@podsaveamerica.crooked.com @danpfeiffer.bsky.social @jonfavs.bsky.social FYI - the SAVE Act is unconstitutional. Amendment 24, prohibits Congress & the states from requiring the payment of a poll tax/other tax to vote in federal elections. Having to purchase a passport in order to vote is illegal.

Once I went to San Francisco Emergency Room. 1982. Not a local resident. Couldn't find parking without a meter. I was bleeding. I parked by a meter & walked in. I was treated & diagnosed with a very serious, life-threatening condition. They let me go home after 8 hrs. Found a $40 parking ticket.

San Francisco Mayor Lurie would never. Lurie is forcing a severe austerity budget that will defund services for the most vulnerable people, terminate hundreds of gov workers, and cut taxes on big businesses. Call it Cruel Capitalism or Secret Republicanism. It is government that harms people.
