NYC: Did you know you can VOTE EARLY today?

It’s easy, I just did it, and I’ll show you how in this thread ⬇️
1. Find your early voting location.
NOTE: It’s not the same as your regular polling location! So look it up since this is new for everyone.

Find yours here:
nyc.pollsitelocator.com/search
2. Find out how you’re going to vote! This year we have 5 ballot proposals, including one on RANKED CHOICE VOTING which is pretty cool.

Here’s the NYT breakdown on the proposals. It includes their endorsements & rationale but of course vote as you wish:

3. Head to your location and vote! Make sure you check the times because they vary.

And if you don’t make it today, be sure to vote on Tuesday!

This phrase is spoken during markups, which are different from hearings. In markups, members are debating the actual written substance of legislation - be it a bill, or (in this case) articles.

“Strike the last word” means you’re adding a pro forma amendment & using it to talk.

Sometimes being a new member of the House feels like being in Hogwarts. There are lots of arcane parliamentary phrases (I jokingly call them “magic spells”) one can learn to speak on the floor or gain exceptions.

Deep knowledge of these rules is rare but can be powerful.

Me waiting on the haters to apologize after we were proven right on Amazon and saved the public billions
While we’re here, let’s clear up some GOP disinfo:
- “It’s 1500 jobs vs 25,000”: The 25,000 jobs figure was a 10-20 year fantasy # from Amazon, not a promise or agreement. In exchange for that lack of commitment, they wanted billions of public $. Their Y1 jobs projection was 700.
- “It’s in Manhattan, not Queens”: If you live in NYC, you would know people commute to work. Amazon would not have paid taxes for many, many years and not contribute to fixing our crumbling subway system. So lots of added strain, no benefit.

The rule ignores the reality of American life.

Plenty of parents who support can’t claim “adult” (18+) children as dependents.

Getting disability status is notoriously difficult &food is an immediate need. What if someone has an undiagnosed mental issue, like severe depression?
These exclusionary “rules” sound great to anyone who hasn’t dealt with the actual lived experience. In truth it means paperwork, waiting, & absurdist bureaucracy.

Let’s talk about the example of severe depression, which is an elevated risk for people in economic hardship.
If you have severe depression (or any number of mental issues), everyday life is very difficult. But it’s really hard to get disability status in general for mental health issues.

So if you need food stamps, and can’t afford a dr’s visit for a diagnosis/medicine, you go hungry.

Si c'était au Japon ou au Vénézuéla, vous l'auriez entendu partout mais comme ça se passe à Haïti... Une insurrection voir une révolutions'y déroule en ce moment même

#Thread ⤵️⤵️
Vendredi 28 à l’appel de l’opposition radicale, plusieurs dizaines de milliers de manifestants ont répondu à ce qui semble être la plus grande mobilisation anti-gouvernementale baptisée « Operasyon Moun Fou » pour exiger la démission du Chef de l’État.
Les manifestants visent aussi bien les forces de police, les batiments gouvernementaux que ceux des ONG américains et étrangers car jugés complices de l'état du pays

#THREAD | I'll be tracking pro-govt deaths again for the #Idlib #Hama operation. Some notes:
- ALL deaths come from pro-govt sources
- Exact places of deaths are only partially accurate
- Numbers KIA should be viewed as approximations
- If I post anything wrong please correct me
#Idlib_Dawn operation began May 6 targeting #Qalaat_alMudiq axis on #Hama

At least 10 loyalist KIA including 1 on Jub Ahmar (#Latakia/#Hama border)

HOWEVER May 6 was also 'martyrs day' so Facebook was flooded w/ old martyr posts making collecting accurate data very difficult.
7 of these deaths were #Tiger_Forces w/ 6 from #Taha_Regiment's Maskana Group and Omar Naqr Group (pic)

Jub Ahmar death was from #4th_Division, although I was told there were many other deaths here not reported on loyalist social media.

#Thread Liberals and hypocrisy.
#SadhviPragyaSinghThakur is accused of Malegaon 2008 attack in which 6 people were killed.
"But NIA gave her clean chit in 2017". And there was no enough evidence to prove her guilty.
Still Liberals are literally crying & calling her terrorists
Now after her recent statement about her "curse", media and liberals are making another scene.

Do u guys really think curse work ? (question of liberals)
That man Hemant tortured a lady every day every night.Without any proof against her. In anger she said this.
(3/n) Liberals you are calling #SadhviPragya a "terrorist".
Did you forgot JNU kand of 2016 ? And when ur master supported those who want to break India in pieces. Remember ?
"Bharat tere tukre honge....." Yaad aya ??

Tell me who is real terrorists now.

யார் பெரியார்? #Thread
--
சமீபத்திய பொள்ளாச்சி விவகாரத்தில் கூட பெண்களின் ஒழுக்கம் பற்றி கேள்வியெழுப்பிய சனாதன மதவாத ஆண்களை செருப்பால் அடித்தவர்தான் பெரியார்.
நவீனத்தின் வளர்ச்சியடைந்திருந்தாலும் சுயசாதி உணர்வு பேசி வலம் வரும் ஆப்பாயில் இளைஞர்களை செருப்பால் அடித்து சமத்துவம் போதிக்கும் கருத்தியலின் தந்தைதான் பெரியார்.
தமிழ், தமிழன் என்று பேசும் மேடைப் பொய்யர்களின் தம்பிகளுக்கும் சேர்த்து தமிழை எளிமையாக்கி மூலை முடுக்கெல்லாம் பரவச் செய்தவர் பெரியார்.

Following Iranian media outlets, the @iaeaorg and international community should investigate @netanyahu's claim regarding Iran's secret atomic facility.
It is highly likely that the evidence provided by Netanyahu is reliable. 1/9
This was the video published by an Iranian website. It is interesting why these three men are asking people to not visit the location. In this video they repeatedly ask people to not try to visit the place because there is nothing. But they fail to show inside the building. 2/9
Iranian state TV reporter went to the location. The reporter refused to ask to go inside and show inside the building.
In the report, a man in a red T-shirt[was introduced as an ordinary citizen]makes fun of Netanyahu.Him and another person claim the place is an old depot.3/9
