Our voter hotline exists to answer questions that cannot be easily answered online. The hotline is monitored by DNC employees who are prepared to field questions pertaining to felon disenfranchisement, voter purging, poll worker misconduct, voter machines, and accessibility. The hotline regularly operates on weekdays from 9:00am-6:00pm EST/EDT, and expands to both weekdays and weekends from 9:00am-9:00pm EST/EDT starting in October during election years.

The Shamima Begum ruling proves it: some UK citizens are less equal than others in c/worldnews@lemmy.world

The issue is that this punishment establishes two classes of people. Those who can lose their citizenship because they can theoretically get another somewhere and those who cant.

Imagine if this child was born in the UK to British parents and has no other possible nationalities, what then?

When a country grants citizenship they should not be allowed to revoke it unless it was obtained fraudulently. Revoking citizenship should never be used as a form of punishment.
