The SAVE Act is Christian Nationalism in Action Gendered Burdens and the Right to Vote

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
The SAVE Act is a truly extreme voter suppression bill, but in ways that might surprise you. White Christian Nationalism is driving the bill more than a cynical focus on maximizing GOP vote share. 🧡

Call Your Senator: Stop Anti-Voter Bills Now! Take action with ACLU People Power!

The SAVE America Act and other extreme anti-voter bills are on the move in Congress and must be stopped.

These bills aren't about safeguarding elections β€” they're about silencing voters. Tell your Senator to oppose these attacks on our democracy.

ICE arrested me without cause. What I saw will haunt me forever. | Opinion One ICE agent, apparently referring to Renee Good, said, 'You guys gotta stop obstructing us β€” that's why that lesbian b---- is dead.'

Our constitutional rights haven't changed.

Despite what ICE may claim, we all have the right to record and document ICE activities in public. We're suing.

Although President Trump’s calls to cancel the November elections are alarming, they are ultimately empty threats. The greater danger lies in his campaign to undermine the elections. Since taking office, the Trump administration has tried to rewrite election rules, and gather sensitive voter data.

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Been following this all through 2025. Think of the $$$ not spent by this may people. Some estimate $50 Billion. Probably a combination of people not wanting to come here & less disposable income for others.

Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!

Accusing Trump of β€˜Reckless Violations of the Law,’ Judge Orders Bond Hearings for Detained Immigrants | Common Dreams Federal judge condemns Trump administration's mass deportation campaign as "shameless" and orders bond hearings for detained immigrants.

Carceral systems are designed to dehumanize people and destabilize communities. And justify themselves by telling you to be afraid of who they've already devoured. When these systems are challenged? They push back. They persevere.
