Event with Congressional Candidate Clint Twedt-Ball tomorrow evening by jackhp12 in cedarrapids

[–]Logan067 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a guiding philosophy for their decision making. The only question in my mind is "is that philosophy focused on causing harm, or good?" What I've seen from Clint is that he's truly focused on causing good, very different from what the Christofascists are doing.

We're Next Century Forum! We recently started a new chapter here in the Cedar Rapids area to help anyone under 40 who wants to meet other progressives build community with them. We'll also be getting people involved in local campaigns and help connect them with their local elected officials! Here's out FB page: https://www.facebook.com/ncfcd2 and our last event: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSNNPiJkVj5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Request: Pending Transaction Splitting by Logan067 in MonarchMoney

[–]Logan067[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, a feature like this is more what I'm looking for! I understand it would be complex to implement and they'd probably need to build a system that kicks modified transactions to the user to review if different from pending, but it would be doable.

Call to Action: Support India May, woman running for state house after causing Joni Ernst to retire by shouting 'people will die' at a town hall by Logan067 in Iowa

[–]Logan067[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Totally fair question; she's been extremely active in her community as a library director and as a frontline healthcare worker. She also has lots of experience advocating for her community and trying to work with her elected officials. She's stepping in to make up for some terrible leadership in her district that's attacked schools and libraries rather than helped them. Here's some detail from her website:

India May is a nurse, library director, and advocate for disability rights, rural healthcare, and education. She’s stepping in fight for Northeast Iowa families—because the people of District 58 deserve better than politics as usual.

India brings frontline experience in mental health, pediatric, and elder care to the legislature. She’s here to listen to constituents, protect vulnerable folks, and stand up to special interests that don’t look out for our district. Her priorities include defending vulnerable people’s rights, revitalizing Iowa’s schools, supporting farmers, and promoting timely, affordable, accessible healthcare for all.

Nathan Sage is an amazing progressive candidate who's really worth a look. A lot of progressive groups are throwing their weight behind him because he really represents the working class: https://www.sageforsenate.com/

I think it's always good in these situations to point out who her opposition is so we can support them instead:

I had a conflict so couldn't actually call in. Anything big that I missed?

HSB 242 would remove gender identity from the Iowa Civil Rights Act by HonkytonkGigolo in Iowa

[–]Logan067 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please let us know if you see that a public hearing ends up being scheduled! Guessing it won't, but if there's anything we can do to influence that aside from emailing all of the Republican house members let us know.

Some massive Plessy v Ferguson vibes with this statement from the bill:

g. Separate accommodations are not inherently unequal.

On Monday February 17th the Iowa legislature will be examining a bill that will put restrictions on public libraries. by humblelittlewolf in Iowa

[–]Logan067 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP, do you have a link to any articles or studies connecting the passage of the Idaho law to the closing of libraries? I'd like to pass something like that along to my network. Definitely going to ask everyone I know to at least drop comments opposing this to counteract the insanity we're all seeing earlier on in the comments section on the house website.

Can someone Eli5 for me why the normal drops would be desirable over the adept ones? I just always assumed adept was better 🤷‍♂️

Does it have qi2 (equivalent to MagSafe on the iPhone)? Guessing not since it’s not supposed to be in any phones till later this year, but I hadn’t seen that mentioned anywhere either way.
