The U.S. (#US #USA) #Endangered #Species #Act, #ESA, is endangered! Taking #habitats out of the equation would have devastating consequences. #Help #save the 40-year old #legislation, and urge the federal government to continue to consider harms to habitats within the range of possible harms to species, by commenting on the proposed change (anonymously if you prefer). Nothing less than #lives, #biodiversity, #life, and our common #home, #planet #Earth, are at stake.

It has, it is. Its huge, multiple stories on multiple non linux sites saying:

"NO NO NO, don't throw out"expiring" Windows 10 laptops and PCs !!"

Its not tens of thousands of computers MS is abandoning, its millions.

Don't throw out a Windows 10 computer, easily make a Mars Rover Level Modern Computer. To use, or share, or give away.

Install Linux

The proposed
Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or #SAVE #Act,
now considered a priority for Republicans in the House,
will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.
The SAVE Act would require documentation, such as a passport or birth certificate matching your current legal name to allow a person to register to vote.
These requirements would pose a challenge to broad swaths of the country, but would fall especially hard on women.
Eight in 10 married women in opposite-sex marriages took their spouse’s last name,
and the bill could exclude over 69 millionmarried American women whose names do not match their birth certificate.
One Brennan Center for Justice study found that one third of American women do not have access to any documents with their current legal name.
About half of Americans do not have a passport, a costly process that adds a financial burden for those who have had any name change throughout their lives.

The SAVE Act pretends to create guardrails against noncitizen voter fraud -- a vanishingly small problem that the nonpartisan Brennan Center found in only 0.0001 percent of jurisdictions surveyed after the 2016 election.
Even The Heritage Foundation, which promotes the phantom crisis of noncitizen voting and Donald Trump’s lie that Democrats were purposely letting migrants into the country so they could vote,
can’t fudge the numbers to back up its claims.
The Heritage Foundation has tracked election fraud cases for decades,
finding only 85 cases of alleged noncitizen voting between 2002–2023.

The SAVE Act is also unnecessary as it is already quite illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.
So the law, which won’t help solve an already nearly nonexistent problem, makes very little sense
—unless, of course, disenfranchising millions of women is the point.

Are you a #woman? Do you marry someone and change your #name? Republicans would like you to know that they don’t think you should be able to vote. If the #SAVE act passes, your driver’s license or REAL ID, isn’t good enough if your name doesn’t match your birth certificate. There are no provisions to allow for legal name changes for any reason, probably to punish trans people. But it means that up to 30% of American women will lose the right to vote with no recourse but legally changing their name back to their birth certificate name. ( Having once changed my name after a divorce, I can tell you that it is an absolute nightmare of bureaucracy. I’m not looking forward to the expense and hassle again.)

The gop hate women, they have always hated women, and why women continue to associate with them has baffled me for many decades.
