The Save Act …


It reads as if Elon Musk is urging the Senate to pass the Save Act asap … Women, we can’t allow this obstacle, human barrier, or the USPS changes to stop the most powerful weapon that we have … The Right to Vote!

Unfortunately, the trump Trifecta Government passed the Save Act, and there might be some hidden features to this that need to be fact-checked

creedal ~~ creedalism


If America is truly defined by universal principles — liberty, equality, autonomy — then restricting rights for Women and Black Americans undermines the very creed being invoked.

I am asking and saying:

If America is truly creedal, then the creed must apply equally — and current legal and political actions often undermine that.

Many scholars argue that the “creedal” narrative can be used to mask unequal treatment by pretending the playing field is already level.

Me and AI

1914 – The U.S. Congress passed a Joint Resolution that designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.


On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issues a presidential proclamation that officially establishes the first national Mother’s Day holiday to celebrate America’s mothers.

The idea for a “Mother’s Day” is credited by some to Julia Ward Howe (1872) and by others to Anna Jarvis (1907), who both suggested a holiday dedicated to a day of peace. Many individual states celebrated Mother’s Day by 1911, but it was not until Wilson lobbied Congress in 1914 that Mother’s Day was officially set on the second Sunday of every May. In his first Mother’s Day proclamation, Wilson stated that the holiday offered a chance to “[publicly express] our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.”
