Affidavit Bowie @affidavitbowie.bsky.social · 11/10/2026If the 3 options are: govt stops barbarism, govt does barbarism in the open, or govt does barbarism in the dark, option 2 is the most likely to lead to option 1. The more we let the government hide the things we find abhorrent the longer it will go on. 020

Affidavit Bowie @affidavitbowie.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It is really frustrating to see people demand we don't do a thing that will make it more evident that the death penalty is inhumane. The state is going to do a murder, we should not demand the state avoid publicizing that the death penalty is evil and abhorrent! 000
Affidavit Bowie @affidavitbowie.bsky.social · 10/10/2026If you think the state shouldn't murder people, the best way to get to that outcome is not [let the state keep murdering people quietly]. The best way to end this barbarism is to make it more evidently barbaric until voters demand that it stops. 100
Affidavit Bowie @affidavitbowie.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The live streamed state sponsored murder is actually not worse than every other state sponsored murder, and the more people see what the state is doing in their name, the less likely the state is to do vile monstrous things. 100

Affidavit Bowie @affidavitbowie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There is no provision against “mass changes” and using that language is misleading. There is currently nothing preventing DHS from allowing CSV import of voter data for SAVE portal searching. That would be “individualized determinations” according to SCOTUS. 020
Affidavit Bowie @affidavitbowie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There is no distinction between “database of people we think died” and “database of people we think are not citizens” for these purposes. The SAVE portal requiring 1 person per search (as far as we know) is as systematic as any database call, there’s just a person pressing copy, paste, and enter. 110
Affidavit Bowie @affidavitbowie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is incorrect. NVRA says no “systematic” removal, but for removals at the request of the voter (3A); for criminal conviction or incapacity (3B); or death (4A). Those are all just as individualized as the SAVE removals purport to be! 110
