Missouri Republicans want to sabotage voting reforms

As Brennan Center expert @mcpli notes, the language in the amendment is “disturbing” and would “set the stage for the legislature to attempt to draw districts in 2021 on the basis of eligible voters or citizens.” https://t.co/MqMCyWBORT

After Missouri voters approved Amendment 1 in a landslide last year, making legislative redistricting fairer, Republicans in the legislature are now are plotting to roll back the amendment and make the ballot initiative process more difficult. https://t.co/Yapk5IdQyZ

The people approved Amendment 1–now, MO Legislature, leave it alone.

“But the experience in Missouri and other states shows that politicians will seek to undermine reforms, no matter what the voters say.” https://t.co/cN1bU10KIm

The world Jewish population is lower than it was in 1939

Dear god, I’d never seen this statistic.

“the global Jewish population in 2019 (~15 million) is still lower than it was in 1939 (16.6 million). So many Jews were murdered that we still haven't recovered demographically after 80 years.” https://t.co/FkpPUidGVS

Just a reminder that the Holocaust only ended 74 years ago.

There are still fewer Jews alive today than there were in 1939.

Hi! The global Jewish population has still not rebounded from the Holocaust. There were 16.6 million Jews in 1939, then 6 million of us were annihilated in a genocide that happened when "It's A Wonderful Life" came out in movie theaters, and now there are 14.8 million of us.

Jewish population has never fully recovered from the Holocaust’s devastation
