The reason you stand firm about sports participation and bathrooms is because it never stops with sports participation and bathrooms. And it never stops with trans people.
As we've been saying the whole goddamn time!
@angryblacklady.blacksky.app Hi there
I don’t normally ask for things like this out of the blue, but could you please boost this thread
Trans people in Kansas are having their driver’s licenses seized, and the press isn’t really covering it

We have eclipsed that tipping point.
Would it be too much to ask local Police and state National Guard to arrest the lawless Federales when they commit murder and conspiracy to fabricate or tamper with evidence? Since the US government has already sworn never to hold them accountable, aren't local and state authorities obliged to?
