"That morning, Equality El Dorado, the town’s local LGBTQ+ organization, had posted on Facebook asking for volunteers to help drive trans Kansans to the DMV, as well as cash donations to help people cover the unexpected cost of a replacement license. "
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.

Right now, there's open grumbling on the right -- Ted Cruz said there was no need for war and even lickspittles like Matt Walsh are having trouble with the quick reversal here -- but that window will close and they'll circle the wagons soon enough.
Dems need to be vocal and unsparing now.
3 ICE agents got McDonald’s and then went on a joy ride through the neighborhood tonight around 1 AM. This has nothing to do with public safety and is all about terrorizing people and burning through taxpayer dollars. This is why we can’t rest until every last agent leaves our state.
Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/

We literally signed a peace deal in 2015
This happens with Walsh now and then and it’s fascinating that he’s a true believer in all this stuff and never figured out that conservative media is for the rubes. That he’s been done in himself.
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.
It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever
I spent hours looking through hundreds of files of materials that have been flagged for review by National Park Service sites around the country. Here is just a small sample of what I found. #NationalParks 🗃️ open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...
For booksellers, the ABA created this form to make it easy to contact your Rep about this terrible bill. www.bookweb.org/advocacy-act...
What a truly vile group of 6.
The founders could not have anticipated that Congress would simply stop doing its job, but that’s where we are now.
When we are on the other side of this slide into fascism, we’re going to have to figure out how to make members of Congress WORK!

Have you worked in child care or early learning? Do want to help shape vaccine policy? The Vaccine Advisory Committee wants your expertise. Help us ensure immunization strategies are practical, equitable, and responsive to the realities of children and child care providers across Washington.
For once, we agree. Take the vaccine, please.
If you screamed "RICKY!" during the halftime show, it's tiempo to ask your doctor about getting screened for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer.

All I'm going to say is that the societal expectations that the eldest daughter takes care of the aging parents (& many of the other familial problems) absolutely fucking sucks.
Newly disclosed government files on Jeffrey Epstein illustrate how close they got to indicting the wealthy financier on federal sex crimes charges nearly two decades ago before scrapping a potential prosecution.
ROLLING STONE: “The damage from Miller’s grand designs are plain for all to see. Americans’ mistrust and hyper-partisanship has grown only more poisonous. The country feels like a tinder box and Miller, and ICE are running around with lit matches.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage.
Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.
Bellingcat has also synced videos from today's killing

We all made this choice weeks ago, many rushed to the Renee Good scene, only to rush to another scene minutes away to fight 10-20 loaded up ICE trying to kidnap someone, and endless since.
When people hear someone is shot or just single vehicle sighted, it is only more people going TO the danger.
Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.
“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
To repeat: Abolish ICE.
The way to reconcile this is their aspiration was always to put down a slave revolt, not fight in one. bsky.app/profile/osit...
She's honestly not any better than the nazi she was running against, tbh.
We set out to determine how many images of women and girls Grok created during its nudifying spree. What we found was “industrial-scale abuse,” experts said. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...
