If one has the resources, having both is good. When one expires and is trapped in renewal-limbo, you have the other. (For proof, but not for air travel.)

Not wrong!

Yep.
ALL of this designed to, at the very least, push people through the cracks.

Right on cue.

Nonprofit libraries ordered by State Department to stop processing passport applications The agency, which regulates U.S. passports, began issuing cease and desist orders to not-for-profit libraries in late fall, informing them they were no longer authorized to participate in the Passport...

Oh, and, yeah, on cue:

PS - Guess what comes after the SAVE Act.
Passport processing and USPS delivery delays. Bet those delays last until at least... 2027.

You know what comes after the SAVE Act? Passport processing and USPS delivery delays that last until... 2027.

I have noticed that the cases listed have links with details. Whether or not they are factual, I do not know, though I suspect they aren't fabricating data out of thin air, just spinning it. (Having to click around to discover this is data since 1982 being one example of spin.)

The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Map The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Map is an interactive tool providing a sampling of proven instances of election fraud across the U.S. From @HeritageDataviz

Take note of HERITAGE FOUNDATION's data on voter fraud. Their totals cover more than 40 years of data, averaging out to less than than 1 fraudulent vote per state per year. Surely that's reason to attempt to disenfranchise some 60M women (and plenty of others) right?

Sorry - make that less than 1 vote/state/year. Fury inhibits my math skills, it seems.
1620 votes/50 states/43 years = 0.75 votes.

Even the HERITAGE FOUNDATION website shows minimal fraud. Dig just a bit, and you see their totals cover more than 40 years of data. So the SAVE Act harms some 60M women (and plenty of other ppl) to MAYBE save, oh, I dunno, an avg of less than 2 votes per state per year?

Will SAVE Act Prevent Married Women from Registering to Vote? - FactCheck.org Q: Is it true that under the SAVE Act married women will not be able to register to vote if their married name doesn’t match their birth certificate? A: The proposed SAVE Act instructs states to esta...

I was unclear whether or not that point meant a marriage document ALONE would not get you in the door, in contrast to marriage doc PLUS birth cert. It seems bill language is vague (probably intentionally, to create room to deny, delay, and therefore prevent votes.)

Unclear on point five: Is a marriage cert good or not? (In other words, marriage cert PLUS birth cert gets you in the door, right?)
(I'm still not okay with this, just want to understand the summary here.)

Exactly.

Until, IMO, the bad/lack of regulation stops outweighing the good, I'll do my best to not use or feed it at all.
The entire model is built on theft. Not to mention what data centers are poised to do to the environment and our electric bills.

Most of these apps are stalker-apps, too, so don't just stop at deleting the Starbucks app. Companies wouldn't develop free apps unless they were getting something out of it.

If you want to find a pet, get a Fi collar. (It is data sketchy, too, but it's actual purpose is to find your pet.)

Came here to say... all these things.

330M+ and not even 1M can make to DC? Especially given how many millions live within a day's drive?

Is your Senator likely to cave? Get a coalition together that will go far in looking after people that will suffer during a shutdown. And let your Senator know.

Have a senator that might cave? QUICKLY get a coalition together stating that you will look after those that will be hurt by a shut down. And tell that to your Senator.

And those most likely to cave near to hear that we are committed in doing so.

I am grateful for these! Nearly always listen to "What's the Plan?" and other offerings via replay.

Can do.

I'm in. You?

Recently came across the MigraCam app. Look like made by the same folks that made the ACLU Mobile Justice app. Needs some looking in to, but perhaps that's an alternative for some.

It's 30 min for someone with the knowledge. I'm laughing because I use that line myself (different skill set, obv) and those lacking that skill set look at me like I'm nuts.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
