Product of Louisiana public education, yet progressive and pro science. I’m also big into cryptography and decided Bitcoin was freedom tech in 2012. It remains a good idea.

Another reason to oppose Trump’s attempt to take over elections through the SAVE Act.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Susan Collins has apparently decided to give Republicans the votes needed to pass the SAVE Act. This is a three-alarm emergency. We must act swiftly.

Tell every Senator right now we absolutely cannot let this pass:
Tell Your Senators: Protect our Democracy, Vote NO on the SAVE Act
Contact Congress today!

Did you see this today?

Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S.
Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis.
Not a flag.
Not a slogan.
The Constitution.
Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

Trump will exploit the death of a Ukrainian girl to bash a US politician, but he doesn’t seem to give a shit about the 15,000 Ukrainian civilians killed and 57,000 injured by his buddy Putin & Russia.
Trump, speaking to troops in North Carolina, is now attacking ex-governor and Democratic Senate candidate Roy Cooper as a "disaster" who was culpable for a woman getting her "throat slit"

(note the total silence from the crowd)

MAGA folks are boycotting Costco and I’m just standing there like, YES. Please. Take your cart full of hate and go complain about free samples somewhere else. I’d like to shop in peace without hearing about your “freedom steaks,” thanks.

Reminder: “The SAVE America Act” is not saving us from anything real — and was born out of the lies of a malignant narcissist who incited an insurrection. 🇺🇸

"More than half the Boone County voters identified as noncitizens were actually citizens."

"DHS has pooled confidential data from across the federal government to enable states to mass-verify voters’ citizenship status using SAVE."

Also relied on by ICE and their facial recognition apps.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.
