Tell me you've never been to a library without telling me. My public library requires "photo ID" to get a library card but accepts school ID cards, employee IDs, and "ID cards issued by the Mexican, Argentinian and Korean consulates." And you don't need ANY special card or ID to "go to the library."
Leavitt: "You need an ID to go and purchase alcohol. You need an ID to go to the library and check out a book. So the president thinks you should have an ID to vote in our nation's elections."

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

When I was growing up, white Christians often criticized Rev. Jesse Jackson for inserting himself into the public eye for, it was implied, selfish reasons. He called it "the ministry of being there" and it's one of the easiest and most effective things you can do for your fellow humans. #RestInPower
