It's RIGHT on the border between municipalities and no one wants it to be their problem

UPDATE:

The House Energy & Commerce hearing for KOSA and related bills will be *this* Thursday. If you don’t want the US to endure the same mass online censorship as the UK, now’s the time to act. Call your reps!

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

the ice melting is really when you start seeing all the potholes appearing. a shift in the asphalt & then crack that goes down to unknowable depths & you were just trying cross the street to grab breakfast when the eyes blinked at you from out of the darkness below your feet

you will be minding your own business in this god damn city and photographing the cutest little split gill mushroom on a tree and someone you know will come up behind you and say "wow cole, really?"

Truly astounding as a trans person to watch your community be told we're not worthy of consideration by Democrats on Monday, be told to be silent and grateful all of Tuesday, and by Wednesday an entire state has criminalized trans citizens' existence.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
