4th Circuit STRIKES DOWN South Carolina law that only allows voters to vote absentee if they are over the age of 65 or fall into several limited categories for violating the 26th Amendment by denying the right to vote to many voters under 65.

Marc Elias

A South Carolina law that lets anyone 65 years old and above vote by mail but requires younger people to provide an excuse to cast absentee ballots violates the Constitution’s prohibition on abridging voting rights based on age, the Fourth Circuit ruled.

Democracy Docket

The decision creates a split with the 5th and 7th Circuits, which had previously upheld similar age restrictions for mail ballots. This could invite the Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue.

Tom Savini is a fucking legend. And he lost everything. His home. His beloved pets. His life's work - work that served as the foundation of the horror we hold most dear. There isn't the character count to list his legacy here. If you can, please consider donating.

I don't think people understand the extent to which this has been a decade plus long billionaire funded campaign (obviously Thiel is involved). We've tried to ring the alarm about these eugenicists but it is too easy for them to get parroted by the mainstream media.

An experimental mRNA-based vaccine succeeded in preventing cancer from coming back or spreading in a study of high-risk melanoma patients, paving the way for a potentially new life-extending treatment for the thousands of people diagnosed with the deadly skin cancer each year.

This is what the billionaire press and many politicians were campaigning so hard to destroy. Their freedom to drive took precedence over our children's freedom to thrive.

Ulez has delivered remarkable public health gains in a short period. Sadiq deserves more credit than he’s had for defying Labour pressure to U-turn after Uxbridge.

Remember nose-picker, Iain Dullwit Smith, cheering on thugs in his constituency for vandalising ULEZ cameras? What an idiot. Always on the wrong side of history. Whereas Khan and ULEZ got it right. And put children’s health first.
