This is the plan nationally. He as much said so on the campaign trail.

It’s like no one read Project 2025

Women should stop taking their husband’s last name. It won’t help today, but probably a good practice going forward given the rights of women being slashed.

Project 2025 wants to make it harder (especially for women) to get divorced, so the ultimate solution may have to be not getting married in the first place.

💯 %

They are trying to disenfranchise every non-White, non-male person. Their attacks on our voting rights & our privacy rights all point in one direction: we're in an autocratic oligarchy already. youtu.be/i9If_4f_604

Attn. brides to be. Keep your name.

SAVE Act precursor….

They want to disenfranchise women. Get your passports people

I fully anticipate that if women choose not to change their names with marriage, Maga men will find a way to use that to refuse parental rights and property rights during separation/divorce proceedings.

Always is. People without conscience

Under his eye.

That gave me a chill

I don’t understand this. We legally changed our name after we got married, received social security card with correct name and a drivers license with our legal name, what do they want?

Total subservient slaves

Propaganda has convinced a far too many women that 'feminism' is a dirty word. In rural areas, right-wing Christians have brought back Taliban levels of patriarchy. Women in those communities believe themselves to be 2nd class citizens. The world needs feminism. www.audible.com/pd/B077GYYV5...

For you to carry around your ownership papers for the rest of your life. If I had to do it again, I would not change my name when I got married.

Same, it’s my biggest regret. I also tell allllll my girlfriend’s that are getting married that I advise against it. Like I know you want to be “The Miller’s” or whatever but it’s not worth it.

And in the US it's going to get even worse the way repugs think women should be property of the state.

If it isn't necessary for men to change their names when they marry, why should women? For a time, many couples were hyphenating their names, but that's clunky. Women, just keep your name. You don't need to change it. Nothing bad will happen if you don't. But you might lose your rights if you do.

Me neither.

Get a REAL ID or enhanced driver's license. A birth certificate and a marriage license (for those who are married) are required to get one, so it should satisfy any proof of identity requirement for voting.

I have mine, but they make it sound like it’s not enough.

Real ID is not sufficient. A passport is supposed to be, but don't hold your breath.

That’s how I was reading it too.

It should be sufficient since a birth certificate shows where you were born, proof of age, and your name at birth, and a marriage certificate shows when you were married and also requires a birth certificate or passport. I'm not aware of any other documents that prove who a person is.

Keep your maiden name along with your married name just hyphenated that's what they need to do now is hyphenate their last name for those who are getting married

Absolutely.

I never changed my name. That’s an option, too, but doesn’t help those who have already made the change. This is as close as the far right can get to striking down the 19th Amendment.

I hyphenated my name 40+ yrs ago upon marriage. I had to get a new social security card with the hyphenated name a few yrs ago. Not for voting (CA) something else.

They hate women

Wait, they're letting women vote? WTH? I thought we men decided that's not in our best interest. Next they'll want to have access to consumer credit, too. Soon, they'll expect to be equal partners in their marriages.

You mean this isn’t another attempt by them to make certain their side doesn’t use this to build an argument against voting so they can abolish voting? So make These documents free to obtain. That’s what this is really about, power, control, & making people jump through hoops.

This is why I never legally took any husband's last name. I am an independent individual with my own identity. I never understood why in this modern era why women subjugate themselves this way.

Hey women, you know what solves this? Keep your own names.

Absolutely - but the first time (almost 50 years ago) I went with the times, took his name, then established a professional reputation in that name. After the divorce, because of my profession I kept that married name. I had to go back and get a marriage certificate to even get a Real ID.

I also took my husband's name. When he passed away & I eventually remarried, I kept his name, because like you, all of my professional connections were with that name. When I moved to CA, I had to show my birth & marriage certificates to get a CA license. Today, I'd have just kept my own name.

BS

Election Integrity Legislation! Available from all good Autocrats and Despots!!

“Live free or die” My ass -

Stand up and don’t back down until these autocrats keep their hand off our rights!

MEN why are you letting these misogynistic bastards do this to your wives and daughters?!

All the married MAGA men voted against their wives in many ways. They plain stupid. Can't wait to see how this plays out with them.

Lot of their wives voted same way sadly…especially the White ones

Yes they did. 😒 Probably, they where obeying their husbands. Following the line. That group seems pretty chauvinistic.

