@nyc311.bsky.social Is there any way--like a map or even a list--- to find early voting locations besides searching for specific addresses on the website? Specifically, for the Bronx?

The whole idea of these events is to focus on things like knocking on doors and voting information. And there is nothing wrong with a few hours of joy and talking to your neighbors.

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?

I am pretty sure that all of this "regulate us" stuff is something they came up with to avoid more mundane product liability claims. (Think about Google maps leadng people to do dangerous things -- even though they act like Google maps is not AI.)

One important policy lesson from this story is how Facebook committed blatant tax fraud in 2013 (Zuckerberg's stock options as R&D) and still hasn't been forced to pay it and thus learned that tax fraud is an acceptable business practice and so is doing it again.

Ignoring the actual problem that social workers and early childhood teachers are vastly underpaid compared to their qualifications. Not coincidently low paid occupations are overwhelmingly female dominated. Fair pay and valuing work by women are the real soultions.

The counselling that other students were organizing, At that time there was no such a think as a special unit or a rape kit and there were no protocols. On campus at least the hope was to keep a victim from having to see their rapist everyday or being raped again.

Graduating from college in 1981 I don't think that there was anythng like consensus on this, but at the time regular police would have done nothing. It was important not to pressure victims who would show up for counseling to report to the police or anyone because of how horrific it was.
