Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

This isn't policy; it's punishment. Punishment for women who dared to get married and change their names. The SAVE Act is a disgraceful, transparent attempt to strip women of their power. #HandsOffHerVote

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Another painting by Epstein network survivor Maria Farmer. Why are they redacting her paintings?
She sent these to the FBI, pleading for help to stay safe.

Think proving citizenship is simple?
Ask any of the 21M+ married women if her birth name does not match her current name.
No match. No vote. This is voter supression.

Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl wasn’t just a performance... it was a cultural shift. Benito shouting “God bless America” while naming countries across the Americas, flags flying behind him, was a reminder... culture isn’t owned. It’s shared. It’s multilingual. It's impossible to ignore.