Every woman in the U.S. needs to know this! I’m not sure why but the situation is not getting any traction. The right of American women are under attack! Please don’t just sit on your hands. We have to spread the word!

They need to pass a bill to suppress the white, male voter: require them to show a college diploma to be able to vote. Voters without college degrees tilt far more Republican than those with them.

In every presidential election since 1980, a gender gap has been apparent, with a greater proportion of women than men preferring the Democrat in each case. Suppress the female voter. New Republican cheater strategy.

Change your names back to your maiden name ASAP. Don’t give them the satisfaction of keeping you from voting. MAGA women will have the same issue. Heads up female warriors GOP will do everything to keep us from voting!

Just get a passport. You still have to have the same documentation anyway. Changing your name back could also have unintended consequences.

When I married, in 1992, I got a lot of flack for keeping my maiden name. 33 years later I am still married and still have my maiden name. Two of the best decisions of my life.

Absolutely! You are a smart woman! 💙

Ridiculous!

Yep!! Every single married woman who took her husband’s name needs to make sure they have all the paperwork they need to vote. DONT WAIT!!! Get everything ready now !!!!

White women vote Republican. Conservative women are more likely to change their names with marriage than liberal women. I'm not saying this isn't a problem, but it could be a GOP self-own, too.

Come on. Where is your data? I'm white, liberal, was married and changed my name. I know MANY women just like me. I think the name change thing is, in general, more generational/traditional than political.

When will people learn that Repub laws are couched in words that sound reasonable but always end up being a fucking bear trap to hurt the rights of people - just as they intended. Repub laws are always written by snakes who want to trick everyone into taking a bite of the apple.

I live in NH and work the polls. It is indeed BS. I have had several arguments from people, men (shocker), who didn't see "what the big deal is." I schooled them. Another shocker, no concept of what a poll tax is. Having to spend a lot of money to get more documentation (eg. passport) is a poll tax.

Yes! Another way to be punished by poverty, you can't AFFORD to vote. How fragile our rights are.

I fully expect a law like this nationwide, and the consequences will be severe. One possibility is to turn disenfranchised voters into activists.

It’s already been proposed by several GOPers. It’s called the SAVE Act.

She was supposed to give up without actually voting.

The GOP are extrememy afraid of woman. There thinking is: FUCKS SAKE DON'T LET THE WOMAN VOTE, THEY ARE SO PISSED THEY WIIL VOTE US ALL OUT.

"But but but.... It was only supposed to give black and brown people difficulty in voting.... Not me!"

Watched a great film yesterday about women's rights, or lack thereof. "Sufferagette" with Meryl Streep, Helena Bonham Carter, and Carrie Mulligan. #WeAreNotGoingBack

It’s a good movie

Netflix?

I saw it on a plane. It's on Peacock right now.

Fucking New Hampshire? I live in Florida and even we haven't done this, yet.

JFC 🤬🤦‍♀️😤

WTFF? Such BS.

NO!

Holy cat. To everyone that voted for the lying $Conman, who said he didn’t even know what Project 2025 was. Here’s a little sample: We’re going to have to fight for the right to vote AGAIN. It’s shameful that they want to take away our rights. Back to the horrible ‘ol days. Just sickening.

Women tend to vote in favor of families. That's the last thing any Republican wants.

Was that in New Hampshire, or New Gilead?

Prelude to what’s coming for every state. Women wake up.

I feel like we're in the Wayback Machine.

Killing the #Vote kills Democracy

This is exactly what they are trying to do in every state 😡I’m getting so tired of this nonsense

p 2025 well underway

So glad I kept my own name. Jfc never imagined this kind of crap tho! 🤬

I had to show my marriage certificate when I had my DL changed! Women, stop taking your husband’s name. That should please the paternalistic evangelicals.

Oh for God's sake this is insane.

I told the love of my life he could take my last name if he wanted, but I wasn’t taking his when we decided to marry. That choice is what’s being challenged here. Women in this regime are nothing but property of men. All women need to fight against this!!

Voter suppression is a very real tactic republicans use.... All the time! Like 200 bomb threats were called into predominantly democrat voting centers.

Not to disenfranchise women voting Dem and independent but all women regardless of affiliation. Republicans too.

I let my passport lapse but just sent my documentation for a new one. Not going to let the fucking Project 25 misogynists take away my right to vote just because I took my husband’s name.

Have an appointment to apply for mine next week ! 😎

Go back to the kitchen !

