BREAKING: US congress receives bill to review SA relations following ‘politically motivated’ ICJ case – The Mail & Guardian

The bipartisan bill accuses the ANC, President Cyril Ramaphosa and Naledi Pandor of anti-semitic statements

A bill has been submitted to the United States congress calling for a full review of the country’s bilateral relationship with South Africa following the International Court of Justice ruling that found it plausible that Israel has committed acts of genocide against Gaza. The bipartisan bill which was introduced by US Republican congressman John James and Democratic Party congressman Jared Moskowitz this week could threaten South Africa’s prospects to benefit from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The bill will still need to be discussed and passed by congress. It states that not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, US President Joe Biden in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, shall certify to the appropriate congressional committees and release publicly an unclassified determination explicitly stating whether South Africa has engaged in activities that undermine United States national security or foreign policy interests.

Obey me Hogwarts AU headcanons

Basically the title, only doing Lucifer, Mammon, Satan, and Beel bc their the only ones I can think of which house they belong to. For each HC, MC will be in their house. 

Lucifer

Obviously Slytherin.

Is the house prefect.

Will get perfect scores on all his exams.

Will get into the ring on the Apparition test on his first try.

Will bully first years when he gets the prefect badge because of his authority. MC being the other prefect would tell Lucifer to go easy on the kids.

If MC and Lucifer were dating he’d most likely help the first years for MC because he doesn’t want a puny brat talking to his lover. The first year would end up running away saying things like ‘Never mind, I can just do this by myself’ and ‘Oh I forgot Professor Solomon asked me to do something for him’ because Lucifer can be very scary

Would sometimes skip class to go make out with MC.

Favorite subject is Charms.

Mammon

Gryffindor because of how reckless he is and how daring and brave he is to steal stuff, because that is something I can’t do.

Will beg MC for help on tests, MC obliged bc their nice.

When he takes the apparition test, he doesn’t move a single bit and ends up failing.

When MC ends up becoming Gryffindor prefect and he doesn’t he’ll be all pouty and jealous. But when he see’s the other Gryffindor prefect all jealousy is forgotten and he always follows you on your prefect duties, to make sure the other prefect doesn’t do anything to you.

Favorite subject is Transfiguration.

Satan

The book boy is Ravenclaw? Never expected that.

Is Hermione Granger, but more cynical.

Just like passes Lucifer, he passes his apparition test on his first attempt.

Would be a very strict prefect. Is basically Percy Weasley but doesn’t constantly clean his badge and doesn’t think that just because he’s a prefect doesn’t mean he’s all powerful.

MC and Satan: Bookworms (MC is a bit toned down on books compared to Satan)

Satan is basically MC’s study-buddy. 

Favorite subject is potions.

Beelzebub

The precious baby is a Hufflepuff.

First day at Hogwarts. Will eat almost everything at the Hufflepuff table. Maybe even the plates if he’s really hungry.

Is not the prefect, but neither is MC. 

Will sneak into the kitchens at night, and the house-elves love him, they’d even remember when his birthday is to give him a giant basket full of food.

Will get splinched on the apparition test, (most likely because he was hungry and wasn’t focused on the location of where they were supposed to apparate.)

Favorite subject is Care of Magical Creatures.

Where do I even begin? I'm appalled. The Canadian government living up to its roots in colonial-settler violence... this is beyond criminal. Contact your MP's. This erasure and anti-Palestinian racism is unacceptable.

For anyone reading this on or after February 26th, 2024 -here is more information/updates:

I haven’t really seen any of the more recent U.S. election news hitting tumblr yet so here’s some updates (now edited with sources added):

There’s evidence of Trump cheating and interfering with the election.

Possible Russian interference.

Mail-in ballots are not being counted or “recognized” in multiple (notably swing) states.

30+ bomb threats were called in and shut down polling stations on Election Day.

20+ million votes are still unaccounted for, and that’s just to have the same voter turnout as 2020.

There was record voter turnout and new/first-time voter registration this year. We definitely should be well over the turnout in 2020.

U.S. citizens are using this site to demand, not only a recount, but a complete investigation into election fraud and interference for the reasons stated above:

The White House

Contact Us | The White House

Contact the President, Vice President, get help with a Federal Agency, or request a Presidential Greeting.

Here is what I submitted as an example:

An investigation for election interference and fraud is required. We desperately need a recount or even a revote. The American people deserve the right to a free and fair election. There has been evidence unveiled of Trump cheating and committing election fraud which is illegal. There is some evidence of possible Russian interference. At least 30+ bomb threats were called in to polling places. Multiple, notably swing states, have ballots unaccounted for and voting machines not registering votes. Ballots and ballot boxes were tampered with and burned. Over 20 million votes that we know of are unaccounted for. With record turnout and new voter registration this year, there should be no possibility that there are less votes than even in the 2020 election.

