The SAVE Act is the Repulbican legislation attempting to make it much more difficult to legally vote. It will impact republicans, democrats, independents. Especially women. Voter suppression and disenfranchisement in your face. Thanks @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Our new head of DNI supports authoritarianism. But we are worried about DEI.
