The near-total absence of spatial awareness in outdoor spaces is one of those things that would make me furious if it didn't amaze me. People walk around as if no one or nothing else exists. Maybe it's the phones. I don't know.
This reminds me of GCSE Chemistry, which I was so bad at that I just mimed doing the experiments (made sure I looked meaningfully busy whenever the teacher walked round) and made up plausible-sounding results and data - but my presentation was always impeccable. I got a B in the end.
The SAVE Act would require every American citizen to show a passport or birth certificate and government ID to vote.

69 MILLION women do not have a valid birth certificate due to surname changes.
The SAVE Act is an anti-voter bill.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.
