The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Focus on the war centers on oil disruption, but LNG faces a parallel risk. Taiwan relies on LNG shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz to power semiconductor production. Any disruption could threaten global supply chains and drive higher prices for electronics worldwide.

Detention centers are a business model. If undocumented immigrants aren’t enough to keep the beds full, the net just gets wider. First β€œillegals,” then visa holders, then naturalized & green cards holders Supply has to match the contracts. That’s how the system keeps itself fed.

Whoa! I remember the gas lines and red flags at stations in the 1970's. These numbers are crazy bad.

Americans are already struggling to pay more from Trump’s tariffs on food and goods. Now his war with Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz β€” the route for ~20% of the world’s oil β€” sending fuel and shipping costs soaring. Expect higher gas, groceries, flights, and more.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

In 1993 after a divorce our joint credit rating was given to my ex-husband. I could not qualify for a credit card even though I was an Air Firce Officer while he got a $5k limit card. (Why we need the ERA) American Express was the only company to give me a card. I will always carry that Amex card.

Right? When you can't open a bank account, cash a check, get credit, etc., it's incredibly hard to get out of an abusive marriage.

Pretty simple language. Mirrors the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote :
"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

If you're reading my post
The ERA AMENDMENT has been ratified by 38 states.
But THE ARCHIVIST of the UNITED STATES HAS NOT put into law
The ERA AMENDMENT IS NOT OFFICIALLY PART OF THE CONSTITUTION
Hence
Supreme Court ruling or
Action by Congress or
Executive action to the ARCHIVIST

I was on the Virginia team to get this ratified in VA in 2020. It's been 6 years. The archivist must do their job and publish this so it becomes the 28th amendment.

We worked hard to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia, making it the 38th & final state needed enshrine the ERA in the US Constitution. Publish the ratification of the ERA and make it officially the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution.

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

The conditions are horrific. There are no excuses.
The emergency calls from a Texas immigration detention center included repeated suicide attempts by detainees, seizures, injuries from fights and a pregnant woman in pain.

Nurses. Truck drivers. Federal workers. Tech employees. Trump didn’t just kill jobs β€” he gutted the backbone of this country. Healthcare down 28K. Transportation down 11K.

These aren’t numbers.
They’re families who want to be able to provide for their families!

ICE & CBP have been arresting & detaining small children across the country.

This video explores the data from San Diego & through November this administration has arrested at least 21 toddlers under the age of 4 in San Diego.

That's depraved!

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...
