Tell us about it. It is terrifying and so FUBAR.

Heads up. Remember the supply chain issues during Covid that led to empty shelves? It is going to be that way for the USA in two weeks. My sister who works for a major US company with products in many big box stores is telling me that they are just about out of product. Time to stock up!
I'm meeting friends tomorrow at a local coffee shop to write our elected reps and vent. I've been doing this once a month. It has been a great way to stay connected with loved ones while putting pressure on politicians. Political activism doesn't need to be boring or painful. Go have fun with it!
The issue is that our drivers' licenses don't explicitly state that we are citizens so those can't be used, and the contents of birth certificates vary state to state so many don't meet the bill requirements. It is not good.
You are an idiot. Read the fucking bill. Our driver licenses don't meet the requirements, they won't accept marriage licenses, and many of our birth certificates also don't meet the requirements laid out in the bill. Grow the fuck up and do the damn research.
Unless some GOP jump ship, the dems don't have the votes to stop it in the senate.
If you have a birth certificate with your current name on it and can match it to another ID, you are fine. It will be a big issue for those who have changed their names since birth.
We CANNOT let this pass the senate. Everyone should be pitchfork LIVID that is is happening. Go save your rights and the rights of the people you love. Call your senators now and tell them DO NOT VOTE FOR THE SAVE ACT. If it passes the senate, we are so fucked. Millions of voters will be purged.
The requirements for deployed families to vote is not just insane. I don't know how they will be able to do it.

This is voter suppression and sets up a poll tax for women whose only option for ID is a passport now. And what if your passport is delayed? Or rejected because you are not white? Both has already happened under this administration.
Because the president is impatient about getting voting results faster, all mail in ballots must be COUNTED by the end of the election day. This greatly shortens the mail-in ballot window.
Millions are expect to be blocked from voting at midterms or not having their ballots count.
People will need to turn up in person at voting locations with their papers to vote, which puts an undue burden on the sick, disabled, and elderly, especially in rural areas. Travel can be difficult, as is standing in long polling lines, but they are also cutting many mail-in ballot features.
REAL IDS in many states do not show proof of American citizenship and cannot be used. Marriage certificates can't be used. Many birth certificates do not meet the strict requirements due to no standardization of information across states. Passports are the only option, but they take time & money.
There was an ammendment proposal to safeguard married women's voting rights whose current last names no longer reflects the name on their birth certificates.
The GOP voted it down.
The bill is inherently sexist, ablist, and classist. The requirements drastically cut Americans' ability to vote.
The SAVE Act just passed the house. This is a dark day for voting rights, especially for married women, the poor, and deployed families abroad. A passport here STARTS at $160, and with DOGE cutting so many services, many wouldn't get their passports in time for the November election. By design.
Holy shit. π³

The GOP cut welfare funding because the poor are lazy, but they also support these tariffs that are tanking our retirement funds, which will require us to need welfare programs when we retire, but we'll be denied access because we didn't pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Did I get that right?
Ah yes, one must never forget the battalions of senior citizens, teachers, healthcare workers,, federal employees, and moms of disabled children in the formidable ranks of the liberal counter insurgency. π
To the millions of people going to one of the many Hands Off 2025 events tomorrow: May you have a safe, peaceful, and successful protest!
TikTok is going belly up on Saturday in the US unless a miracle occurs. Where is the #resist crowd migrating to? I feel like I'm playing social media musical chairs these days.
Our media isn't covering the resistance here, but it is loud and ongoing. Protests & marches every week. This weekend is going to be the biggest protest we have had so far. I don't know if the world will see it. The site is handsoff2025.com . There are so, so many registered cities!
This is some dictator shit. I am so livid at how his regime is going after students. Freedom of speech is protected in our constitution. What the Tangerine Dictator is doing is illegal but no one is physically stopping him or his gestapo...I mean ICE.
Cory Booker is a goddamn hero.π
This.π
This is my house rep. He wants to enshrine Felon 47 as a dictator. Please call, write, or visit your house reps and tell them to vote NO on the No Rogue Rulings Act. It eliminates the federal powers of judges who rule against the regime so no one can keep it in check.
