The point of "Real ID" laws is that it makes it very hard for trans people and married women to vote.
The tradition in the USA is for women to change their surname at marriage, which means birth certificates won't match current IDs. Unless you can pay for the expensive passports, you can't vote.

This makes me so angry, because what's the f*cking point of all the "Real ID" bullshit hoops they've been making us jump through, if it doesn't count for this? (Also my passport gender marker got updated before this admin but doesn't match my ID, so THAT could get interesting.)

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

john fetterman wants you to believe the 'sexism' problem is calling Kristie Noem a (very tame) name instead of how pregnant immigrant women in minneapolis cant go to the hospital or get prenatal care bc they're too afraid of being kidnapped & brutalized by ICE
Fetterman: "I met with Secretary Noem. I've always treated her with respect. I refuse and never will engage in the kinds of sexist terms like 'ICE Barbie' that the left media will use."

The media has moved on but the assault on the state of Minnesota continues. Small towns, medium, and in both of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul—where this incident happened.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Hey so remember when I said white women are endangering their own freedom when they cozy up to white supremacy? And that the hard right fantasies do not include sharing power with women? Yeah so the not so quiet part is here
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”
