We should all be taking action against this
The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.
The Christian Nationalist Plot to Disenfranchise Women Voters
The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."
My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.

Here’s an excellent old school video on how to establish a relationship with your elected officials & lobby them more effectively.* In my four decades in Washington, this is the best “how to” lobbying video I’ve ever seen. I’ve used it to train activists across the country.

Calling your reps is only the 1st step. This excellent old Amnesty International advocacy video gives very practical next steps for turning that call into a relationship. It also offers great tips on how to keep the pressure up until you get what you want. This should be mandatory for civics class.

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...
![Musk: Well, President, uh, President Milei has a gift for me.
Schmitt: [hamming at camera] Javier Milei from Argentina, you guys know who that is, right?
Milei, a friendly-looking figure who resembles Bilbo Baggins right before he Smeagolifies, enters the stage carrying a chainsaw. He presents the chainsaw to the billionaire, who then waves it around unsteadily.
Musk: This… is… the chainsaw for bureaucracy. [pumps the chainsaw in the air] CHAINSAAAW!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4t2ziwnnescprzorvmrfduey/bafkreiaq5wpff25isb2ylypajpm57h5xlpb7ms6ws4fghayhnge2wqqbom@jpeg)

This is terrifying. For the first time, I’ve really had to start wondering if my family needs an escape plan.
RFK's not-so-veiled threat to take mental health drugs away is even worse than it looks at first blush.
He wants to replace these medications with labor camps.
This fits with the larger, eugenics-informed Trump/Musk agenda.

I know that there are and have been lots of conversations around the topic of YA ages for years. Lots of points of view. I just want teen books to be for teens. And to cover the full spectrum from 13 to 18.
