Think about students, renters, women who changed their names, and rural voters without easy access to records. The SAVE Act makes them prove citizenship with specific documents or lose their voice. The people already on the margins get pushed out completely.

In 1997 I was in an IRC group, (Internet Relay Chat,) centered upon participant’s ardor for the late, great Jeff Buckley. My handle was “LYSHCO,” for Lover You Should’ve Come Over.

I went to a private Christian HS some 40 years ago. While my grad class was only 90 people, I can’t think of one who today is a liberal or in any way aligned with me. I changed. They stayed the same

You voted for Trump because you said you wanted a president who would run the country like a business. You got what you voted for. It is as though his philosophy is I won. Twice. To the Victor go the spoils.

Representative democracy only works if we elect people not to power, but to service. We’ve spent too many elections letting the rich buy their preferred representatives instead of choosing those willing to serve something bigger than their personal interests.
