The House is set to take up the SAVE Act this week, which would make voting significantly more difficult for millions of people.
Tell your representative to vote NO now.

Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov for standing up for the soul of America and for the millions of Americans who feel lost, distraught, disgusted, fearful, and uncertain under the current administration. We need many more democratic leaders like you!

I used to read dystopian novels and imagine what it would be like to live in societies that strip people of their rights for a “greater good,” where the government has unchecked power to harm its people,

Today, all staff at the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) were placed on administrative leave, raising questions about how the agency will disperse congressionally appropriated funds to museums and libraries across the US.

This, among a wide swath of other events recently, is deeply unsettling. The decisions of our government are hurting its own people as well as millions of others around the world AND it is making enemies out of friends. It’s truly unbelievable what is happening to our country.

Currently reading “The Perfect Wife,” a psychological thriller by Blake Pierce. Read half of it in a day and I’ve really been enjoying the twists and turns. Anybody read this book or author before?

I’m not ignoring what’s going on by not posting, it’s just that there is such an overload of horrendous new headlines every moment of every day… it’s actually unbelievable that this is the reality we find ourselves in. It’s absolutely soul crushing.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

They…turned off…National Institutes of Health grants? That’s nearly $50 billion of scientific research.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

What good is “cheaper groceries” if the Earth is destroyed and the middle class is exploited for the benefit of the wealthiest individuals in the country? #resist
i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated
