  1. @madargon @SecondUniverse It is scary isn't it. I don't understand the urge to put others down.
    When our country allowed for 'non-binary' on birth certificates I got mine changed, after some internal debate.
    Now there is a more right-wing government talking about bathrooms and so on, and I wonder what might happen downstream - no going under the radar now.

  2. New #Legislation Would Rein In ICE’s #FacialRecognition App

    A group of 6 #Democratic lawmakers is proposing legislation that would dramatically rein in #Immigration & #Customs Enforcement’s ( #ICE ) facial recognition app, according to a copy of the draft bill. #ICE & Customs & #Border Protection (CBP) have been scanning peoples’ faces with #MobileFortify , using it to verify their #citizenship & claiming that a result should be trusted over a #birthCertificate

  3. As somebody with an unusual #name (which I changed by #deedPoll), I'll occasionally hear people ask loaded questions like "Yeah, but what's your REAL name? The one on your #birthCertificate?" 😡

    Well #FuckTheHaters. As of today, my birth certificate's been retroactively updated to show my "real" name.

    Here's how I took advantage of the #law of #Scotland to do it:

  4. #FairHousing law used to protect #transgender ed people. Trump has reversed this (he's pretty much reversed all fair housing law.) This person had their door kicked in, their king sized bed removed, their #BirthCertificate and #SocialSecurityCard stolen among other important things.

  5. #SAVEAct Could Stop Millions of #Women From Voting. Here’s What You Need to
    Know
    Bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to #vote. It would have a direct impact on anyone whose #legalname does not match their #birthcertificate or #passport, such as 79% of heterosexual married women.
    Data show that SAVE Act would only #disenfranchise eligible American #voters, and do nothing to prevent illegal voting.

  6. #Voter #disenfranchisement , a top priority of #Project2025, would be done by requiring either a birth cert or passport in your current name, meaning up to 70 million married women and low income people are the targets.

    This affects *everyone* whose name has changed.

    * immigrants who tried to assimilate
    * married women
    * transfolk
    * adoptees

    If you currently use a name other than the one your parents gave you, it affects you.

    In WA state, mail-in voting would be destroyed by this law. #washington #Seattle #KingCounty

    Contact your Senstors to oppose this, today 2/12

    Here's how they would do it.

  7. #PSA

    Reminder to everyone in the #US to get your documentation together in the next 48 hours.

    Donald Trump will declare victory tomorrow night, and whether he wins it or not, there's going to be a lot of chaos. If he does win, it will be imperative for every #American to have proper documentation ready: fascist governments often put in serious hurdles for anyone who doesn't have their papers, and it could get very hard to get them after the election.

    This is especially true if you are a member of a #marginalized group, especially when he is targeting like #queer, #hispanic, #muslim, #palestinian, or #jewish people.

    Be sure to make sure you have a copy of your #SocialSecurity Card and #BirthCertificate.

    Do not wait to get your papers together.

    Be safe. Be prepared.
