  • I tried making lists. I found out that I never completely finished them. I ended up adding the unfinished items onto next day’s list. Is that a good or bad thing? I decided it was a bad idea. It would lead you to believe you couldn’t complete your tasks. Just do what you can remember.… Read more

  • Trump and GOP playbook on Voter Suppression! A NEW ERA OF VOTER SCRUTINY: S.A.V.E. The SAVE Act, passed by the House in 2026, would demand documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and a government-issued photo ID is needed to vote. Still, the Act remains stalled in the Senate. Overview The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, introduced as H.R. 22 in the 119th Congress, aims to ensure that only U.S. citizens can register to vote in federal elections. They must present documentary proof of citizenship. This proof includes a passport, birth certificate, and a naturalization certificate. It can also be a REAL ID-compliant ID indicating citizenship. Most state-issued IDs do not explicitly mark citizenship. The bill also mandates a government-issued photo ID for in-person voting and absentee ballot submissions.  Legislative Status The SAVE Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives in February 2026 with a narrow vote (218-213).  It faces strong opposition in the Senate. Leaders have described it as “dead on arrival” due to procedural hurdles. These hurdles include the 60-vote threshold required to advance legislation. Earlier versions of the bill failed to pass the Senate, and there is no clear path for enactment in 2026.  PBS+3 Who Would Be Affected The bill could significantly impact voters who lack ready access to citizenship documents, including: Legal and Practical Implications Controversy and Criticism Critics argue the SAVE Act is a voter suppression measure. They believe it is not an election security bill. This is because instances of noncitizen voting are extremely rare. Human Rights Watch and the Brennan Center for Justice warn that the act could disproportionately affect people of color. It may also impact low-income voters. Additionally, it can affect women. Supporters, including House Republicans and former President Trump, claim it ensures election integrity by preventing noncitizen voting.  Current Advice for Voters… Read more

  • Bullies—especially authoritarian-leaning leaders—don’t cling to power because they’re strong. They cling because they’re afraid. A few things usually collide at once: 1.

Violence (verbal, institutional, or physical) becomes a last-ditch… Read more
