REAL ID Act of 2005, goes into effect this year. REAL ID Act, is a measure passed after 9/11, designed to establish federal standards for the issue of state IDs for entrance to federal facilities, including airports.
residents of 24 states can travel with a state-issued driver’s license, but others may need a federal identification document to cross state borders.
green states: drivers license
red states: federal identification document
yellow states + territories: drivers license OR Passport, not determined yet
federally-issued forms of identification to fly domestically, include a passport, military ID, or permanent resident card.
kids under 16 aren’t required to show any identification to travel domestically, so younger children won’t need passports to fly within the USA
ACLU + other groups suggest the act is a slippery slope to a national ID card system + a violation of the 10th amendment of state’s rights which will “facilitate the tracking of data on individuals” by the government + have a “tremendously destructive impact on privacy.”
"We are getting a vaguely uncomfortable Brexit-y feeling that needing a passport to travel from state to state feels a lot more European Union than United States of America."-CoolMomPicks

1960s native rights :: alcatraz was my family's home as a native american citizen i am grateful alcatraz occupation attention focused the world on native existence + reignited native pride as separate from american pride, + us government didn't hurt the natives. as a mixed native, i wouldn't have been born if it weren't for alcatraz; one of my ancestors was the 1st european boy born on alcatraz 1878. so i am descended from both lineages + assimilated. watch this: image: museum of california by ~mod*mom~ at 17.6.17 © 0 comments
