The House has passed the so-called SAVE America Act—a bill that could strip voting access from millions of women. By requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register, this legislation threatens the voting rights of 69 million women who changed their last name after marriage.

Trump’s secret police continue to act with impunity—terrorizing communities, raiding child care programs, kidnapping children from schools, and detaining pregnant and postpartum people in facilities where they’re subjected to extreme medical neglect and mistreatment.

The SAVE Act means:
People scrambling for paperwork.
Married couples being told their names don’t match.
Naturalized citizens being made to feel like their citizenship is always up for question.
Call your representative and tell them the SAVE Act is voter suppression.

Thank you, @murray.senate.gov, for opposing Justin Olson.
This is why we need to pay close attention to the courts. Olson has been confirmed, but there is still time to stop another horrible judicial appointment.

🚨Throughout his career, Justin Olson attacked women, pushing radical beliefs about fetal personhood and undermining our basic rights.
He once preached that "wives are the subjects of their husbands."
Senate Republicans just gave him a lifetime judicial appointment.

The Oscars Forgot Women Filmmakers But We Haven’t: Here Are Six Women-Directed Movies That Speak to This Moment
Fortunately, women filmmakers exist whether the Academy recognizes them or not. And last year’s crop of women-directed films was especially resonant for the current moment—speaking to maternal isolation, impossible beauty standards, deeply entrenched misogyny, and of course, entitled white men.

"The SAVE Act isn’t about election integrity; it’s about making it harder for specific groups of people to vote, like women & trans people. It’s voter suppression that perpetuates anti-immigrant misinformation."
How the SAVE Act Could Disenfranchise Millions of Married Women and Trans Voters - National Women's Law Center
The SAVE Act (H.R. 22) is a dangerous and anti-democratic bill that would make it significantly harder for millions of U.S. citizens to vote. The bill was first introduced in response to the repeatedly debunked claims that people who were not U.S. citizens voted in the 2024 elections. Now the House of Representatives is expected […]

BREAKING: The Senate has blocked a bill that would have rubber‑stamped ICE’s budget without any real, enforceable reforms.
This happened because massive waves of people raised their voices and demanded that our Senators vote no. Today is proof that collective action works.
