Guy in a “Never Harris” shirt: “But see, if I pulled the lever so fewer people would suffer and die, I’d still be complicit, and my sense of moral purity is more important than decreasing suffering and saving the lives I could, so I won’t act until the PERFECT solution to save EVERYONE presents itself.”
This legislation would require all Americans to prove their citizenship status by presenting documentation—in person—when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information. Specifically, the legislation would require the vast majority of Americans to rely on a passport or birth certificate to prove their citizenship. Driver’s licenses—including REAL IDs—as well military or tribal IDs would not be sufficient forms of documentation to prove citizenship.
69 million women who have taken their spouse’s name do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name.
The legislation does not mention the potential option for these Americans to present change-of-name documentation or a marriage certificate in combination with a birth certificate to prove their citizenship.
This already passed the House and is with the Senate.
Does anyone else remember when Elon was like “if anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I’ll fund it” and UNICEF was like “we’re going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it” and Elon was like “actually, nah” and then bought Twitter instead?
I think that was one of the worst things I’ll ever see in my life.
I still think that should be the thing for which he’s the most famous. It should be brought up every time he’s mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. “Elon Musk, who was offered a chance to end world hunger and turned it down.” Put it on his fucking gravestone.
I want to urge everyone to call their Senators and House members, even if you live in a conservative state, and urge them to say no to cuts to Medicaid and no to work requirements. Many Americans, left or right, are on Medicaid, including many Republican voters. Talk to your conservative family, especially those who are on Medicaid, and tell them to contact their congresspeople. Medicaid is life saving and for many, like elderly patients in nursing homes, they’d die in the streets without it. If you are a working American, this is your money. You put your money into the system so that if you or a loved one go through a tragedy, you will be taken care of.
I know it seems like we are helpless, but there are still many ways we can make a difference! Call, send an email, and encourage your friends and family to also do so.
