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.

Or perhaps someone else can buy this paper from Bezosβsince he seems to view it as an albatrossβand donate it to a foundation established to run it as a nonprofit. Bezos gets a capital loss, the buyer/donor is a hero, the rest of us get a world class newspaper. The Knight Institute is ready to help.

@gremloe (1/24/2026, 10:31:31 AM CST): It appears from zooming in just moments before ICE/CBP shoot yet another US citizen, one agent removes the victims firearm from his waste holster.
The victim was UNARMED when he was shot multiple times.
This is a state execution. Again. https://t.co/bJKnijPq3H

But here's the thing. The most highly retweeted tweets from this periodβ¦ ON X... EVEN AFTER DHS WAS TRYING TO SHIFT THE NARRATIVEβ¦ contained frames that were sympathetic to the victim, and blaming ICE for the βmurderβ or "execution" of the victim. In other words, the RW spin machine wasnβt working.

Another Killing on ICE
The right wing propaganda machine canβt spin the killing of Alex Pretti
Within 4 hours of ICE (actually CBP) killing Alex Pretti, the data suggested that the right wing spin machine was having trouble gaining traction, even on their home turf over on X.
Here's a Substack I wrote analyzing X data from that time. katestarbird.substack.com/p/another-mu...

Op-Ed: With KOSA, Elizabeth Warren is Betraying the Trans Youth She Claims to Protect
Evan Greer writes for EITM: "KOSAβs re-emergence comes during a moment of existential crisis for the Democratic party."
It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.
The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.

This is an "administrative warrant". Not signed by a judge, no legal merit.
ICE carry stacks of these in their vehicles and fill them out as needed.
Ensure everyone you know is aware of what these look like, and that they aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Victory in New Zealand, For NowβInjunction Brings Puberty Blocker Ban to a Screeching Halt
The High Court asserted that, contrary to wild speculation by anti-trans establishments, puberty blockers are largely safe and reversible.
While we were busy with the US Congress, major international news on trans healthcare.
A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there.
The court says that the biggest danger is posed by banning care.
