Hi! Anti-vaxxers are trying (and succeeding) to kill children!
For almost a year The Sunday Times has been running a campaign on vaccines. This week we were nominated for a UK Press Award (having won a British Journalism Award in Dec for our vaccines work). That we report this today saddens me greatly:
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Health officials are racing to contain a growing measles outbreak in London, which has struck down dozens of young children and affected 7 schools and a nursery.
UKHSA has warned an outbreak across London could see 40,000 - 160,000 cases:

Also you have to prove your identity & status when you register to vote.
These dudes think this is so clever.
Beyond the difference in harms that accompanies the age limits for booze and voting, there were 26,000+ arrests of minors for liquor law violations in 2019. It’s a relatively common crime.
There are functionally no arrests each year for in-person voter fraud.

If the government can take away your voting rights for a felony conviction, and they also decide what constitutes a felony, and they also decide who’s charged with the felony, and they also decide who’s prosecuted for the felony, you don’t have a right to vote.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.
