REAL-ID update: 200,000 people a day fly without REAL-ID:

In a show of massive passive resistance to baseless threats by the TSA to prevent people without REAL-ID from traveling by air, more than 200,000 flyers without REAL-ID passed through TSA checkpoints and boarded airline flights in the US last Friday, setting a new record for people flying with no ID or with ID the TSA deems “unacceptable”:

It was never about "illegal" or "immigration". It was always about the color of your skin. These pigs are sending and to arrest people who don't look like them. and be damned.

A U.S.-born citizen who was wrestled into the dirt, handcuffed and detained in a vehicle as part of an immigration raid had a REAL ID on him that was dismissed as fake, the man's cousin said Friday.

Video of the arrest, aired by Noticias Telemundo, showed authorities grabbing Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, while at a job site in Foley, Alabama, on Wednesday and bending his arms behind him. Someone off-camera can be heard yelling, "He's a citizen."

Garcia told Noticias Telemundo that authorities took his ID from his wallet and told him it was fake before handcuffing him. REAL ID is the identification U.S. citizens are required by law to have in order to travel through airports and enter federal buildings. It is considered a higher security form of identification.

#Security Theater REALized and Flying without REAL ID

After multiple delays of the #REALID Act of 2005 and its updated counterpart, the REAL ID Modernization Act, in the United States, the May 7th deadline of REAL ID enforcement has finally arrived. Does this move our security forward in the skies? The last 20 years says we got along fine without it. There were and are issues along the way that REAL ID does impose on everyday people,

Idea for a #REALID advertisement:

"I'm real" plays quietly in the background as J-Lo asks Ja Rule, "Are you Ellie?", and he responds by holding up his REAL ID.

Extremely personal and interesting article highlighting the pitfalls of Real ID implementation.

“More than 140 million U.S. citizens don’t have a passport, and more than 21 million don’t have a passport or birth certificate that’s “readily available.” Not unlike my dad, some 69 million women who’ve taken their spouse’s name don’t have a birth certificate matching their legal name. Only 18% of respondents to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey had successfully changed the name on their birth certificate so that it aligned with their other documents. And because the SAVE Act mandates that prospective voters present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship at their local election office, isolated rural voters and anyone who doesn’t or can’t drive — young adults, older people, voters with certain disabilities — risk disenfranchisement.”

The image shows a YouTube video page with a video playing in the center. The video features four individuals seated at a table with microphones, with a black flag bearing Arabic script in the background. Two individuals are wearing white turbans and traditional attire, while the others are in military-style clothing. The video is titled "Real Is Not About Keeping You Safe" and has 191K views, uploaded by "mismedia" 3 days ago. The video's thumbnail shows a similar scene with armed individuals. The YouTube interface includes a search bar, a list of related videos on the right, and various tabs such as "All," "Politics," and "World News." The video's thumbnail and the flag in the background suggest a connection to a specific group or ideology.

Street Legal

I just spent an hour and a half or so at the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. The dreaded RMV.

My drivers license expired on my birthday, two days ago. I needed to renew it (which could be done online) and I also needed to upgrade to the stupid fascist federal RealID card bullshit (which could not be done online). I had an appointment for 3:30 so I was able to get into the office, but the lines were long and I didn’t actually get into to do my business until around 4:30. Once I was at the window though it went off without a hitch.

When I got home, there was a visitor standing next to our driveway.

Out to get my #RealID which seems to be moving pretty cleanly and quickly in Illinois (Chicago suburbs). Turns out the birth certificate I previously had on hand (since the 80s) was a 'wallet card' not acceptable for this, so new official copies arrived this week. IL Secretary of State (DMV) has Saturday ID-only drop in hours at a bunch of locations.

“And so the real #RealID deadline to get on a plane has been pushed back for the fifth time. #TSA can wait until May 5, 2027 [to definitively enforce the rule], by which time the Real ID Act of 2005 will be old enough to have a beer at the airport.”

You know when Real ID became a thing? 2005. TWENTY YEARS AGO. I don’t understand how this keeps getting pushed. You’ve had TWENTY YEARS to get a Real ID. There’s no excuse other than you’re lazy and your state is lazy. I’ve had a Real ID my entire adult life. The only non-Real ID I ever had was my first license. When I was 16. apple.news/AQ3ltHph4TjKRuEE53q #realid