How can this be stopped/changed?

Just don’t take your spouse’s name. I didn’t. It’s almost as if they only want men to be able to vote. Now why would they want that I wonder?😡

I’ve been married for 38 years, so I have my husbands name as does our daughter. Back then, not changing your name was unheard of - it was automatic. It’s different now - my daughter didn’t change hers when she got married. This is such BS that they want a marriage license! They hate women. Period.

Cunt Chuck Edwards just threw a Veteran out of a town hall. Mutha Fucker piece of shit.

Next,the husband will have to be present and vouch for the wife???

WTAF??????

Yep.

I’ve been married 50 yrs. we’ve moved 8 times. I have NO idea where my marriage certificate is. I’ve voted in every election since 1976. I guess I need to call Florida Vital Statistics soon. 🤬

Do it asap! It’s bullshit but now we are forced to be proactive. There should be fundraising drives to help women get their passports as well. Too many women will be disenfranchised by this if they can’t afford to get their passports.

Wake👏🏻 up 👏🏻women👏🏻!!!

Well predictable I told you first they came for roe now they are coming for your vote god democrats don’t play the long game

Thanks for the information 👍

This is part of their method to steal the next election, along with "scrubbing" voter rolls and possible hacking. We need to be all over this in every district and precinct.

They’ve already used many of the scrubbing techniques and it worked in 2024. And that was just the warm up.

Heritage Foundation strikes again.

nwlc.org/resource/pro...

Sadly, it's probably not their end goal though. Their end goal is probably much worse for women.

As I understand it, this has been the case in Texas for a few cycles now.

More bullshit!

It's not about finding waste, fraud and abuse. It's about destabilizing and controlling the federal government. It's not about tariffs and helping American businesses, it's about manipulating the stock market in the greatest insider trading scam in history. It's not about freedom, it's about control

Have you read this? America is in deep doo doo. As a Canadian, I'm rooting for good Americans to pull you out of this mess, but time is short and you need strong action now. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Ridiculous!

Despicable. Fight Back, #NewHampshire!!!

Women should make a stink right there and I insist they take their ballot.

Attack against women in full swing

I have my same last name as I did when I was born, but I live in a civilized state of Washington and not some hell hole. But that said, we have real ID drivers license. My Tribal ID meets real ID requirements. To get the drivers license I had to prove that I was a US citizen. Already done for most

So is it that they aren't accepting their own fucking drivers licenses issued by their own backward hayseed state? Because you have to have that kind of driver's license to board a plane soon so most people would have followed this process in their states already. WHAT THE FUCK?

My state sucks ass. The governor is a dumb witch. It's the Floridumb of New England. GAH

The war on women is real. They want to disenfranchise more than 50% of voters. 🤬

Call Schumer, Tell him there's a Blue Wall. Do not vote for the budget CR Let the gov shut down. Yes it's going to hurt. It's already hurting, They are already shutting it down. Do not enable them anymore www.schumer.senate.gov/contact

The point

Women should never have been taking the man's name in the first place. And I don't want to hear you did it for the children. You could always hyphenate their name.

Why isn't a real ID accepted? I had to provide birth certificate, marriage certificate proof of residency to get one. It should be as good as a passport.

"In 4 years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote." - DJT at one of his rallies last July

Americans need to get away from that patriarchal practice of taking the husband’s last name. That is SO 19th century for goodness’ sake!!!

Yep, no need to actually repeal the 19th and cause an uproar…just do this instead and disenfranchise our large voting base. I’m good, but this inflames me for all the women this will impact.

"you'll never have to vote again." FUCK REPUBLICANS!

We warned everybody about this. Project 2025 specifically detailed these strategies for making it more difficult for women to vote. Why wouldn't they? Women as a group are the solidest non-Trump voting bloc, election after election.

Be prepared and show up!

Women take your birth certificate (citizen papers) and marriage licence to vote! Have your papers ready!!

but americans put up with it

Outrageous

No different than the Taliban. The reference we’ve been using that everyone’s been rolling their eyes at. Guess what? None of the women I know are taking that shit lying down.

Women don’t let them stop you VOTE it’s more important than ever

Good reason for women to keep their maiden name

We’ve sunk so far, so fast.

Roughly 10% more women than men vote for Democratic candidates. The more women are blocked from voting, the easier it is for MAGA to cling to power. cawp.rutgers.edu/blog/gender-...

