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.

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate./We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed./ Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

1. In a proclamation issued yesterday, Trump declared allowing transgender youth to transition "child abuse."
He then called for swift punishment of "abuse," with transgender care being his main example.
This is the latest escalation in attacks on trans youth.

They are holding Title 1 funds that support the lowest income students for ransom. So the kids who need teachers of color the most, will lose funding first if their district hires with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in mind.
Education Dept. warns schools: Eliminate DEI programs or lose funding
The department sent a letter to state leaders threatening the loss of funds for K-12 schools that don't follow its interpretation of civil rights laws.

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban.
It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture.
Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes.
