"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. "

Honestly a more impressive move would have been covering the missed income of transgender drivers now out of a job

They censored 'free Palestine' and left in a slur repeated multiple times. It's all so blatant, ffs.

The idea that trans sports bans affect only a very small number of students who manage to even try to play at the collegiate level? Like? You know a lot more of us would love to, right? I quit organized sports at age 14 because it became impossible. That's why i'm a musician and not a soccer player.

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits:

paid for by cuts to reproductive health care

paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid

paid for by cuts to SNAP

paid for by cuts to clean energy projects

paid for by cuts to obesity prevention

paid for by cuts to disaster response

paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

An American skier is fighting to open up the last Winter Olympic sport off limits to women U.S. Nordic combined athlete Annika Malacinski is leading the fight for gender equality at the Winter Olympics after women were excluded from the sport at the upcoming Milan Cortina Games.

I know we're having a lot of fun with the whole penis doping thing, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't point out that this should be the scandal in ski jumping that everyone is screaming about apnews.com/article/olym...

A Pregnant Woman at Risk of Heart Failure Couldn’t Get Urgent Treatment. She Died Waiting for an Abortion. In a state that had legislated its commitment to life, Graham spent her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.

Ciji Graham was at risk of heart failure and couldn’t get urgent treatment. She died waiting for an abortion.

Doctors in states that ban abortion have repeatedly denied standard care to high-risk pregnant patients.

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so.

She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide.

She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

They're targeting Renee Good's widow because they don't want her talking. If they can manufacture charges, most defense attorneys will tell her not to speak with media even if she did nothing wrong

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.

Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Video shows Minneapolis ICE shooting that left woman dead An ICE agent is claiming self-defense after shooting and killing a woman in Minneapolis. Eyewitnesses tell a different story.

"Witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street."

So, the frog stopped the National Guard from coming to Portland, along with astute lawsuits by Oregon. Only part of what's happening, but hard to understate how fundamentally the Portland Frog changed perceptions and helped morale. Humor, imagination, courage, savvy.
