My more optimistic take on the whole “did the protests do anything” debate is that here is value to showing you are not alone and that a massive number of people are willing to come out and be public even in very far right areas.
Organization takes time and a diversity of tactics is a positive.

The House passed a bill this morning that makes massive cuts to Medicaid. Now, it goes to the Senate.
Medicaid provides vital, lifesaving care to millions of people with disabilities nationwide. Tell Congress: Protect Medicaid.

My advice to all of my readers:
WAIT to send in your passport update right now. As soon as we get class certification, which I will announce to all of my readers, that will be your time to rocket speed submit your passport applications.
Right now, you should likely wait.

1. In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has blocked the passport ban for transgender Americans... government ban likely violates equal protection, and is made with animus.
Though the ruling only applies to plaintiffs, it is expected expand in coming weeks.

Judge Blocks Passport Ban For Plaintiffs, Citing Government Animus And Equal Protection
The federal judge ruled that transgender people's passport changes do not, as the Trump executive order stated, deprive the "dignity, safety, and well-being of women."
