Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security

Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Reupping two threads, for *waves hands wildly in all directions* reasons.

1 of 2:
A thread about acknowledging, learning about, & learning from the survivors & descendants of survivors of the many, many times that "it" has already happened here:
🧵Well-intentioned ppl often warn that “it” could happen here—state-mandated violent disruption & dislocation of communities, cultures, & families, particularly concentration camps & deportations.

US schools mostly don’t teach & US culture mostly doesn’t acknowledge that it already has, many times.

Republicans in Congress want to give a $75 billion tax handout to five of the richest companies in America.

That’s triple what the federal government spends on child care every year.
