Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

A bright yellow bird with black wings, facing left with it's back to the camera, clings to a dried out cattail blossom between green fronds. The background is a dull, dark green.

These industrious creatures do more to create habitats for others to live in than Humans.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideView — birds that are side on to the camera. The Alt theme is #Yellow — any bird with Yellow in its plumage. Here's a twofer.

A little egret stands side-on in bright sunlight, its pure white plumage glowing against a dark blue water background. The bird’s long black bill points forward and its pale yellow eye is sharp and very alert. Fine, delicate feathers cascade down its back, and thin black legs are partly hidden among green grass at the water’s edge.

A U.S. scholarship thrills a teacher in India. Then came the soul-crushing questions She was thrilled to become the first teacher from a government-sponsored school in India to get a Fulbright exchange award to learn from U.S. schools. People asked two questions that clouded her joy.

Donald Trump has learned nothing from decades of endless war.

I went to war three times for this country. Working class folks will pay the price of his military adventurism.

Americans are sick of it. I’m sick of it.
