    Killer Mike On The Importance of Voting

    NowThis caught up with Rapper and Sanders supporter Killer Mike in the spin room following the democratic debate.

    This can not be broadcasted enough

    Dear American readers: this is actually more important than voting for president. Imagine what Obama could have achieved if he HADN’T BEEN FIGHTING A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS EVERY. DAMN. STEP.

    ^ SERIOUSLY THIS IS IMPORTANT RIGHT HERE

    Killer Mike is a badass

    And he’s right :D

    Voting is of paramount importance. But reforming the way we draw the boundaries of Congressional districts is JUST AS IMPORTANT. We will have a Republican House in 2017 BECAUSE OF GERRYMANDERING. No “Bernie Wave” will be big enough to overcome that… and our next chance to change things up there isn’t until the after the 2020 Census.

    Vote. But voting is necessary but insufficient by itself. Structural reforms of our political institutions are the prerequisites for real, lasting change.

    Illinois GOP bill attacks single moms: No birth certificate or financial aid without the father

    solarbird:

    profeminist:

    “The measure, which amends the state’s Vital Records Act, would prevent the child from receiving a birth certificate or financial assistance if the father was not identified.

    The bill states:

    “Provides that if the unmarried mother cannot or refuses to name the child’s father, either a father must be conclusively established by DNA evidence or, within 30 days after birth, another family member who will financially provide for the child must be named, in court, on the birth certificate. Provides that absent DNA evidence or a family member’s name, a birth certificate will not be issued and the mother will be ineligible for financial aid from the State for support of the child.”

    Ed Yohnka of the Illinois American Civil Liberties Union told the Chicagoist that the bill was troubling even though it was not expected to pass the Democratic supermajority in the state House.”

    I swear it’s all about sadism. That’s all the GOP is at this point. Sadistic motherfuckers whose lives aren’t complete unless they’re hurting somebody.

    It’s officially official. If you vote Republican, you are in no way an “ally” of the trans community.

    If you fail to vote Democratic this November, you are aiding and abetting the zealots and bigots who want to make my life more difficult and dangerous. 

  • After about 20 minutes doing battle with the IRS phone system

    I found a human. An actual real human.

    I asked him about whether I need to file a tax return. Given I was in the US for 14 days of 2015, and I didn’t work for any of them, it seems ridiculous to do so. A friend of ours reckons I don’t need to.

    I’d scoured the website looking for a definitive answer, rather than just interpreting various things, and couldn’t really come up with anything. So I thought I’d contact them. The online system eventually dumps you at a person who can’t actually offer tax advice, but does refer you to their phone system. So I rang their phone system.

    However, after several attempts where I just got dumped out of the phone system after an automated message which basically said “This menu option no longer functions” I finally found a person. Yay!

    Only no.

    He informed me that “Because of budget cuts” there is “no longer a department that can answer your query”. We then spent about 10 minutes of entertainment as he searched the site, and went through the same loop of the online tax advice thing before concluding that “I may need to seek outside advice”.

    So that’s fun.
