  • If this bill passes in the Senate, it would require a license or REAL ID as well as proof of citizenship in order to vote. If your name is different on your license/REAL ID than it is on your birth certificate, you will need to get a passport in order to be eligible to vote. This would disenfranchise an estimated 70 million married and trans people.

    They need 60 votes to pass this in the Senate, which would require all Republicans as well as seven Democrats. Call and message your Senators and tell them to vote NAY on the SAVE Act!

  • Democrats petitioned for protections for people with a name change and Republicans voted against it. If your birth certificate name doesn’t match your ID, you’ll be needing new documentation if you want to vote. Yes, that includes a married surname.

  • You’re right. I misunderstood it as copying the DNA from mammoths, when they were actually editing the mouse DNA to mirror the evolutionary changes that mammoths underwent.

    They have some partial DNA that they’re using to try and recreate woolly mammoth-like creatures. That’s probably what mixed me up. Thanks for the correction!

  • The media is the problem. The geneticists aren’t trying to pass them off as dire wolves. It’s an incredible accomplishment just to successfully get through birth. We can return more recently extinct animals, like the Dodo, with this process. DNA just doesn’t last long enough to clone long extinct species without editing in the missing parts using DNA from a similar species as reference.
