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.

A reminder that you could levy a 50% tax on the 50 wealthiest people in the world, redistribute the resulting revenue to functionally eliminate global poverty, and most of those 50 people would *still* be the wealthiest in the world.
Poverty and externalised costs are a policy choice.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

HR 9495 will go to a vote this week, likely Tuesday or Wednesday. Again. It's called a "nonprofit killer," a "threat to free speech," and will give Trump unprecedented power.
Tell your congresspeople to vote "no" on this bill.
