Sounds harmless until you realize how many women legally changed their names. SAVES ACT
They called it a fiscal package. But read the fine print and you’ll find something else entirely: a quiet plan to centralize control, weaken oversight, and hollow out democracy—one line item at a time. This isn’t just legislation. It’s a Trojan horse for an authoritarian future.
They called it a budget bill. True function is cultural: to normalize control through law, to mask exclusion as efficiency, and to embed authoritarianism into the everyday work of governance.

Voter suppression on steroids for women. Check with your secretary of state to see what documents you need. Not all states are the same. A passport would be the preferred documentation. Real ID driver's license may not be enough
If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

“Two of the most beautiful insurrectionary sentences I know:
‘They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds.’

You might ask: how is it possible that Republicans are just rolling over and accepting this?
The answer is that they're terrified of crossing Elon Musk. They think he can kill them in primaries and protect them in general elections.
Beat Brad Schimel in Wisconsin on 4/1, and that starts changing.
So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...
📢 One more time, louder for the people in the back:
Billionaires who will never need to rely on Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security want to cut them to give themselves massive tax breaks.
This isn’t Right vs Left.
This is billionaires vs the rest of us.
This ad by Krisri Noem airs a couple of times on cbs during cbs mornings. She's telling immigrants to go home. At the end 45 gives a salute. It's about as close to a Natzi salute as I've seen. You'd think if he wasn't loyal to Russia, that his administration would avoid this salute. You decide
Republicans can’t pass Trump’s agenda without cutting Medicare or Medicaid —but cutting both is actually part of his Project 2025 agenda.
All so they can give more tax breaks to billionaires and millionaires like themselves.
This is the Trump oligarchy.