Yes, it’s the final step in suppressing women’s right to vote. They’ve been coming for us for years. Sadly many (white) women didn’t care until now since it didn’t affect them.

This is not normal,

Missouri is very strict with checking ID to vote. I've moved & my license has a different address than what is listed on my voter registration (I've changed it with DMV, but the license still shows my old address). Rather than risk being turned away, I bring my passport as ID.

Every single person needs a passport….do it now

I just got my passport out this last weekend to make sure that it is valid and up to date.

It’s expensive and time consuming.

They’re implementing Gilead. They saw The Handmaid’s Tale as the template for project 2025.

What we're seeing is maga saw Idiocracy and the Handmaidens Tale and decided to create a fascist movement based on both.

I'm not wearing that get-up. EVER.

There are others:

White Landowning Men is the final goal

💯

Every married woman who has the opportunity should get a REAL ID/ enhanced driver's license ASAP. Since both a birth certificate and marriage license are required to obtain one, it should satisfy any voter proof of identity requirement.

Women need to start right now, changing their name back to their maiden name. It’s fine to fight them but we don’t know the outcome whereas changing names back solves any questions.

The other option, but it might be expensive, is to hire an attorney to do a legal name change & not rely solely on a marriage certificate that they say they won’t accept.

Already in place in Ohio for driver’s licenses.

Wild way to give women another reason to not bother to get married.

NH tends to lean red so...

Won’t be surprised if they take that right away from women and POC

just horrible, horrible people

That needs to change really quickly and defend the American voters!

They think that people are not going to want to do that to go all the way home and then come all the way back into stand in line again they're making it harder for people to vote because you know Trump he wants to stay in power

FASCISM!

This is a perfect explanation of what the SAVE Act would do. These stories need to spread far and wide.

yea, I'm going to get my maiden name restored I think, I have no idea where my marriage doc is AND it had my other last name anyway, so I would need 2 and hub 1 died, we divorced in 95. What a gd mess they're making.

📌

Erasing women.

Voter suppression pure and simple

Trump and his MAGA Minions are going to start a goddamn civil revolt. I don't want one, but that's exactly where these people are heading, and it's exactly what they want so Trump can declare martial law and suspend elections altogether.

I have been saying this over and over to my husband. I feel like they are doing as much bad shit as they possibly can to force people into the streets so they can declare martial law and shut down any future elections. This is the next step in the fascist playbook.

Is Marc Elias on this???

The sooner people realize that peaceful protests leading into elections we're pinning all our hopes on is exactly what these fascists are hoping we'll do. They have rigged and weaponized the system and there will be NO FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS moving forward. Maximum disruption is what we must do

Did the SAVES bill pass?

And my ex female MAGA relatives helped make this happen.

Fucking New Hampshire, we thought you were smarter than that.

New Hampshire has always been the most embarrassing New England state.

Spot on. They oppose actual security measures. (Elaboration on demand.)

The lesson here for every woman is to keep your maiden name apparently 🤷🏼‍♂️

These little wieners are so threatened by women, they want to take away HER RIGHT to VOTE?? Out of my way, Junior!! I am who I say I am on my Voter’s Registration Card!! BACK OFF🤬

time.com/7266334/us-h...

This IS the goal. Make everything as difficult and expensive as possible. When I went to get my DL in FL, I had to show “chain of custody” of my last name. I needed my BC, SS Card, 1st Marriage Lic., Divorce papers, and current ML. Passports don’t even ask for all that!

What f---ing year is this anyway?

Ridiculous. In a state that doesn’t require car insurance you have to jump through unreasonable hoops to vote? Big reason not to move up there. What a ridiculous hassle especially for women. Whoever cooked this up should be voted out. Get all you documentation and vote them out.

NH and Virginia drivers don’t need auto insurance.. insane! In NH you are liable for damages if you cause a wreck but I doubt the victims in the wreck ever receive compensation. Virginia can pay $500 uninsured motorist fee to state & drive without insurance. Bonkers🤯

They don't want us to vote they want to send the kitchen pregnant and they think happy the only person who was happy was the man not the woman

My god, it’s easier to get a passport.

This should be at the top of every newscast, front page of every newspaper (still a thing right?), on the lips of independent journalists, and part of every Dem politician with an interest in ever winning another seat in red or blue states.

