Two million U.S. voters with felony convictions have the right to vote—but might not know, researchers say

  • Logan Act

    The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.

  • There is a lot wrong with Amazon, and I don't buy there, but as far as I know they never sold toxic stuff (although I wouldn't be surprised whatever happens in the future, but that's a different story). One thing this tells us is that China is not the way to go. It's the worst outcome of so-called neo-liberal capitalism within an authoriatarian political system.

  • There is a good series of research articles on mis/disinformation. It's content isn't completely new and focused on the U.S., but it applies to any regions imho.

    Reckoning with Mis/Disinformation in 2024: A four-part series

    [...] Political rhetoric is again ramping up and new technologies are casting a shadow over public deliberation [...] In this four-part series, members of our research network reflect on their influential work on mis- and disinformation in the context of today’s challenges, laying out some essential questions and insights to bolster public discourse in fraught times.​

  • United Auto Workers (UAW) endorses Vice President Harris in the upcoming presidential election, citing ‘track record’ with workers

    "Our job in this election is to defeat Donald Trump and elect Kamala Harris to build on her proven track record of delivering for the working class,” [United Auto Workers (UAW) Shawn] Fain said [...]

    “We can put a billionaire back in office who stands against everything our union stands for, or we can elect Kamala Harris, who will stand shoulder to shoulder with us in our war on corporate greed,” Fain added.

    Fain and Trump have sparred publicly for months. Trump called for Fain to be fired during his speech at the Republican National Convention, and the UAW hit back on the social platform X, calling the former president “a scab and a billionaire.”

    Last week, Fain praised Harris for walking the picket line with UAW workers in 2019, saying Trump, who was in office at the time, “sure as hell wasn’t on the picket line.”

  • Yes, but for the West it's just easier to block Swift than a decentralized network. But in principle I agree. That China and Russia haven't obviously found something better to arrange payments than barter and a blockchain is a clear sign imo that they are in big trouble.
