**Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting **
Imagine arriving at your polling place in November only to be turned away because you changed your name when you got married. You’ve voted for 20 years with valid identification. Nothing matters. The SAVE Act passed the House in April, and 69 million American women are about to discover their names don’t match their birth certificates while the deadline to fix the problem has already closed...
Twenty years of voting with valid ID, Social Security records, tax returns, and a mortgage in your name mean nothing when the system decides your marriage certificate makes you unverifiable.
This scenario becomes reality for millions of American women if Republicans deploy the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act in the final weeks before the 2026 midterms.
Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting
The Republican Senate will pass the SAVE Act at the midnight hour before the midterms, and tens of millions of women will discover their names don’t match their birth certificates when fixing the crisis has become impossible.W. A. Lawrence (Glass Empires By W. A. Lawrence)

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE.
He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him.
Don’t let them.

There are comments on PubPeer for publication: MediVerse : Challenges And Development Of Digital Health Transformation Towards Metaverse in Medicine (2022)pubpeer.com
"The toolbox isn’t particularly varied. President Trump is using all the instruments: the reported quotas for ICE arrests; the paramilitary force made up of thugs drunk on their own brutality; the spectacle of random violence, particularly in city streets; the postmortem vilification of the victims. It’s only natural that our brains struggle to find logic in what we are seeing. There is a logic, and this logic has a name. It’s called state terror."

💔Alex J. Pretti💔 age 37, of South #Minneapolis was gunned on in cold blood by #ICE thugs today. He was Brandishing his phone recording 🧊.
No criminal record. Worked for the VA as an ICU nurse. Legal gun owner. Homeowner. Upstanding member of his community. He was a hero in his career, and went out like a hero trying to protect the women the ICE officer pushed down.
A TRUE hero all around, he didn’t deserve this. RIP #AlexPretti

I am taking down the paywall for this one, as I believe it remains relevant as a reflection on the limits of the authoritarian assault – and the need to push back against the idea that America is inevitably and irresistibly marching towards a Trump dictatorship.
This week’s piece:
steady.page/en/democracyameric…
The Limits of Violent Authoritarianism
Trump’s authoritarian desires are boundless. But the past year proves that his ability to impose them on America is not.Steady
The idea that protests and public opinion are meaningless in the face of the Trumpist assault, that authoritarian regimes are impervious to public pressure, is still widespread.
But it is wrong. And it perpetuates the regime's assertion of inevitability.
traditional mathematical proofs can be hard to reason about. i propose a new method of proof: proof by compiler optimisation.
consider this proof that n * 1 = n and n ^ 0 = 1 for all reasonable values of n.
