I went to the Tate Modern yesterday. In the Rothko room with all the Serious Art Connoisseurs there was a ~5 year old kid who walked up to each painting, pointed at it and shouted 'RECTANGLE' at each one in turn, then left the room.

Remember, this is a feature not a bug of bills like this. It's in the SAVE Act, and it's not an accident
As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

This is all To pay for a tax cut for very wealthy people
Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.

He unites other countries against him and divides ours. What a time to be American. 🙄
This is crazy, this is from a hockey game in Montreal, and Québécois people are singing the CANADIAN anthem! The english part too and with their whole chest.
Idk if you realize how insane it is to see Québécois be patriotic about Canada.
