The SAVE Act transforms ordinary documentation inconsistencies that name changes create into systematic barriers to the ballot box. Millions of women now face impossible bureaucratic mazes to exercise their constitutional rights. This isn't election security-it's gender-based voter suppression.
Introducing 250 to 250: A series of one-minute stories of the many people, places, and events that have built our country and remind us of the power of each person to make history. #WeAreAmerica250
1/ They spent billions on ads. They flood the airwaves, the feeds, and the inboxes. But there is one place they cannot reach: the last mile. The final conversation. The one between you and someone you actually know. That mile is ours, if we travel it. 🧵 #DV1#ProudBlue#Voices4Victory#USDemocracy
Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing
At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days
At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months
Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the regime’s spine, and women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive. From DC to Tennessee, we’re feeding neighbors, flipping districts, and breaking their script. Hell no.
US flags half staff?
One was a social media influencer, right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, media personality,
and of the male persuasion
earning $325K annually from TPUSA & related orgs;
the other, a US soldier, on duty & executed in our capital, earning :$2k monthly & decidely FEMALE.
Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, there is an instantaneous order from 🍊💩 for US flags half staff but when a National Guardsman who was illegally ordered to DC dies from being shot, there is no such order? Abysmal but yet not shocking. Ask your military friends and family how they feel about this.
"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."
Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

URGENT! PLEASE WATCH AND REPOST.
The esteemed Constitutional scholar and former Federal prosecutor speaks to our country's current dire position with the current regime and SCOTUS.

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?
TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.
Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.
Millions of kids depend on SNAP to eat. When Republicans endanger these benefits, they’re endangering children.
Cutting SNAP isn’t fiscal policy, it’s cruelty.

In November there will be 42 million Americans who will not have a way to buy groceries due to SNAP benefits getting suspended. Yet, Argentina gets $40 billion from the United States 🤬
The Middle East is being conned just like America has been conned.
None of what Trump is saying about the Israel-Gaza war being over is true.
None of the agreements he claims have been made have been made, besides a single hostage deal.
He’s lying to the world, and much of the world believes him.
CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax
This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
That was wonderful of you to share. I put your tweet in a meme so you can share it all in one post if you wish. I hope you'll share it often because it's true & terrifying, but important.
