I predict that this is going to become a much more common problem if people cannot get the correct gender marker on their ID. We will instantly out ourselves as trans. This was a problem for me when I started looking male but couldn't change my ID yet. I got accused of stealing credit cards, etc.

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

This story dropping today of all days is deeply hilarious to me. The ruling didn't even last 7 hours before being exposed as patently absurd

For the sake of journalistic integrity, I must note that Riley Gaines actually tied for 5th place at the 2022 swim meet that has now defined her entire adult life. I regret the error, but she's still a loser.

makes sense. what the administration wants more than anything is to completely pollute the information environment with as much nonsense and propaganda as they and their allies, foreign and domestic, can pump out

These battles are being fought by groups like @transupfrontil.bsky.social “Trans Up Front IL organized a concerted response to the anti-trans attacks, filling the room to capacity, with more people waiting outside, in support of the trans middle-schooler. And the truth.” They deserve our support

NEW: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for their decision not to turn the planes around on March 15. He orders them either to fix their mistake or identify who made those decisions (presumably for further sanctions).

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The level of injustice is just so extreme They had a hearing about what rights, what freedoms, what future trans people have... without a single trans person being involved, yet multiple with hate groups They decided we don't deserve equality. Then said "no one won"

this is what they really believe. they see an innocent man trafficked across borsers to endure slave labor for the rest of his life and think: “fighting for this man is a trap. fighting to overturn injustice is a trap. we’re only here to protect the money.” these men will never fight for us.

Orwell couldn’t have named this disgraceful bill any better. It’s a voter suppression measure that could disenfranchise millions of Americans — and disproportionately harm married women and trans ppl.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
