She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

Rep. Deluzio: I don't think the Trump administration knows what they are doing. We have 4 dead Americans, which is horrible. I think folks at home want cheaper health care, cheaper housing. They don't want billions spent on unnecessary wars overseas and Americans coming home in flag-draped caskets.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

Chicago sees exodus of immigration judges during Trump’s second term Of the 21 judges who worked at the city’s immigration court in January 2025, nine judges have resigned, taken buyouts or been terminated, a Tribune review found.

As cases surged, Chicago’s immigration court has 43% fewer judges since Trump took office.

Not mentioned & IMO an underreported element on the impact: in Trump’s first week in an office, a new immigration court opened in Indianapolis, where tens of thousands of cases were diverted from Chicago.

Trump is now considering sending in US ground troops into Iran.

Currently the main obstacle preventing a deployment is that they didn’t prepare to need a deployment; lack the recourses and assets for it. The operation has been pushed from 4 days to 4 to 5 weeks.

Trump seems too comfortable with US deaths in his futile Iran war | Opinion Announcing the deaths of three U.S. soldiers following his attack on Iran, President Donald Trump said 'that’s the way it is.' Good lord.

"What they saw was a convicted felon, a man who has been found liable for sexual abuse, a man who is a billionaire living the highest of high livesβ€”deciding on his own that American troops would enter another Middle East war." Devastating from @rexhuppke.bsky.social

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
