Hello Representative Levin, I'd like to introduce you to an organization called the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs. NDI is one of the four core institutes of the National Endowment for Democracy, established by Congress in 1983. It is the Democratic Party's official international arm. Its board members include Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Michael McFaul. Its previous chair was Madeleine Albright, who served until her death in 2022. Also on the board: Eric Kessler, founder of Arabella Advisors, the largest dark money network in Democratic politics. NDI reported $181.5 million in revenue in fiscal year 2023, nearly all in government grants. NDI's mission, for four decades, has been to tell countries around the world how to run democratic elections. And what NDI consistently tells them, across dozens of countries, is that voter identification is a fundamental pillar of election integrity, and that proving citizenship is a basic prerequisite for participation. Here is what NDI has demanded of other countries: NDI's foundational guide, Building Confidence in the Voter Registration Process (2001), describes voter ID systems as standard democratic infrastructure. It states that voter registries should contain "voters' photographs and even their fingerprints" and that registered voters should be issued "a voter or other ID card that serves as proof of their right to vote." NDI explains that "issuing ID cards, either national or voting, requires a second point of contact between election officials and voters, which introduces an additional safeguard into the system." (pp. 10–11, 15) NDI's 2015 study of voter registration across the Middle East and North Africa goes further, laying out that voters must "prove their identity, essentially demonstrating that they are who they say they are" and must "affirm their citizenship and age." (p. 11) That same 2001 guide identifies married name changes as a routine voter roll maintenance challenge: "Election officials must update information about people who have moved or who have married and changed their surname." NDI also notes that voter lists "may omit information about changes of address or name for those eligible people who have recently moved or married." NDI's recommendation is not to eliminate voter ID. It is to maintain clean, continuously updated voter rolls that accommodate name changes within the system. In its 2009 Bangladesh report, NDI praised the country's new photo-voter list and national ID card system, noting that the ID cards gave "a sense of empowerment and belonging to the disadvantaged and marginalized people of the country, particularly women." Read that again. NDI itself called voter identification empowering for WOMEN! In every case, NDI's position was identical: marriage-related name changes are a solvable administrative problem. The solution is better record-keeping and updated systems. Not fewer safeguards. Not the elimination of voter ID. Your party's own international arm has already solved the problem you bring up. The answer is: maintain the rolls. Update the records. Issue the IDs. Accommodate name changes within the system, don't use them as a reason to have no system at all. The exact opposite of what you push here - refusing to clean voter rolls. By NDI’s own standards, by the standards of your own international soft power branch, YOUR position is the anti-feminist position. The SAVE America Act asks Americans to do less than what NDI demands of Nicaragua, less than what NDI praises in Morocco, and far less than the biometric fingerprint-and-facial-recognition system NDI supervised in Nigeria. Eighty-four percent of Americans support photo ID to vote. Two-thirds of Democrats support it. Jimmy Carter's own 2005 bipartisan commission recommended it. You voted no. Your party's international arm, funded with taxpayer money, chaired by your party's former Senate leader (Tom Daschle), staffed by your party's most prominent voting-rights advocate, says yes. For everyone else. NDI's guides are publicly available on their website. You might consider reading them before you spout mindless drivel to protect your own grift.

🚨BREAKING: Just hours after Irish rappers Kneecap blasted the amps and turned a Havana concert into a rave for Code Pink activists chanting anti-blockade slogans, reports claim local hospital went dark and ventilator patients died. Meanwhile, members of the communist flotilla stayed in 5-star hotels with the lights blazing and AC running. No one cashes in on capitalism faster than the clowns preaching communism.

@PatriotMP1969 @JonnyRoot_ You've clearly never been in an auditorium with a bunch of screaming fans in the seats all focusing their screams towards one area. There's a good possibility neither of them could hear anything the other was saying unless they were right on top of each other.

@bxn45I @wilburbeardiii @Warr4Christ @TheGameVerse Fairly certain Jesus wasn't walking around thinking "My disciples aren't diverse enough, I need to add a "insert preferred group here" to the 12. The Bible says to love everyone. It doesn't say promote diversity in order to love everyone. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

@wilburbeardiii @Warr4Christ @TheGameVerse U are taking that verse out of context. “Judge not, lest ye be judged” isn’t a green light to label people, it’s a warning about hypocrisy and self-righteousness. Jesus called people to love first, not to act as gatekeepers of who is “right with God.”

