We not only killed the leader of a sovereign nation we killed his daughter his grandson his son and law, many civilians and children

It’s despicable

This is not Coretta-like.

"They want me to hide or leave or disappear" Republicans invalided Avery Rowland’s drivers license, along with hundreds of other transgender Kansans. Here’s how she’s fighting back.

“They want me to hide or leave or disappear, not to be visible and active in public society."

A new Kansas law went into effect this week that invalidates preexisting IDs with gender markers that do not match someone’s sex assigned at birth.

*to a black coworker* hey check this out, I made an AI image of you as a freakin pimp!!! lmao check out your hoes lol bro you are swagged to the max!!!

coworker *closing notepad doc of 10000 ways to torture me to death* wow man that really funny

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.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided. (🎁 link:)

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

hello cis people could you please give a shit

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Why was this important to me? It’s impossible to tell!

My point is that the people who accuse the left (and specifically trans people) of “weaponizing identity” regularly weaponize identity in ways that are actually harmful.

He’s pretty clearly to her left in Israel Palestine, to start.

The FBI director should be closer to paranoid and reclusive than they are to whatever this is. It’s a scary job! Act scared!

I’m sorry, but temperamentally, the FBI director should be closer to Hoover than Patel.

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion

There’s a difference between being peed on and in front of. One is an inconvenience, the other is a crime.
Precision matters.

It’s asinine to dismiss trans people’s concerns as frivolous identity politics. What could possibly be more kitchen table than “don’t legislate us from existence”?

We’re watching Jasmine Crockett run an identity centered campaign against an opponent to her left.
Both Sotomayor and Ginsberg used identity as a cudgel against their leftist critics telling them to retire.
Leftists want to talk issues. Liberals want to talk about how the left doesn’t talk issues.

And WHO are they talking about specifically? Because I don’t think any real thought leader in the party talks in the terms he’s pushing against.

I am once again needing Jungle, I'm afraid.

There are no commons.
Even if you could argue that twitter at one point was the commons, to insist so now seems silly.

Exact quote was “I looked on the ice and saw my teef”

They beating yo ass in the comments and rts. And I’m here to help them.

So these corporations passed the bill onto their customers and will be rewarded for it. Nonideal

Wesley R. Dingus like Weezy F Baby.

This is a genuinely terrifying piece of information.

It’s not right to call Kristi Noem a dumb bitch. However, we should be allowed to tell her to **** *******. In absence of the latter, I understand why people resort to the former.

I agree that we shouldn’t be racist/misogynist/transphobic/ableist/etc to Trump stooges. The problem is that saying what we should say about them is… uh… discouraged…
