You didn’t just close state offices. You told employees to spend the day “giving thanks for Christ’s birth.”
A day off is fine. Using state power to promote one religion is not.
Arkansans deserve a governor who doesn't impose her religion onto everyone else.

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people
