I cannot express how distressing it is to know DeSantis will not be governor of FL next year. It feels like impending doom. DonaldS CANNOT win this election or we’re in serious trouble.
I voted for this. Way to go, DeSantis.
Starting July 1, Florida will begin rolling out a major change to driver's licenses and state ID cards: your citizenship status will now be printed directly on the card.
The change is part of HB 991, Florida's version of the SAVE America Act, which Governor DeSantis signed in April. Beginning next month, new licenses and renewals will indicate whether the holder is a U.S. citizen or holds another legal immigration status. Current license holders will not need to make a special trip to the DMV, as the change will be applied automatically at their next renewal or replacement. Anyone who becomes a U.S. citizen can get a free updated card reflecting their new status.
The broader law also eliminates student IDs, retirement community IDs, debit cards, and public assistance IDs as acceptable forms of voter identification. Candidates running for federal office must now disclose whether they intend to trade stocks while in office, and all candidates must affirm U.S. citizenship and disclose any dual citizenship. The full suite of voter registration and election code changes takes effect January 1, 2027, though the driver's license provision kicks in next month.
Critics say the law will disproportionately burden naturalized citizens and legally present immigrants, while supporters call it a common-sense modernization of identification standards. <<<--- this won't burden me.
@ToscaAusten@pr0ud_americans She looks ridiculous. As does J Lo and every other past middle age “performer”. I’m not saying they shouldn’t try to look good, I’m just saying age with dignity and stop gyrating like you’re 21 years old. No one takes you seriously.
@CB618444@Jesusis4all Also, stop assuming everyone is ordering Uber Eats and Starbucks. They aren’t. Just because you find yourself in a comfortable situation doesn’t mean everyone else is irresponsible or lazy.
@CB618444@Jesusis4all Sentimentality is not a replacement for truth. I’m worn out with people not wanting to face the fact that inflation is out of control and ignoring the struggle young people and others are dealing with. It’s condescending and insulting.
