The #SAVEAct , Which Could Stop Millions of #Women From #Voting , Is ‘Dead on Arrival’ in the #Senate | Glamour

After the Republican-led House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act, a #voter registration bill that experts warn could #disenfranchise millions of women across the country, fears began to emerge that it would similarly be approved in the #Senate.

However, according to Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, that’s not happening.

Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦 WILL NOT COMPLY

But the Founders did not foresee the extent to which their system could be compromised by an Executive arrogating power through lies, threats, and intimidation. (To be fair, the system usually worked OK [with several notable exceptions] for nearly 250 years.)

The Germans, however, have seen this movie before. And with that experience, they have elected, in some cases, to restrict #speech #rights for precisely the purpose of never facing that nightmare again. They made this determination as a #democracy in order to preserve democracy.

Freedom of speech was so important to the Founders that it is included in the very First Amendment to the #Constitution. But it wasn't until the 20th century that courts began to create the First Amendment jurisprudence we have today.

In the current climate, everywhere, union membership is more important than ever.

  • Join your local tenants' union
  • Join your workplace union (if you don't have a unionised workplace, join a general workers union as they will still be able to support you)
  • Join your local credit union

🧩 Example: Law as a Natural Transformation

Imagine a 2-functor from:

Category of individual acts and desires (personal logic, rights)

To category of socially accepted actions (legal logic, responsibilities)

Then a natural transformation encodes:

How a society translates individual reasoning into enforceable action.

How law binds or restricts certain inferences while preserving structure (naturality condition).

That is, this commutes if η is natural — that is, doing something and then applying law is the same as applying law first and doing the translated thing.

--- oops, ChatGPT doesn't know about asking for permission vs forgiveness; I mean, it *should* commute, except for that pesky time asymmetry where you can't take back what you did. --- more context is needed ---

This models ethics, cultural norms, or constitutional constraints as natural transformations that preserve reasoning across systems.

This is why we need Judges. It's not an easy job, respect them

"Another one heads to SCOTUS: The Trump administration asked the justices to let Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have access to sensitive Social Security information, escalating a privacy fight that could affect millions of people."
