Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Today I did a cyber security panel taping for @onwithkaraswisher.bsky.social and @avindman.bsky.social and I discussed the attack we both get from Musk online (his are worse than mine). Both of us ignore it and this epic quote explains why.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.
I'm trying to save them.
You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.
