The SAVE act also forces states to submit their voter registration lists to the DHS! I know we’ve been focused on voter ID but that’s only the tip of the iceberg !

MSP certainly gets the headlines, but we can't turn a blind eye to all the other places around the country getting abused right now.
He’s also doing this in Memphis…no one is reporting on it

There were a couple themes of the 2024 election but one was a declaration of war on American cities by American rural/exurban voters

I’m as human as anyone…I love, I get scared. I wake up every morning…I try to make the best choices I can. I screw up all the time, but that is being human, and that’s my greatest strength.

Brooke Rollins was on Fox News talking about how the school lunch system needs to fundamentally change to go back to serving whole healthy foods. What an excellent idea. It was excellent when Michelle Obama had it and republicans ripped it apart while denying children vouchers.

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Y’all… this isn’t just happening in Minneapolis. This is also happening in Memphis. The media isn’t talking about it because nobody cares about Memphis or other parts of the country right now.

I never knew that Veruca Salt grew up and changed her name to Pam Bondi! Never in the history of America has an Attorney General behaved in such a juvenile and repulsive way on their testimony. Truly representative of the Donald Trump administration. Another sad day for the United States of America.

This is Flambo. He's using his talking dog buttons to accuse his small foster brother of being a cat. Nothing can convince him otherwise. 13/10 for both (IG: flambothedog)

Remove her from office and hold her in contempt
wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

Make Racists Afraid Again
Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...
Hating the Game
The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

I got a song filled with sh- for the strong-willed
When the world gives you a raw deal
Sets you off 'til you scream, "Piss off! Screw you!"
When it talks to you like you don't belong
Or tells you you're in the wrong field
They’re gonna taste my venom

My god I miss having a decent human being as a president
“People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”
You can always count on @barackobama.bsky.social to give us an honest #CupOfJoe. I miss that.
The world is watching, & and the straws are adding up.

Nobody really talks about the physical toll grief can take on your body.
I’m currently experiencing all of the physical symptoms of grief except for the heart issues.
I’m on medication for my anxiety and for my panic attacks. So I don’t feel the full effects of a fight or flight experience. 🧵
