the place for it. I'm not even sure I do, but we're gonna give it a shot, see how it goes.
Here's the link to the moment with all the threads, in case you need to catch up.

Since the 2010 election, 24 states overwhelmingly controlled by Republicans have put in place new voting restrictions, such as tougher voter ID laws, cutbacks to early voting and barriers to registration, notes journalist @AriBerman nyti.ms/2OagqmE
This month, the Supreme Court upheld a law in North Dakota that could block 70,000 residents who don’t have a qualifying ID from the polls, including 5,000 Native American voters. nyti.ms/2OagqmE
Could efforts to block voters swing elections? Certainly. nyti.ms/2OagqmE

1/ Long Reads Sunday #15. Queue the “Bitcoin-as-stablecoin” jokes. As BTC hovers at ~$6600, this week was most definitely not about price action. Instead, the story is a bubbling undercurrent of institutional activity setting the stage for what comes next.
2/ On Friday, news broke that Yale’s endowment, led by David Swensen, inventor of the swap (hi Bitmex), had invested in Paradigm, a $400m crypto fund led by @matthuang, @FEhrsam, @_charlienoyes. @APompliano summarized in Off The Stack offthechain.substack.com/p/yale-has-inv…
3/ While some tried to suggest the deal was being overhyped, @cryptorae, with a background in endowment investing, articulated just how influential top endowments and Swensen in particular are to other institutionals
