They were the first flights to land since gangs blockaded and halted commercial air traffic in March. U.S. news reports suggest that the aircraft contained civilian contractors and supplies to pave the way for the deployment of a Kenyan-led security mission to Haiti, which is expected to begin any day now. > > > > But no one has informed Haitians who or what was on board. Even the members of Haiti’s new transitional government told me that they did not know precisely what the United States was flying into the country. Although the Haitian members of the presidential council have met with Kenyan and Haitian officials to discuss the force, they said they have not provided input to U.S. officials. Aides to newly installed Prime Minister Garry Conille confirmed that he has had no say on decisions related to the mission. It remains unclear what the force’s specific goals are or how it can contribute to rebuilding the Haitian state.

When I select the cross post option everything looks as normal. When I select the community I want to cross post to, all information in fields above drop-down is deleted. Tried copying the URL and re-pasting in the url field but the system refuses to generate the title after selecting the "generate title" option that is offered.

Narrow decision says lower court failed to identify ‘fundamental right to vote’, drawing fiery dissent from three of seven justices

> In a bizarre mixed ruling combining several challenges to a 2021 election law, Kansas’s supreme court has ruled that its residents have no right to vote enshrined in the state’s constitution. > > The opinion centering on a ballot signature-verification measure elicited fiery dissent from three of the court’s seven justices. But the majority held that the court failed to identify a “fundamental right to vote” within the state. > > The measure in question requires election officials to match the signatures on advance mail ballots to a person’s voter registration record. The state supreme court reversed a lower court’s dismissal of a lawsuit that challenged that. The majority of justices on the state supreme court then rejected arguments from voting rights groups that the measure violates state constitutional voting rights. > > … > > Justice Eric Rosen, one of the three who dissented, wrote: “It staggers my imagination to conclude Kansas citizens have no fundamental right to vote under their state constitution. > > “I cannot and will not condone this betrayal of our constitutional duty to safeguard the foundational rights of Kansans.”

I'm getting into figure building and I was wondering if there is a "clip" style light that I could attach to the arm of my glasses so that I can more directly illuminate my work space?

It's nice to dream up fun ideas though!
Ive noticed many lore videos on youtube have become "read a bunch if info" but as it was info I didn't know of (I barely remembered lannete in the first place and hadn't heard of many of the others) it's good enough, plenty of room for my mind to fill and expand on the info given. I have yet to see a "pc storage" company in pokemon so this allows for some fun implications
