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! 48830393

It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all. 10215588217482

Ellen M. Gregg @ellenmgregg.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I'm angry with my two senators for NH. It feels like even more of a betrayal with Shaheen, given that she isn't seeking reelection. What did she have to lose, apart from the respect of her constituents? 011

Writing from those trenches and acknowledging it's a process of progress over perfection. Bless us all. 🙌🏻 010

Ellen M. Gregg @ellenmgregg.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Today's most important tasks: 1. Making my sister's birthday cake. (I only make it for her. It's very labor-intensive.) 2. Making a secondary dessert for those who aren't into the intensely chocolate birthday cake. Cooking from the heart is more meaningful than ever in this bizarre time. 010
