Obama backed Manchin's proposed compromise version of the For the People Act.

Sanders said he did not reject it out of hand.

Manchin's version of voter ID requirements is not as bad as what Republicans are imposing in many states. It permits demonstrating residence with a utility bill. In some states, that is a lot cheaper and easier to get than an official state ID.

However, many people who share apartments don't directly pay any utility bills (though they may share the cost). How are they supposed to vote? What about spouses that don't have the utility bills in their name? And adult children who had to move back to their parents' home?

I don't know whether Manchin's compromise would enable them to vote or not, since I don't know the details.

The same difficulties could prevent them from getting a driver's license in some states.

The US Supreme Court allows corporations to direct farms outside the US to mistreat workers and not be held responsible.

The decision gives corporations more rights than human beings. That is always wrong. Aside from that, the decision is wrong because it allows a US entity to organize and direct an action and escape responsibility for it, by organizing and directing it outside the US.

There is a crucial factual question: to what extent do Nestle USA and Cargill really control the working conditions on those farms? The article quotes someone as asserting that they have total control. The article itself doesn't demonstrate that. It may be true, though.
