Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people Kansas' new anti-transgender law, SB 244, invalidates driver's licenses and birth certificates for over a thousand transgender people.

Transgender folks in Kansas just had their IDs invalided.

The mainstream media isn’t giving this story enough attention. Please repost to help amplify! This is unacceptable.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

As a doctor, I am horrified by what I saw at the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.

No medical protocols.

No real medical care.

No nurse on site when I visited.

No beds. No real blankets. Extremely cold temperatures. Minimal food.

These conditions are inhumane and unacceptable.

Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill"
