‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.

New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online

I’m really excited to be presenting new work at Brandeis next month! If you’re in the Boston area, come check it out. Also, since I’ll be in Boston for five days, I’m welcoming suggestions on cool things to do: feminist/queer bookstores, sex shops, cafes or art spaces, fun non-stuffy museums, etc.

Anyone picking the centrist path is a Republican. Jig is up, baby. Clinton Wing of the Dem party is done. Go that way and die. If you want to win a seat, get on the side of the good guys. Or run as a Republican.

Trans youth still have a safe haven in California — but that could change "We know that these cases and policies are going to have a critical impact on trans young people, who are already such a vulnerable minority”, said one advocate about the Trump administration’s polici...

How do you write a whole story about the safety of trans youth in CA without mentioning the existential threat that is Gavin Newsom.

And while we’re at it, ask yourself why your favorite liberal commentator or personality is condemning ICE but never venturing to criticize Democrats and leaders who aren’t using their power to stop them and ask yourself if there’s a financial reason for it.

"Right now, the Democratic party and its leaders are trying to tell you 'oh, it can be reformed. Oh, it's this version of ICE that's the problem, but the reality is fascism is a virus and if you don't fucking treat it, to eradicate it, it will always be there to sicken and fucking slaughter you" 🔥🔥🔥

Dems treated both viruses, covid and fascism, the exact same way.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.

No, they specifically chose 8 Dems not up for reelection to end the government shutdown and side with republicans.

Meaning they are aware of mass calls to primary establishment Dems.

I know that primarying Dems is the call to action for the moment, but why can’t we recall them too when they vote against their constituents wishes or ignore public outcry?

Their manipulation in ending the shutdown for a pinky promise shows them working around primaries.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

How do you contact your reps? Right here mother pupper! Go to the left menu, type in KOSA and they literally tell you what to write and say. You barely have to do any work. Find your legislators and get going! This is everyone’s to do list today.

A lot of you are hoping Republicans crumble so you won’t have to rely on Democrats.

It’s very transparent.
