Hey, America! Tired of voting? The GOP's SAVE Act is for you.
In an eye-opening new CAP report, @gbedekovics.bsky.social & @sydkneeb.bsky.social show how the bill would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Hit hardest would be 69 million (largely Republican!) women who took their spouses' names.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens

Since a white man with a felony conviction is about to *be* president, I wrote about the millions of disproportionately Black people with felony convictions who aren't even legally permitted to *vote* for president

Junior & Charlie Kirk rounding up a few homeless people in Greenland and offering them a free lunch to put on MAGA hats to say how much they want the US to take over their country was right out of a Borat movie. Unbelievable.

If you were born in the US after WW2, you have benefited from 3 of the biggest life advantages in human history:

2. Easy access to vaccines & antibiotics.
3. NATO keeping WW3 from breaking out.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.
You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.
See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.
