Phil Murphy signed a bill to do that Thursday, capping years of pressure from activists and supporters. The bill signing came three days after the Assembly and Senate, both controlled by Democrats, passed the measure, which had been stalled despite months of demonstrations across the state. State officials have said they expect it will take at least a year before the actual licenses are issued. Hundreds of immigrants, many who likely will benefit from the new law, cheered Murphy at Snyder Academy in Elizabeth, where nearly two years ago a coalition of organizations launched the Let’s Drive NJ campaign that aimed to get support for the controversial measure. “Today, is a simple recognition that our immigrant communities, each of you are a vital part of our state and our economy," Murphy said."* Read more here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/12/19/undocumented-immigrants-can-get-nj-drivers-license-under-new-law/2706182001/ Download our FREE app: http://majorityapp.com SUPPORT the show by becoming a member: http://jointhemajorityreport.com LIKE us on Facebook: http://facebook.com/MajorityReport FOLLOW us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/MajorityFM SUBSCRIBE to us on YouTube: http://youtube.com/SamSeder ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_ZejGTciSA

And i was diagnosed with it after I developed a life-threatening heart condition and was rushed to the emergency room the heart condition was very mysterious, and I just had my second baby who also coincidentally had a heart condition while I was pregnant. And it turned out that both of these conditions were being caused by my own immune system which was mounting in response and actually attacking the function of first my unborn baby's heart and secondly my heart. So I was given a diagnosis by a rheumatologist who's a specialist in autoimmune diseases and really knows how to kind of piece through all the symptoms and what kind of blood work to ask for. But generally speaking, there's not a lot of knowledge of consistent knowledge in general medical practice about autoimmunity and how to diagnose it. Lupus ordinarily takes between four and six years to be conclusively diagnosed. So in this respect from when I first got really sick to when I was diagnosed, it was pretty fast but actually for about seven years before my diagnosis I'd been having what I now know is the characteristic symptoms of lupus.
