The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.

This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

They may think they are being smart, believing a depressed populace won’t rise up. But they’ve forgotten about those of us with anxiety. If they take my Lexapro, I will absolutely burn this place down.

I joke because I have to, but this is sick and cruel stuff.

There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws.

In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

Trump & Musk have somehow managed to frame recent events as a binary: Either you want to burn it all down, or you support the status quo

Opinion | The GOP has somehow backed Democrats into defending the status quo
It’s not enough to oppose Trump’s destruction. Americans want change.

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena.

I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania.
