She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

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.

Anywho, there's no better time than now to put your ideas out there and invite other people to do things with you. Might as well try. You don't have to know everything before starting. You can just start.

Activists protest HHS rules against gender-affirming care; 25 arrested The protest, organized by the Gender Liberation Movement, took place Tuesday at Health and Human Services headquarters.

25 of us were arrested - including parents of trans kids - for protesting HHS rules on gender affirming care for youth. And we'd do it again!

ACT UP, FIGHT BACK.

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalismβ€”and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

Indigenous Actor Elaine Miles Reports Detention by Alleged ICE Agents Indigenous actor Elaine Miles says she was walking to a bus stop in Redmond, Wash. when four men wearing masks and vests labeled β€œU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement” stepped out of two unmarked ...

They're also famous these days for refusing to accept Indian tribal IDs. Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of Northern Exposure says a masked agent dismissed her Umatilla tribe ID as "fake" and that both her uncle and her son had also been stopped by agents who refused to accept their tribal ID. /4

Acting like the police will "save" people from ICE is a big misunderstanding of policing.

The saddest part of this heated rivalry era is that tumblr didn't survive to see it. I just know it would be flooded with an abundance of gay GIFs

I welcomed our son into the world earlier today without Mahmoud by my side. Despite our request for ICE to allow Mahmoud to attend the birth, they denied his temporary release to meet our son. This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer.
Mahmoud remains unjustly detained in an ICE detention center over 1,000 miles away from his firstborn child. My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family in an attempt to silence Mahmoud’s support for Palestinian freedom.
I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate, just like his dad.

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child today, a baby boy.

In a statement, she said, β€œMy son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family…”
