Why the U.S. Opened Its Doors to Chinese Students, and Why Trump Is Closing Them

A war against foreign students is an act of national suicide. The US has been blessed to draw smart hard-working people from around the world, and chasing them away will impoverish us all. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Donald Trump’s War on Gender Is Also a War on Government By forcing rigid definitions of sex across all federal agencies, Republicans are undermining the administrative state’s capacity to protect public health and safety.

Opinion | Why the ‘X’ on my passport matters Agents know what to expect when I show my ID, and that’s exactly what they get.

I have an X on my passport. The State Department is denying accurate passports to all trans, nonbinary & intersex people. Reg comments due tmw! Consider submitting something respectful & short. Here's me. Sometimes it's confusing who is what gender. X is efficient. X marks the spot.
