I am proudly Voting YES to Equality in Ireland on May 22nd!

Thousands of young Bonnaroo attendees demand candidates stop taking dirty energy money and stand up for clean energy and climate at campaign launch

One penny coin, UK, 1903

This penny was defaced anonymously between 1913 and 1914 at the height of the militant suffragette campaign in Britain, aimed at achieving the right to vote for women. Women were awarded the partial vot in 1918, eventually winning the same rights as men in 1928.

Part of I object: Ian Hislop's search for dissent

(September 2018 – January 2019)

A wide variety of objects are on display in the exhibition – from graffiti on a Babylonian brick to a banknote with hidden rude words, from satirical Turkish shadow puppets to a recently acquired ‘pussy’ hat worn on a women’s march. See what tales these objects tell – sometimes deadly serious, often humorous, always with conviction. Unlock the messages and symbols these people used, and get closer to understanding them...

This history in 100(ish) objects shows that people have always challenged and undermined orthodox views in order to enable change. They even did so despite the establishment usually taking a pretty dim view – for most of history you could expect a gruesome punishment, up to and including death, for this kind of subversive behaviour. This suggests that maybe we are programmed to dissent – it’s just part of who we are. Ultimately, the exhibition will show that questioning authority, registering protest and generally objecting are an integral part of what makes us human.

Governor Voting Early. by Jay Baker at Baltimore, MD.

Don't forget to vote! Early voting in the primaries runs through March 2 and the official primary is on March 6. Since these are primaries, you'll have to pick either the Republican or Democratic primary to vote in, which always bugs me a little since I'm an independent. But given that lately every day at the State and Federal level seems like a race between corruption and incompetence, it was an easy choice this year.

Vote, a message from FontShop and Anarko

I was registered to vote too late for 2000 elections, didn't receive my 2004 absentee ballot, but finally exercised my right to vote in a Presidential election. Casting my vote for the next President of the United States (early/absentee vote in NY as I will be in DC for elections coverage). Now, go out and take advantage of early voting if available in your state.

Vote for the man who will inspire and bring change.

Vote, a message from FontShop and Dekoria

I am placing my vote-by-mail ballot in an official county drop box.

One of the voting posters I tweeted on Election Day.

"Vote Tuesday 4 Kloppenburg!"

"Wisconsin deserves the best"

I got the peach sticker, unlocked the special Foursquare badge, and made it FBO (Facebook Official) with their Elections app. I voted! I hope you did too.

Vote early! Vote often! Vote for Obama!

The old-style lever voting machines are supposed to have been replaced already, though I'm glad they're not. They're fun, and I've never voted on anything else.

vote!

So you can see the textures.

Please go vote for the quilt of the year! As you may know, do.Good.Stitches is a charity bee, making quilts for people in need. Rachel at Stitched in Color is holding her annual event to celebrate do.Good.Stitches. The participants of the winning circle will win awesome prizes. And please consider joining do.Good.Stitches if you haven't already!

I wonder what the issue was,

Inside the abandoned AL TECH Specialty Steel Corp.

Funny thing is i always have done but anything that encourages the silent ones to vote must be a good thing. The others will speak for you and if you don't bother their voices will be the ones that count not yours!

this is what it was like to vote for obama in SF in the mission in 2008.

This is how we do it in NYC.

Anchorage municipal elections.

I got jealous of everyone else's stickers, so I made my own.

I think I will

did you?

I feel obligated to vote in honor of those who fought for me to be able to do so.

Furthermore, voting in the primaries gives me the right to complain about the candidates in November. :-) If you don't vote, then you can't complain. And please don't tell me that your vote doesn't count. I'm pretty sure that if more people actually did think that their vote counts, many elections would turn out differently.

I'm getting off of my soap box now.

Supposedly, the Brazos County Voter Registrar office mailed me my voter registration card three times. None of them ever made it to me. I ended up having to go to to office and pick up a fourth card. It really bothered me that they didn't seem concerned at all about none of the 3 cards they sent making it to me via the USPS.