As a result more women marrying will decline change their last name

It occurs to me that men should start a new trend, take their wives last names instead

It's a poll tax under a different name. No vote for the poors. Also, I could walk in with anyone's birth certificate. Texting a picture?! That could be anyone! It is meaningless time tax.

Absolute crap.

My advice to married women who adopted their husbands' surname: get your passport ASAP *if you can*. It seems the best way to circumvent these voter suppression ID laws. You'll especially be glad you did if the Republicans pass the SAVE Act. Be sure to bring your marriage certificate when you apply.

Yes and you can use your passport to get the fuck outta Gilead when WH mandated rape becomes law.

This is outrageous.

The ‘SAVE Act’ which will come up soon is voter suppression. Call your reps, tell them vote NO. 5 Calls makes it easy. Enter your zip, pick the issue (the SAVE Act), your members of Congress will show and you just pick a name to call. There is also a script provided if you want to use it 5calls.org

This is voter suppression plain and simple. This is also Discrimination against women!

This is what the SAVE act is all about. If your name differs from your birth name you must provide a passport or a court document confirming your name change.

This @vanityfair article on Thiel/Yarvin from 2022 is long but seems to mirror a lot of what is happening right now. if you don’t want to read it have Safari or Google read the article for you. www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/04...

These guys are dangerous as hell. Vance is Theil's puppet.

They're all puppets, including Trump.

This is stupid. To get your name changed on your ID, you had to show your marriage license. You shouldn't have to keep producing it or your birth certificate. That is the purpose of ID cards in the FIRST PLACE.

Never 👎 ever take your husbands name.

By electing Trump, MAGA voted to end voting rights for women.

Also, what happens when you renew your passport?? Do you have to provide a marriage license? Divorce decree??

If your name changed, yes, you have to documentation

Any government that makes it harder for citizens to vote can go F*** themselves.

Women are suppose to be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

Unreal in New Hampshire … so much for Live Free or Die

Women change your documents all back to your birth names asap.

I have been saying this loud and clear for a couple months now. Women, get your papers in order…. Or better yet, just go back to your maiden name!

You're 💯 right Richey Prepare to present papers or be disenfranchised voters

Dems need to scream this from the rooftops. Tell all of America that Repubs are FORCING women to keep their maiden names if we want to vote. It will piss the fragile Christian Nationalist fascists off to no end by saying that. Remember how pissed they were at women "secretly" voting for Harris?

It has been shown many times there is no evidence of non citizens voting This is a GOP pretext to suppress voting by women and lower income population They don't want these groups to vote. How many will just give up because they don't have the documents or the money to get copies #StopTrump

This is CRITICAL - Oppose MGA's Save Act!

Gilead is coming.

OMG!

None of this is okay

This is Vance & Thiel & Project 2025. They know women run the risk of spoiling GOP dominance for the future they want to build.

I would encourage any young woman getting married now to NOT take his name. Doesn't solve the problem today, but if that's how they're going to play this, we can play too.

Exactly. And it may not be a bad idea for married women to revert to their maiden names too.

Good folks. Hopefully most of you know of TOMORROW'S protest by now, but I'll continue sharing the info. Also: You can both sign up & donate on the NowMarch.org website. The organizers will greatly appreciate any financial help they can get! Jessica Denson w/ guests: www.youtube.com/live/IcqwMBU...

Hear constitutional scholar & law professor Evan Bernick👇 lay out what the dems CAN & SHOULD do. The March 14th protest is a good place/time to PUSH on them to ACT once and for all!! (The WORLD is in dire need of those we thought of as the "grown-ups" in the room to ACT!!) youtu.be/CcUzoe6eXvw?...

When we married officially in IL last year I purposely kept my name because of rumors of this!👹

women taking their husbands last name is a tradition that should have fucking died ages ago

Exactly right. SAVE Act is mass voter disenfranchisement.

That is such BS. What about JD Vance. That asshole changes his name every decade.

Wake up people - this is only the beginning

And just like that, married women are disenfranchised of their right to vote. Handmaid's Tale much?

Time for married women to go back to their maiden names. Now!

On the bright side, laws like this may discourage women from changing their name when they get married. Name changes go back to the halcyon days of patriarchy when women were just a man's property.

Gilead stuff.

🤬 How anyone voted for this outright fascist crap is unconscionable.

Yes BS. Lesson learned though- never change your name!

Funny but when I pay taxes, I dont need my birth certificate.
