American women friends. Are you aware one of the policies listed in the SAVE Act, the GOP are pushing through, is that women’s birth certificate names must match your current name. All of it. Changed your name when you got married? You won’t be able to vote. Call your Congress members!

This is how they start disappearing American citizens they dislike.

We all need to speak out against the harms this administration is causing—and do everything we can to slow them down. 👏👏

Deporting innocent people to a dark site prison in El Salvador is heinous I’m proud to represent leading conservatives like @judgeluttig.bsky.social, fmr Trump Spec Counsel Ty Cobb, fmr NJ Gov Christie Whitman & 30 others in urging SCOTUS to DENY Trump’s effort to stop court oversight of AEA abuse

@teslatakedown.com I just found out there's a new Tesla Supercharger station going in at a shopping center near me, which has needed EV charging for years, but there are better options! What can we do to protest this?

It should be a major scandal that the Social Security Administration made it harder for parents to register their babies in Maine to punish the President's enemies www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

On Friday, lawyers for Griffin laid out their case for retroactively disqualifying 65,000 ballots, disenfranchising tens of thousands of registered voters and overturning the election results and Riggs’s victory. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A series of emails sent to national parks workers provided instructions on how to describe staff cuts to visitors. They were told to avoid the word “fired” and not blame closures on staffing levels. By @anjeanette-damon.bsky.social

Carefully chosen instance to defy the courts. But if they get away with it, anything goes. apnews.com/article/trum...

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

The Trump admin has quietly terminated a State Department contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of alleged Russian abductions of Ukrainian children—a potential war crime—to law enforcement officials in Europe, two people familiar with the situation tell @newrepublic.com

@alt18f.bsky.social saved taxpayers billions, modernized digital services, and made government work better. 💡Now, DOGE has shut it down—eliminating projects that served voters, refugees, military personnel, and more. Read about 18F’s impact ⬇️ 🔗 www.wethebuilders.org/posts/what-i... #altgov #18f

I don't take a back seat to anyone on the subject of anti-semitism. Jews are being used here as a fig leaf to advance a broader attack on universities and higher learning. Trump wants to bring Universities to heel and obedience. Jews are just a convenient cudgel here and just as disposable.

“The world is on fire. We don’t have time for pettiness. We have to get to work. Now.”

This too.

This is a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment.

"before the first abortion ban went into effect, the rate of sepsis for this patient population was remarkably steady. After the first ban was passed in 2021, it shoots up by more than 50%" @propublica.org's Lizzie Presser on the increased threat of sepsis, post-Roe:

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Voters in Missouri voted for safe, legal reproductive healthcare, and now they will have it. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

It’s like they’ve embedded colonies of termites throughout the entirety of the nation’s governmental infrastructure that are slowly eating away at the supports that make modern life possible for ordinary people. Seems like it’s just a matter of time before the cascading collapses start happening.

Encouraging everyone with every fiber of my being to read this entire substack by @hcrichardson.bsky.social — it is, written in fact without doubt to be read in horror by those of us who believe in the principles and values of the United States of America. 1 of 2 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