The Fellowship of the Thing - Official Blackmoor
Being Evil in an RPG (cont.) It is always interesting to start discussions on here about core elements in D&D games. I read all the replies. Fun to see people reacting to it plus or minus. It isn't my point that you can't be evil players in a game. The thing is - classic D&D has certain objectives. The goal is to explore mysterious places full of evil baddies. If you play rough, there is no time for inter-player good vs. evil because their job is to survive while hopefully finding precious magical artifacts. If a party had an evil player mixed into the party when I ru a game it would lead to TPK a lot of the time too. Once players take on the traits of the evil baddies the game goes from, me the DM trying to scare players with monsters that want to eat their faces off, to players searching for these same monsters so they can turn them into pets. It's not that you can't do evil as players, yet it really takes away the referee's duties of providing spooky and terrifying adventures. If you want evil characters there are likely better games for it than D&D, because the premise for D&D is that players are the good guys. This is based in the literature which informs the game. So that is the question which has been brewing in my mind: What RPGs provide a more complete framework for playing as evil characters? First one which comes to my mind is Monsters! Monsters! Whispering Vault could be loosely categorized as one as well.
The Fellowship of the Thing - Official Blackmoor@Blackmoor_Film

The biggest problem with evil characters is actually a lot of problems. First off: On a metagame level, much of what appeals to me about the hero theme is how players work together. An evil character is in conflict with everything it cannot kill or subjugate. Conflict is a fail state, unless the DM nerfs the game to favor that one player who must win. Which points to how narcissistic playing evil PCs ultimately is. Players who do things like torture enemies and or even play aginst other players just do not get invited back. If I want conflict I will play a war game. Just one reason of many, I could go on and on about why having evil PCs break a classic RPG format.

Svetlana Lokhova@RealSLokhova·
I was "sacrificed" to the Mueller witch hunt because the coup plotters needed to destroy President Trump. To achieve this goal, Comey, Brennan, Christopher Steele, CIA operative Stefan Halper, and even my own university professor—who we now know was a British intelligence operative—placed false stories in the media. They claimed I was a Russian spy who had an affair with President Trump's National Security Advisor, and that President Trump had therefore endangered U.S. national security as a result. This smear campaign directly triggered the Mueller investigation into President Trump. Everyone knew the story was completely false. I am not a Russian spy, there was no affair, I was married, and I had just had my first baby. Mueller didn't even interview me, because he knew the entire narrative would collapse if he did. But the truth didn't matter. They were determined to "get Trump." It didn't matter that they hurt innocent families in the process.

A Soldier's Whisper@SoldiersWhisper·
On March 20, 2005, Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester led a counterattack against insurgents who had ambushed her convoy while serving in Iraq. She became the first of two women to earn a Silver Star since World War II. Hester stopped her vehicle as the squad came under heavy machine gun and rocket-propelled grenade fire while on a routine patrol. Directing her gunner to fire, she left the vehicle to engage the insurgents on foot with her squad leader. They crossed over a berm and into the trenches from where the insurgents were firing. Hester and her fellow soldier eliminated them one by one using grenades and rifles. Once the trench was cleared, Hester secured the ambush site. At the end of the engagement, 27 insurgents were killed, six wounded, and one captured. #TheIraqWar #CourageousWomen #Military

🧵 THREAD: Democrats TEACH voter identification and election integrity ... just not in America The Democratic Party has an international arm called the National Democratic Institute (NDI). It's funded by $181M/year in US tax dollars. Its board includes Stacey Abrams, Donna Brazile, and Tom Daschle. But in regards to today's SAVE America Act debate... did you know that the NDI has taught and supervised election processes all over the world? For 40 years, NDI has told every developing country on earth that voter ID is essential for election integrity. They've recommended biometric systems... yes, that's right, NDI recommended biometric systems, which goes way beyond SAVE America Act! They praised fingerprint verification. Tracked ID card issuance rates. Meanwhile, Democrats call the SAVE Act "Jim Crow 2.0." Same party. Same people. Opposite positions. As always, patience as I pull together the thread 👇
