Accepted forms of ID to vote under the SAVE Act:
1. Enhanced REAL ID: Only available in 5 states. Costs up to $50 and requires a birth certificate which 40M Americans lack access to.
2. Valid passport: 146M Americans do not have and costs at least $130. Trump gutted the agencies issuing them.
3. U.S. military ID card presented with military record of service.
4. Government-issued photo ID showing place of birth: 300M Americans do not have one, and costs up to $50.
5. Non-Enhanced REAL ID driver’s license, state ID, or tribal ID shown in conjunction with a birth certificate (40M lack access to) that matches your last name (which 69M women do not have due to marriage) and other forms of documentation.
Ironically, the states the SAVE Act hurts the most: West Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
If the SAVE Act was actually a Voter ID bill, then it would propose making the validate forms of ID free and easily accessible, bringing it in line with the 24th Amendment.
Until then, it’s just another Republican voter suppression bill, that makes registering to vote, voting, and ensuring your voting status harder.
The deaths of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti are unconscionable and weighing heavily on so many of our hearts.
Over recent weeks, in Minneapolis and other communities across the country, we have seen neighbors standing up for each other with courage, compassion, and solidarity.
No one in the United States should ever have to fear losing their life for taking peaceful, principled action in support of their beliefs.
Our country is not our government—our country is us, we the people. For 250 years, we have been bound together by bedrock values, the rule of law, and inalienable rights.
There is nothing more American than exercising our rights and holding our government accountable. Our democracy depends on it.
Mary Turner, ICU nurse in the Minneapolis metro area and NNU president, visited the site of fellow nurse Alex Pretti's murder today.
Nurses across the country are heartbroken and outraged, and we demand the immediate abolition of ICE!
This is Alex Pretti, the man the Trump admin and Trump supporters call a "domestic terrorist."
Here Pretti is reading the final honors, honoring a soldier who has passed away at the hospital he was a nurse at.
Stop believing Trump's propaganda. He is lying to you! WAKE UP!
Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people.
The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor.
Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White House is.
ICE rappel from Black Hawk helicopters—detain U.S. citizens.
Grab everyone at apartment complex—even zip tie the children together.
"They had the Black people in one van, and immigrants in another van," said witness.
"One agent literally laughed... He said, 'F them kids.'"
Trucks and military style vans were used to separate the children from their parents—destroying neighborhood property in the process.
"My building was shaking... Then I looked out the window, and it's a Black Hawk helicopter!" said another witness.
"We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."
ICE released statement saying the raid went "smoothly," and was "targeted" to find gang members at the apartment complex on the south side of Chicago. #DemsUnited
“The Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008.”
