I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

Trump doesn’t support democracy in Iran.

Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.

That argument exists because the lives of non-white people are cheap in imperial discourse. Mass death on the other side of the world has no reality outside of what space it takes up on the american tv news cycle. If it were otherwise, the old normal would have been as insupportable as the new

ICE took their papersβ€”and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

After a judge ordered Isabel be released from detention in MN with her belongings, ICE sent her homeβ€”but didn't return her work permit, ID, checks worth $700, or her daughter’s US passport.

Isabel is one of many now missing key immigration and identity documents

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

Oakwood officials confirm $68 million purchase of facility for new ICE detention center City officials said they expect the property sale to decrease tax collections by more than $770,000.

πŸ”΄ Oakwood/Flowery Branch, GA warehouse sold to ICE for $68 million.

The sale adds 1,500 beds to ICE’s
New warehouse detention network, and brings the total expenditure to $895 million. GA stands to lose $778K in annual tax revenue. It will cost $2.4 billion to operate all 10 warehouses.

I'm in Kansas and yes, this is 100% to terrorize - and also it will cause and has already caused irreparable harm. It's not the only law out of a barrage of anti-trans laws pushed through in Kansas recently. Our Dem governor vetoed and was overruled.

This is why you can't really collaborate with the feds under any circumstances. If your policy is "we will only collaborate with them when it's unrelated to civil immigration enforcement" then the Trump administration will just lie about what they're doing!

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

And that's not even getting into the possibility that the Firefly revival might be Joss Whedon's way back into Hollywood. Or that without Alan Tudyk a load-bearing character will be gone without a good replacement. Or that the last thing 2026/2027 needs is a story about plucky Confederates.

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

β€œLast month, a spokesperson for the Kansas Department of Revenue told The Star that the agency had processed 159 gender changes on IDs since a district court injunction was lifted in October. Officials say they expect around 1,800 people to have their identity documents revoked.β€œ

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
