Since it costs money to get a new passport or copy of your birth certificate, the SAVE Act is effectively a poll tax.
The SAVE Act is a way for the House Republicans to put up a financial barrier between the 69 million women who would have to get new IDS and the ballot box. #HandsOffHerVote

What’s happening right now is: a thief in your house ransacking it.
You call the cops. They arrest the guy. But your house never feels safe again. All your stuff is broken & scattered. How did this happen?
Now you’re supposed to put it all back together & live like everything is normal? This is us.

15 years ago, the Supreme Court put a for sale sign on our democracy. Now, we’re facing an era of unprecedented corruption.

On the 30th January 1649, King Charles I was executed outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall. His trial was a momentous event in British history.
He was found guilty of treason - a ‘tyrant, traitor, murderer and Public Enemy’.

The reason we organize in unions before something bad happens is the same reason we do fire drills before a real fire happens.
If there is a redundancy in the company you work at, it's nearly impossible to coordinate an effective response with each other without a lot of prior preparation.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.
