Let me tell you about Oregon mail in voting because I fucking love voting in this state.

They send you an entire book with information on all the candidates and bills right there. The way proposed bills and amendments are formatted is they have a neutral, plain language summary, the actual text of the bill, and then arguments for or against submitted by various groups. It's a solid summary of the issue being voted on and its various sides delivered right to your doorstep. Sometimes the sheriffs claim something that's the literal opposite of what the bill says and you can see the blatant lies because the text of the bill is literally on the previous page. It's great, everywhere should do this.

The arguments section is usually like 2-3 pages, 4-6 if its a controversial issue. The arguments section for this amendment was TWELVE pages long with not a single argument against. 12 whole pages of unanimous bipartisan support. Bills dealing with gun control and drugs haven't been this long!

We did it. We found the bipartisan agreement everyone's been looking for and its that senators should have to show up to their fucking jobs. Truly everybody disliked this.

So as the GOP throw their little tantrums, please know that their own voter base was absolutely dragging their asses over this and laugh at their baby tears.

Brother Rodney Saves the Vatican

(whenever ao3 goes down for maintenance or otherwise, it's time for another installment of The Pope John series)

"Tua Santità," Bishop Ronon said, pausing to put a hand against the trembling wall of the audience hall. "The evacuations are complete. You must get out before the edifice crumbles." The grumble of straining stone nearly drowned out his voice.

"Nah." Pope John waved his hand casually. "I'm waiting for Brother Rodney. He'll fix things up in a jiffy."

Biden rescinds most of rule allowing religious interference in health care - Americans United
Americans United

The administration of President Joe Biden acted last month to mostly rescind a Trump-era Denial of Care Rule that invited health care workers to deny medical treatment and services to patients because of personal religious or moral beliefs.

Americans United applauded the move.

“We applaud the Biden administration for taking positive steps toward protecting both religious freedom and patients’ health by rescinding the Trump-era Denial of Care Rule,” said Rachel Laser, AU’s president and CEO. “No one should be denied the health care they need because of someone else’s religious beliefs.

“The Denial of Care Rule was a dangerous policy that weaponized religious freedom and put the health and lives of women, LGBTQ+ people, religious minorities and so many others in jeopardy,” Laser continued. “Today’s rule seeks to protect patients from harm and upholds the fundamental principle of church-state separation.”
