Remember when we warned that SAVE Act would create unnecessary barriers for eligible voters?

The response was always the same:

“Just get the paperwork.”

Well, Florida is showing us what “just get the paperwork” actually looks like.

A Florida woman and Army veteran found that out when she ran into problems getting a REAL ID because she couldn’t produce a marriage record from 50 years ago to connect her name history.

Think about that. A citizen and Army veteran stuck because one old document was missing. Now expand that across the country. Millions upon millions of Americans have identity histories that don’t fit into one perfect government record. Marriage, adoption, divorce, immigration, court-ordered name changes, and simple clerical errors all create gaps.

The SAVE Act would add more opportunities for those gaps to become barriers. As is being proven in Florida.

Republicans have been lying to you.

Unbelievable. I've never heard anything like this in my life.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he called off the attacks at Iran because a deal on the Strait of Hormuz is "eminent" and "ultimately the denuclearization"

​Minutes later, Iran's IRGC launched an anti-ship cruise missile at a US-backed oil tanker.

You can't Truth Social your way out of hostile missile fire. Trump’s endless bluffing is making America look weaker and more humiliated by the hour.

Cet automne, pour la première fois depuis 250 ans, ma famille ne récoltera pas d'olives au Liban.

Nos 600 oliviers ont été arrachés du sol par l'armée israélienne, racines comprises, et emportés. Les plus vieux avaient 500 ans !

Cette terre, mon grand-père la tenait de son arrière-grand-père. En deux siècles et demi, ma famille a acheté de la terre. Elle n'en a jamais vendu un mètre, pas un seul jour. Chez nous, on ne construit pas sur la terre. On y plante. Ces arbres ont survécu à plusieurs guerres. Ils ont survécu à tout.

Regardez les deux photos. À gauche, notre terre le 25 juin, la veille de la signature de l'accord entre le Liban et Israël. À droite, la même terre le 20 juillet.

Il ne reste rien. Et c’est justement ça, la preuve. Un incendie laisse des troncs noirs debout. Une frappe laisse des cratères. Ici, pas un tronc calciné, pas une souche, pas un débris. Une terre nue, raclée, griffée par les chenilles des engins. Déterrer un olivier de 500 ans sans le tuer demande des pelleteuses, un savoir-faire, des camions et une destination. Ce n’est pas un dégât de guerre. C’est une opération, sur une terre où il n’y avait ni armes, ni combattants, ni présence militaire. Ma famille n'a jamais été liée de près ou de loin au Hezbollah, et elle ne le sera jamais. Il n'y avait que des arbres, et des gens qui les taillent depuis huit générations.

D'après les témoignages qui nous parviennent, ces arbres auraient été emportés de l'autre côté de la frontière, vers Israël.

L'accord signé entre le Liban et Israël, censé préparer la paix, protège les biens des civils. Je demande simplement qu'il soit appliqué : que le sort des arbres déterrés soit établi, que ceux qui sont encore vivants soient rendus. Si nos arbres sont vivants quelque part, ils peuvent revenir. Je ne cherche pas une vengeance. Je cherche une adresse !

J'ai hésité à écrire ces lignes, pour ne pas provoquer des réactions d'un côté comme de l'autre. Mais je refuse de faire le deuil de ces oliviers. Dans ces arbres vit l'âme de mon grand-père, ancien général de la police libanaise, un homme qui a toujours cru dans la paix, dans les humains et dans la lumière. Il taillait ces arbres à mains nues. Il répétait : “on ne vend pas la terre, on la transmet”
Je lui dois de ne pas me taire.

So according to Trump the Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016 (letting him win) then somehow rigged the election in 2020 (while Trump was in power) and then completely forgot to rig it in 2024 (letting him win again). Do I got that right you silly MAGA dipshits?

ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges.

This is fascism.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq.

Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell.

No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone.

A Texas woman got an abortion. So Texas police used 83,000 Flock cameras to track her down. 83 THOUSAND!! They aren't using these cameras to track down rapists, pedophiles, or traffickers. They're not using them to find your missing children. They're using them to throw women in jail for making choices about their own bodies, with OUR tax dollars.

"Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016.

When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024.

But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

Did you catch this? Last week, U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn told a Memphis reporter that the $30 million state incentives package for Starbucks would be recouped in six months through payroll taxes.
FACT CHECK: Tennessee does NOT have payroll/income taxes.

The craziest thing about Vivek Ramaswamy is that he’s trying to win a state where he constantly disrespects its people and way of life.

Moves his business and its jobs from Ohio to Texas.

Calls us lazy and mediocre.

Says we’re not working hard enough and that affordability is a “buzzword.”

Spends our nation’s 250th in Paris and Geneva…not Ohio, but Europe.

Looks down on us from his fancy private plane.

Wants to cut Medicaid and Medicare — core healthcare services millions of Ohioans rely on.

Wants to axe colleges and universities that educate so many Ohioans.

Takes millions from a billionaire who wants to gut schools that anchor communities across Ohio.

Won’t protect our parks and farmland.

Wants to eliminate unions he doesn’t like.

Tried to celebrate with the NY team that beat the Cavs.

Opposes contraception and reproductive freedom even when 57% of Ohioans voted to protect both.

Insults victims as a slogan.

On and on and on.

Why should Ohio like this guy when he doesn’t even like us?

36 Republicans in Oklahoma voted against ending child marriages.

This is not a joke or satire.

Listen to Rep JJ Humphry give his reasons why child marriage should exist in Oklahoma.

These people should be out on a government watch list.

No living calves born. All stillborn calves, since d[ata] centers were built near the land of farmers. The noise coming from them, are causing stillbirths. If these are the effects these centers have on mammals, what are they doing to pregnant human mothers

This is absolutely evil. There is no other word. No one has the right to force another person to have a child, let alone a LITERAL CHILD HAVING A CHILD. The people responsible for creating and enforcing these laws are mentally ill if they believe this is the right thing to do.
