Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

Utter bigoted bullshit.

If Leon didn't know, he's a fool; if he didn't care, he's worse. Either way, it is long past time for him to resign, and if he won't, the board must remove him. #Botstein #Epstein www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"Loneliness *is* a problem. I am inviting you to contemplate how frequently it is treated as a problem for men and only for men, to be solved by everyone else, by doing work on their behalf that can only ever be considered repair if they do it themselves."

This is just to say that if you are still on Xitter, whatever rationale you’ve based your continued presence there on is not good enough. Get off that hellsite.

By 2024, only a world class moron believed *anything* he said. You were not betrayed - you were conned.

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

I work near an ICE office in Philadelphia. Today I passed by on my way to meet a friend for lunch and the sidewalk outside was packed with big black SUVs with black-tinted windows. And no license plates. It was one of the creepiest, most malevolent things I’ve ever seen.

Communities nationwide push back against proposed ICE facility sites A proposed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Merrimack is continuing to spark strong reactions from residents and local officials.

25 years ago, a bunch of libertarians moved to NH to take over state government. Jason Osborne, one of those "Free Staters," has since risen to be majority leader in the state house.

How is he fighting for "liberty?" By helping Stephen Miller build a 324,000-foot prison for migrants and refugees.

Republicans can end this anytime they want by agreeing to a national gerrymandering ban. Until then, they are going to be made to understand pain.

I assume the plan is to "analyze" voter files the same way DOGE treated federal grants: prompt an LLM with racist conspiracy theories and cancel everything the machine picks

CBS refused to broadcast this Stephen Colbert interview. Here's how to watch it anyway The late show host called out his network for pre-emptively capitulating to the U.S. government.

malicious compliance ftw!

cbs won't let colbert air his interview with james talarico OR mention it.

colbert's "fine, i won't mention it - i'll TALK about it" piece was ❀️‍πŸ”₯. (starts at 1:35).

then he uploaded the interview to youtube (link in article). 🀣

My 19-year-old son and his significant other saw it last night and hated it. Said it was abysmal as an adaptation of the book and abysmal as a film. Glad they saved me the trouble and the $20.
