People of Illinois: We have same-day voter registration! If you bring proof of address (a piece of mail with your name and address on it), you can register to vote TODAY and then vote TODAY. More info below! Please do it! (And please vote for Kat!)
What is grace period registration?
Grace period registration is an extension of the regular registration deadline.
Grace period registration authorizes each election authority to establish
procedures for the registration of voters and for change of address during the period from
the close of registration for an election through Election Day.
Although the traditional voter registration period closes 28 days prior
to the election, grace period registration extends that deadline from the 27th day prior to
an election through Election Day.
Grace period registration is only available in-person at designated sites.
What is grace period voting?
If a voter who registers to vote or changes their address during this grace period wishes to
vote in the election occurring during this grace period, they must do so in-person at the
same time that they register. The election authority may allow grace period voting by mail
only if the election authority has no ballots prepared and available when the registration
occurs.
Where is grace period registration and voting available?
During the grace period people can register and vote:
1) at the office of the election authority;
2) at a permanent polling place established by the election authority;
3) at any other early voting site beginning 15 days prior to the election;
4) at some polling places on Election Day;
5) at a location specifically designated for this purpose by the election authority.
Check with your local election authority to determine the locations and hours available in your
area
May I verify that my voter registration is correct?
Yes, Illinois residents can check with their local election authority or go online at
www.elections.il.gov under “Online Voter Registration” to verify that their registration is
correct.

Is there anything worse than a child dying of cancer when it was preventable? What did these Cuban children do to Trump or Marco Rubio to deserve to die this torturous death?

Erik Sperling
@ErikSperling
US sanctions reportedly killing children with cancer:

Amid worsening shortages, Cuba's rate of childhood cancer survival has fallen by 15% — from roughly 80% to 65% — according to data from Cuba’s Health Ministry.

Kids with cancer should never be collateral damage of US policyLa Jornada
@lajornadaonline
Si el cáncer es una enfermedad que devora o maltrata vidas de un día para otro, la aparición de ese mal en niños es todavía más doloroso. Robarle el futuro a un menor es una doble tragedia: la es para quien la sufre y para sus familiares.
