Some 21 million Americans don’t have ready access to a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers. And the SAVE Act would require these documents to register to vote.
SAVE Act Would Undermine Voter Registration for All Americans
Congress should reject this antidemocratic and ill-conceived bill.

That Jack Daniels parent company has pulled out of @hrc.org's annual Corporate Equality Index is a reason every #LGBTQ Bar, Pride, festival, event should boycott Jack Daniels/Brown Forman Corp products

The goal: To replace democratic structures with Elon AI government.

Expect significant turbulence and "bursts of authoritarianism," he warns.

In 2022, Peter Thiel's "house philosopher" envisioned a second Trump administration led by a "CEO" who would be tasked with destroying the government.

He wrote down a blueprint. Welcome to the New Reality.

Although the federal courts have blocked Trump's efforts to destroy birthright citizenship for millions of Americans, his campaign to harass & vilify immigrants continues. Immigrant families should know their rights.

The kid was so racist that Trump fired him. But not too racist for the real president.

What if you bring a court order to Trump, and say, hey you can go on tv and take credit for “allowing” us in the buildings?

(even though we can do so ourselves with a court order.)

What can be used as leverage on musk?

trump, its maga base opinion

Most of the time begins via the influential podcasters.

But other than podcasters, what else can we do to create leverage and n musk?
February 7, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Courageous and pragmatic.

Who are the security? lets see how they deal with the peer pressure of the entire pro democracy world judging them. Will they be able to live without society accepting them?

I doubt they can handle it.
They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.
February 7, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Well done, i think the suddenly

famous security face pressure

theyve never experienced and will be unable to handle,

Millions of americans and people around the world, who will find out who they are and put tremendous pressure to step aside,

peer pressure works
