So you may or may not have heard, Biden is proposing a constitutional amendment that would reverse the Supreme Court’s immunity decision and create term limits for the Supreme Court. A constitutional amendment requires Congress to pass it. If you have thoughts on this and want to encourage your representative to vote a certain way then MAKE YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. CLICK HERE TO FIND AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS. Until Trump takes it away from us we’re still a democracy so LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

AND DON’T FORGET: we’re not just voting for president this year, there’s also a ton of Congress seats (both House and Senate) that are up for re-election so if your local representatives are people that wouldn’t vote for this, then VOTE THEM OUT!

Contact them and tell them you won’t vote for them if they don’t support this amendment. Congress is supposed to work for us so MAKE THEM WORK FOR US!

This is why voting matters.

If this doesn't make sense to you just look at all of those pictures from the 70s of women protesting for reproductive rights (and protesting against Vietnam, Reagan, etc.). Those women are still around and they are super pissed that they are still having to protest the same crap.

(On the plus side, they are super good at protesting. Seriously, if you want tips on protesting ask your elders).

tumblr leftists being surprised to see middle aged white women with signs or hats saying "deny defend depose" really reinforces for me that tumblr leftists don't actually talk to people lmao. like I did a lot of canvassing as a teenager and you know who the best most reliable political organizers are? middle aged women. you know who's bloodthirsty after watching rachel maddow every night and sharing HuffPo articles on facebook? middle aged women. maybe sheryl from iowa who's been voting religiously for democrats for the past thirty years IS more hardcore than you, tumblr user who did a write-in "protest vote." what are you going to do about that.

CANADIANS:

Today (2025/04/28) is ELECTION DAY! Have you voted yet!?

You can determine where to vote, and what ID to bring, Here.

You can learn what you need to vote, Here. The key information:

When you vote in Canada, you must prove your identity and address (for a list of acceptable documents, click here). You have three options: Show one original piece of photo identification issued by a Canadian government, whether federal, provincial or local, or an agency of that government, that contains your photo, name and address (for example, a driver's licence), or Show two pieces of identification from a list authorized by the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada. Both must have your name and one must also have your address (such as a health card and utility bill), or You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you. The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care institutions).

Please, everyone; the polls have tightened and the Conservatives, lefd by a guy who was canoodling on Twitter with fucking Elon Musk just a few short months ago, are within spitting distance of winning. We can all see the raging fascist dumpster fire that the America has become, thanks in part to apathy! We cannot afford to let the same thing happen here!

VOTE!!!

I'm doing research for a college project on voting and age demographics! If anyone could answer some questions, it would be so helpful!

1. Did anyone encourage the importance of voting during your childhood?

2. Did you vote recently?

3. What age are you?

4. How much political content do you see online on a daily basis?

5. If you didn't vote, any reason why?

the federal election is Monday, April 28th, 2025.

On general voting day, you must vote at a specific polling place based on your current residential address -- which you can update at the polling place.

See the Elections Canada website for more information: https://www.elections.ca/home.aspx

As for voting hours, it will vary based on your time zone, ex. it may be from 9:30 am to 9:30 pm, or 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Make sure you know what time the polls close! As mentioned above, as long as you're in line to vote when the polls close, then you must be allowed to vote.

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.

shoutout to the random videos appearing in my youtube history called TRUMP IS KING etc that are made by channels i’ve never heard of. really feels like some fishy agenda push

[duchess-of-mandalore]

I’m so sorry we didn’t learn, George.

I know its not that good, but it was still fun

Donald Harris is a very smart man

[doomsday-architect]

It's interesting........

Mid term clock keeps ticking, getting closer.

Moderate Democrats are WAITING to hear something, anything their leaders want to do for THEM, for America.

The crickets are chirping, the silence is deafening.

Listen.........

TDS. Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's EVERYWHERE in the media.

No discussion on problem solving.

America has problems?

Obviously too hard for Democrats to even talk about or admit to.

But, they have time and energy and taxpayer money to travel to El Salvadore to try to return a criminal to America.

Now, THAT'S putting America FIRST!

The FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan in Milwaukee on Friday, April 25, alleging that she obstructed federal authorities who were seeking to detain an undocumented immigrant, by escorting the man and his defense attorney through a nonpublic jury door. In other words, she prevented ICE from using her courtroom as a trap to kidnap immigrants. The judge's arrest marks a significant escalation in the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, in line with its threats about going after local and state authorities on immigration-related matters. It also marks another step in the Trump administration's battles with judges, especially those who rule against the lawless policies of the Trump administration. Arresting judges for protecting the rights of people being persecuted by the government is a tactic taken from Hitler's playbook — and another step toward fascism for America.

Or earlier! Any red state can turn blue if enough voters turn out.
