Lol Love the idea. I visit my dad's grave, pour out a shot of tequila. Which was how he died, celebrating with a shot. Fell over dead, 63 years. Then leave a chunk of ganja under a stone, attempting to lure my brother to visit. Happy father's day.

Trump Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans Under a new rule, the State Dept will be able to revoke trans people's visas over "misrepresentation." It'll give ICE grounds to suspect all trans people of being in the US illegally. transitics.substack.com/p/trump-admi...

karl marx's criticism of social unfreedoms obfuscated behind formal political and marketplace freedoms continues to be the most effective criticism of liberalism and its failures in history tbh. history will only see the nytimes cheerleading for war in west asia, as it remembers w/ iraq

The job of an op/ed page is not to only publish the "right" opinions. If a topic, policy, or decision is in the news / under discussion at the highest levels, the op/ed page at a national newspaper should be publishing pieces that make the case for that policy or decision. Even if the policy is bad!

The letters arrived today. Not last week, not two weeks ago when it was passed or a week ago after the veto was overridden. They arrived the night before the changes were live so no one could do anything about it, just to rub it in and be able to say they’d given notice.

The extraordinary thing is that as came up multiple times during the vote, if you applied to change your marker back the moment this bill was signed, you still wouldn’t have had enough time to comply. The sponsor’s response was that people should have considered it before when changing markers.

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

I know it often comes from a good place, from wanting to celebrate non-normative gender and different types of bodies etc., but consider that if your way of depicting trans women excludes ALL cis women, you may be comforting the "we can always tell" crowd more than validating transfemmes.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social [Idaho con't] Ppl could sue for $10k+ and damages over trans person found in bathroom. Unclear how this cd be proved (taking pix?). Also what "reasonable steps" businesses cd take other than usual signage &/or written policies. Either way it expands the fight to new front.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

1. New reporting indicates that the Trump administration may be making a change to federal forms that could function as a defacto gun ban for transgender Americans. It would require assigned sex at birth on the forms, which could contradict their legal ID. Subscribe to support our journalism.
