Also…reminder to pay attention to all local elections and VOTE. These elected officials are the people most likely to directly impact your life in the short term.
This has to start now. Right now.
Get your birth certificates. There may be a fee or long wait times. Make sure you get a certified copy.
Make sure you have ID. Dig into your state’s laws and the whole Real ID thing, because (and sorry I can’t research this now, but pneumonia) I believe there are certain states whose driver’s licenses don’t qualify for Real ID.
Make sure you’re registered to vote. Google it. Follow the instructions for your state.
Know where your local polling place is or find out if you can vote by mail.
Vote in ALL your upcoming elections. Yes, that means the little ones for city council or dog catcher or whatever. Vote those racist, homophobic, bigots out at every level.
They’re like weeds. You can pull up every visible bit, but if you leave one tiny segment of root, they’ll just come back.
To quote Mira Grant, rise up while you can. Because the Republicans are way the hell worse than zombies.
Obama’s cabinet secretaries flew commercial or took the train, with a few, rare exceptions that were approved at the highest level, but Trump’s aptly named Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price sure loves to charter private jets and bill them to the US government.
Last week, Price chartered five jets, including flights that took off and landed at the same time as commercial flights to and from the same airport.
Price was flying to industry summits where he was discussing his policies with industry executives, which his spokesman described as “meet[ing] face to face with the American people to hear their thoughts and concerns firsthand.”
Price has announced plans to cut “hundreds of billions” in spending on health and housing. He calls this making “tough choices.”
These Republican motherfuckers, I swear to god. There are a lot of reasons we need to take them out of power, but the fact that they keep trying to kick more than thirty million humans out of the healthcare system, keep trying to deliberately hurt over thirty million people, just so they can give even more fucking money to millionaires and corporations, is sickening.
