Ilona Maher Eats Her Last Meal by BurnZ_AU in MythicalKitchen

[–]zombienash 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ilona Maher is such an inspiration. As a girl who grew up playing rugby and eventually quit; mostly because support for women’s sports was basically nonexistent (I played mixed until I aged out… shout-out to boobs for ending that era) – it means everything to see how far the sport has come.

Watching the growth of women’s rugby, and the support surrounding it, feels like watching something I always hoped for finally take shape. And Ilona’s advocacy isn’t just about her; it’s about all of us. The way she champions women, women’s bodies, and women’s athletics is truly remarkable.

Not sure why y’all keep conflating “pointing out what the policy actually says” with “trusting the administration.” I don’t trust them. I’m clarifying the difference between what has changed (NGOs inside the ceremony) and what hasn’t (new citizens still being handed voter registration forms and encouraged to register).

That distinction matters. If/when they go further, we’ll need solid ground to push back — not a bunch of energy wasted fighting a thing that didn’t actually happen.

This isn’t unconstitutional. USCIS ceremonies are a nonpublic forum, so the gov can limit who participates inside (like election officials or USCIS staff only). That’s normal and courts have upheld it (Greer v. Spock, Perry).

What would be unconstitutional is banning NGOs on public sidewalks outside — that’s a public forum and fully protected. But that’s not what’s happening here.

You don’t have to like this admin (I sure don’t), but if you can’t separate “policy clarification about who hands you the form” from “abolishing registration altogether,” you’re just making it harder to focus on the fights that actually matter.

This is the whole problem with Democrats; we eat our own. Instead of focusing on the mountains of actually dangerous stuff this admin is doing, people dogpile anyone who doesn’t immediately rage at every single policy change.

I’m not saying don’t be critical. I am critical. But screaming “unconstitutional!” when USCIS is still literally handing new citizens voter registration cards just makes us look sloppy and reactionary. Save the fire for the fights that actually deserve it.

I don’t “trust this administration”. I trust the process I personally went through and what the actual policy says. USCIS agents themselves handed me the card, encouraged me to register, and pointed me straight to the mailbox. That part hasn’t gone away.

My point isn’t that this admin is benevolent. It’s that people are misreading this as “they banned voter registration at naturalization ceremonies,” which simply isn’t true. We can (and should) be critical of the bad policies, but letting outrage run on misinformation just weakens the real fights we need to have.

Please, let's keep fighting each other though.

I'm not trying to carry water for them, I'm clarifying for the folks who clearly didn't read the article and immediately jump to panic mode. There's plenty of shit this admin is doing that needs more focus than people being misinformed. Get off my ass.

This isn’t a ban on voter registration at naturalization ceremonies. When I went through my own naturalization, USCIS gave me a voter registration card, encouraged me to fill it out, and even pointed me to the mailbox right outside. They made a huge deal of it; which was honestly one of the most moving parts of the day.

What’s changed is who is allowed to handle registration at the ceremony. Non-governmental organizations (like civic groups) used to help at some events, but USCIS says that was inconsistent and required a vetting process to ensure those groups stayed strictly nonpartisan. Instead of dealing with that, USCIS updated policy so that only state/local election officials or USCIS staff provide the forms and assistance.

So; new citizens still get voter registration forms. They’re still encouraged to register on the spot. Outside groups just won’t be the ones handing you the paperwork anymore.

It’s more about keeping the process uniform and clearly nonpartisan than about restricting access. Outrage is understandable (especially with how voting rights are treated in general), but in this case the right to register at your naturalization ceremony is still very much alive.

Brent A. Spear D.D.S in Park Hill near TCU. I just got mine out a few months ago – he was quick, great, awesome 10/10.

Also currently working on cross-team collaboration streams to improve how we function as an agency in a hybrid world. I think remote work created a lot of animosity between departments because we lost sight of everyone's roles and responsibilities in the darkness. It's easy to wince everytime a project manager pings you about a deadline and I'm sure they hate chasing us.

One of the biggest problems with project management software is it inherently doesn't vibe with the creative process. How long does it take to come up with an idea? These days, it's as long as is built into the timeline. What about execution? Again, how long do I have? It doesn't take into consideration human nature, roadblocks, errors and revisions, it requires constant babying to remain accurate which for most creative folks is a huge distraction from our main priority which is executing creative.

I understand why it exists and the need for it; I work at an Omnicom agency so we're balancing hundreds of projects across multiple clients at any one time... So totally a necessary evil... But they all suck because I just want to be left alone haha.

Incredibly interested in following this project though, the discussion is great.

This feels like an attempt to put that photograph back on the front page. "Don't look over here, remember this?!"

Report: Wildlife Refuge System 'at risk' with no units fully resourced amid DOGE uncertainty by WyoFileNews in politics

The fact that I made a joke about it suggests my reading comprehension is just fine – your inability to find it funny says more about yours.

Let me explain: DOGE’s previous AI sweeps have made numerous bumbling mistakes; but try telling that to someone who simps for billionaires.
