    I lost my real ID and had to replace it last month. I brought my passport, assuming that was good enough to prove who I am, and the dmv website said that is an acceptable document.

    They wouldn’t accept my fucking passport as proof of citizenship or anything else at the counter. This is after scanning my face to make sure it matched the photo on my lost ID lmao. I had to do the Karen thing and ask for a manager

    the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) now considers unreliable, even though getting one requires providing proof of citizenship or lawful status in the country.

    Translation: they found people they don’t like that have these, so argue must be flawed.

    Sounds like a typical fascist playbook. Death by impossible bureaucracy.

    Everybody desperately tries to comply with an impossible bureaucracy, exhausting themselves preventing them from joining from the fight they should really be having.

    Almost like it’s too complicated to be solved on the street during random stops…

    Side note:

    Next round of IDs can we stop putting addresses on there?

    If a cop needs to know your address, they can view that when scanning it. It doesn’t need to be printed on there for anybody to see. And most people rent and don’t update anyways.

    Even DOB too, just have a pass/fail for 21. No one needs your exact date of birth.

    It’s crazy we put all that info on there.
