So far......

Thank you for talking about this! It's been largely ignored by media and it's another step in the process of disenfranchising women. It appears that many women don't know about this and will be in for an ugly shock when they show up to vote and aren't allowed to. Another of many fires recently lit.

Did Trump go too far when he used his power to help an influential black man escape criminal justice? Was that too far of a bridge even for conservative Republicans?

The reason they’ve ALWAYS wanted to control women… is rooted in slavery

"GOP Taliban" indeed.

With Republicans, it's always about voter suppression rather than developing popular policies. The silver lining is that the margins are so thin in the House and Senate that the probability of this passing is low. On the remote chance that this passes, then lawyers better be ready to sue.

You're considerably more Optimistic than I. Bt I sure hope you're correct.

The GOP has gradually become more and more anti-women, moving towards, and closer to, Taliban like restrictions on women's rights.

Is that percentage correct? 34% of women do not have a legal name change? My name was legally restored in a divorce decree by a family court judge and my name on my social security card was updated immediately. I find this criminal obstruction of constitutional rights to be a crisis.

No taxation without representation. Mommy doesn't have to feed them anymore, y'know. #GeneralStrike #Boycott.

Love the content, don’t love the title. This isn’t the Taliban. This isn’t Muslims. This isn’t Afghans. These are red blooded American “Christian” men.

“Voter ID laws have a disproportionately negative effect on women. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, one third of all women have citizenship documents that do not identically match their current names primarily because of name changes at marriage. Roughly 90 percent of women who marry…”

If their platform weren't so outwardly oppressive, they wouldn't have to go to such lengths to prevent folks from voting. Nobody wants their 1600s-era feudal ideas.

Fuck the SAVE Act! From the Free Democrats to women, SPEAK UP, STAND UP & SHOW UP to VOTE for your RIGHTS and YOUR FREEDOMS!

No disenfranchised woman should pay income taxes (would be difficult to get away with not paying sales taxes).

phillycheryl.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, that is unbelievably alarming.

laurie4anti-facism.bsky.social•8 days ago

So the women in his cabinet wouldn't be allowed to vote either? Interesting🤔.

durs125.bsky.social•8 days ago

Women who have changed their name for marriage and trans people who changed their names would have to get additional government documents and those documents are not cheap. So only rich women or unmarried women will be able to vote.

jane-7572.bsky.social•7 days ago

I heard a passport is acceptable proof of citizenship. I’m thinking the repugs will drop this bomb, that your legal name must match your birth certificate, about a month before midterms and it will be too late to secure documentation.

durs125.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes that too. It does take at least 2 months to get a passport. But it is $130 to renew a passport (just checked). Pretty sure it was more to get a new passport. Not a small expense for someone making $8/hour.

jane-7572.bsky.social•6 days ago

And $100 just to change the last name on your birth certificate. This is exactly what they are hoping for.

laurie4anti-facism.bsky.social•8 days ago

What a country,huh?

wakerybakery.bsky.social•8 days ago

Have these dipshits not heard of an organization called League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization dedicated to providing information on the candidates and the first thing they are going to do is recommend women when they get married keep their family names, I did that at 36 years old.

Who you vote for is a political choice. But the ability of millions of Americans to register and vote is about something much more important than politics. It’s about fundamental rights. The SAVE Act is about canceling a, perhaps the, most important, fundamental right for millions of Americans.

Opposing The Save Act is something that everyone, regardless of party, should be able to get behind.
Disenfranchising women in massive numbers is the stuff of The Handmaid’s Tale. The time to oppose this bill is now, before it can get further traction.

syc·o·phant | ˈsikəfənt, ˈsikəˌfant |
noun
a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage: because he is high-ranking, he's surrounded by sycophants.

Please don’t “USE” A.I.

It’s really odd to me that You & Louise think it’s just fine to use a Program that Steals Creative People’s Hard Word & spits it up as Soulless Crap.

I can only assume you think it’d be just fine to take all your writing & feed it to an A.I. and spit it out as my own work?

There are a lot of women on the republican side who will be disenfranchised. In a state like Missouri, where they dominate, I think there will be pushback. A minority are handmaidens but most, surprisingly, enjoy the benefits of feminism w/o knowing who did that hard work for them.

albabe.bsky.social•8 days ago

I hope you're correct.

I’m listening to your program on the app. The volume is so low. You can barely hear it. Please have the tech increase the output. Thank you.

Regarding a possible coming recession, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to have the Commerce Department release phony numbers.
