@ezra@wetdry.worldhow to get a passport as an american citizen (for no reason in particular, but boosts cool and good)

fill out the DS11 with the online tools here. save and print out the pdf, not double sided.

set up an appointment at whatever usps is most convenient to you. earlier rather than later if you need your passport more quickly.
it will cost you $130 for the passport book, $35 for the appointment, $15 for photo services if you can't do your own.
@ezra Instead of fleeing maybe start setting up a viable alternative to a Democratic party.
@ezra FYI - the USPS appointment scheduler is basically nonfunctional for me on Firefox (rarely makes it past the first loading screen, and when it does usually gets stuck on a later one) but works fine in Edge, so if you have issues with it try switching browsers
@ezra@filifa yeah i was having the same issue. chromium worked for me
The drugstore chains can also do the photos and it's like half that, or less.
If you have a phone, take a photo yourself against a white wall. Don't smile or wear anything that hides your face/head shape. Getting a photo printed at a drugstore is like $2.
@fencepost@infosec.exchange@ezra Probably a good idea to pay the extra $30 to get the passport card as well - particularly for anyone who might find it useful to have proof of citizenship on them at all times.