Multiple screenshots and images.

The first is a screenshot with a link and information for contacting the White House directly regarding election fraud. The instructions include choosing to leave a comment to President Joe Biden directly and to select election security as the reason.

The screenshot then instructs people to include any or all of the following information in a paragraph as a comment to the president:

32 fake bomb threats were called into Democratic leaning poll places, rendering polling places closed for at least an hour.

A lot of people reporting their ballots were not counted for various reasons.

This all occurred in swing states.

This is too coincidental that these things happen and swing in his favor after months of hinting at foul play.

Directly state that an investigation for tampering, interference, fraud is required, not just a recount.

The second image is from the FBI Twitter account that reads:

The next four Gmail screenshots of an email sent to Rachael Bellis from Chris T. Spackman that read together as follows:

Dear BELLIS, RACHAEL E., The Dauphin County Board of Elections received a challenge to your absentee ballot you applied for in the November 5, 2024 General Election. The challenge argues that a provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code takes precedence over the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states and counties to permit U.S. citizens who move overseas to vote by absentee ballot for federal offices based on their last U.S. residential address.

The full text of the challenge that was filed appears below this email.

You may respond to the challenge in any of the following ways:

1. Call the Bureau of Registration and Election at (717) 780-6360;

2. Email a statement to the Bureau at Election election@dauphincounty.gov. Any statement you submit regarding the period during which you lived in Dauphin County, any family or connections that you still have here, and why you are now residing abroad would be read into the record.

3. Appear in person at a Board of Elections hearing scheduled for Friday, November 8 at a time to be determined in the Commissioners Public Hearing Room, 4th floor of Dauphin County Administration Building, 2 S 20d St, Harrisburg, PA 17111. The meeting is also likely to be livestreamed on Facebook on the Dauphin County channel.

Sincerely,

Christopher T Spackman

TEXT OF CHALLENGE BEGINS

Dear Dauphin County Board of Elections,

I am submitting this challenge to an absentee ballot application pursuant to 25 Pa. Stat.

3146.8(f).

25 Pa. Stat. 3146.8(f) Any person challenging an application for an absentee ballot, an absentee ballot, an application for a mail-in ballot or a mail-in ballot for any of the reasons provided in this act shall deposit the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) in cash with the county board, which sum shall only be refunded if the challenge is sustained or if the challenge is withdrawn within five (5) days after the primary or election. If the challenge is dismissed by any lawful order then the deposit shall be forfeited. The county board shall deposit all deposit money in the general fund of the…

The rest of the forwarded email is cut off.

The last image is a screenshot of the official statement from the Centre County, Pennsylvania Board of Commissioners released on November 6, 2024 that states:

Centre County Working with Ballot Scanner Vendor to Export Election Results.

(Bellefonte, PA) -Centre County Elections Office is working continuously to provide mail-in ballot data in order to post unofficial results.

To this point, all ballots have been scanned, including all mail-in ballots.

Centre County's Election team and IT team have identified that the data are successfully being exported from the mail-in ballot scanners, but that the data is not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software.

Centre County's Administrator, John Franek, Jr. stated, "We have not stopped working, and we will continue to work until unofficial results are posted and reported to the Pennsylvania Department of State."

As a next step, Centre County has begun working with the equipment vendor to adjust configurations to make the two systems-the mail-in ballot scanner and the elections software where data are uploaded -compatible with one another.

We will provide updates as we make progress.

I'M ABOUT TO SAVE YOUR A$$ IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH RURI TUNES

GO INTO SETTINGS AND CHANGE IT FROM LEFT/RIGHT TO UP/DOWN. THEN GO INTO A BATTLE AND ROTATE YOUR PHONE VERTICALLY SO THAT THE LINE IS ON THE BOTTOM. PLAY THAT SH*T LIKE PIANO TILES I PROMISE YOU YOUR SCORE WILL IMPROVE. IT IS WAYY EASIER.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

there's an app called "No Thanks" that scans barcodes and tells you whether a company supports israel or not if anyone is interested! it should be available on most app stores!

Today when I pick up my 7 year old from school I know I am going to cry uncontrollably. Because my child is safe. My child does not have to worry about where the next meal will come from. My child does not have to flee our home to desperately seek safety.

Lama Jamous is 9 years old and her future as a journalist is not secure. Over 11,000 children who could have gone on to bright and beautiful futures will never have that future. No child in Gaza is safe.

Please don't look away and please don't stop talking about Palestine.

Confession of a grieving Palestinian, forever away from home.

(For the record, hopelessness does not mean giving up. When you feel like you can do so little, just do what you can. Donate. Protest. Scream the truth.)
