Text of the full letter available here.

They are doing this the extra cruel way on purpose. If they knew which people to send this letter to, then they could have just as easily just automatically mailed them replacement licenses. But forcing them to make arrangements to travel to a DMV, present themselves in person (to be potentially humiliated/deadnamed by the DMV employees to their faces), and to be unable to drive themselves to their work/school in the interim, are all just ways of making this process even harder. And because there’s a National Driver Register database that lists individual drivers’ status and history information, it’s not necessarily even as simple as just moving to a different state and get a new license issued there, because it will presumably show their previous license as being suspended.

Someone has been comparing this to the day in 1938 when the German government invalidated all German passports held by Jewish people, forcing them to surrender their old passports and instead have passports stamped with a “J” for Jewish on them.

For trans people, carrying an ID that misgenders them opens them to intrusive questions, harassment, and even violence.

I’ve also seen people boost the following organization for those who relocation is financially not an option:

‏Our life now is all about searching for food so we don’t die of hunger and malnutrition. The price of one kilogram of flour is $60, and my family and I need at least 2 kilograms every day. A kilogram of sugar costs $400. My little brother Zain needs diapers and milk—each diaper costs $20. We don’t have the money to buy all of this. We are suffering from hunger and can’t afford anything

‏These are some photos of the famine we are suffering from 🍉

Here is the link pls donate 10$ or 5$ or higher i will be very grateful 👇🏻🔗🙏🏻

It’s been 204 days, and we’ve raised only 95 / 9000 goal €— with no donations received in the past 7 months please donate with the link 🔗 above 👆🏻🙏🏻

Some one million people residing in Gaza City have been given orders to evacuate.

And the israeli occupation is forcing people to move south by bombing high-rise buildings where thousands of people are sheltering.

These people are left homeless in already deadly conditions – many refuse to move as they have nowhere to go.

More and more massacres are ongoing, people are STILL being shot down whilst looking for food.

The situation is unconscionable, many families are facing the threat of inevitable death – please try to do something, please don't ignore those who are asking for your help.

People need donations for transport, food & a new shelter ( considering winter is approaching ) so they can hopefully escape this horrifc fate.

Sahar ( @saharfamily22 ), Mohammed and their young daughter deserve life, they don't deserve to die.

Honestly, I don't know why saying that human beings deserve to live & be respected is considered controversial,

– but they need urgent donations for transport from their area, which is also being severely bombarded and under evacuation orders.

66% of the goal has been raised – the last donation was a day ago ...

In a situation as dire as this, they cannot afford to go days without donations – you can also donate via the PayPal link if you can do so, don't be a silent witness to their deaths.

You shouldn't have to be asked twice, if you have a bank account, and can donate – donate. Its not your life that's at constant risk.

If you aren't doing anything to stop this ongoing massacre, you're complicit in it.

tagging for reach, your voice is important –

It’s so incredibly humanizing to see people from the very distant past in such authentic color

And like. look at these landscape shots!! They’re so vivid!! Even aside from the historical value, these are just legitimately beautiful photographs
