Trump’s executive order on voting rights. I may be misinterpreting this (correct me please if I am), but it sure sounds like you won’t be allowed to vote if you didn’t opt for a “RealID” version of your license. A regular driver’s license contains no information regarding citizenship status, at least in my state, so it wouldn’t count. A lot of low income people in rural America have skipped getting a “RealID” because it’s more expensive. If this order goes thru, that decision may cost them their right to vote. This could disenfranchise millions of low income voters.

    My state license allows an X marker. RealID doesn’t, since its contents are under the directive of the federal govt.

    Also, X/trans folks are being denied passports.

    Certainly seems like I’m not meant to live my life as I see fit.
