The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

I did a bit of newspaper research on the prayer that Mike Johnson falsely ascribed to Thomas Jefferson on the floor of the House of Representatives yesterday. The story of how that prayer came to be inaccurately associated with Jefferson and then became a meme is pretty wild.
This is the earliest attribution of that prayer to Jefferson that I've come across so far. It's from a 1953 publication of a Christian Identity publication (Christian Identity is an explicitly white supremacist and antisemitic theology). www.google.com/books/editio...

The new Republican House began with an obvious lie advanced in the service of Christian nationalism, so we’re off to a great start
In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
