Earlier today I watched Lambda Legal's online info session on gender markers & passports. In this thread I'll give a brief summary of some of their main points. 1. If you have a current passport on which you've previously changed your gender marker, it's still valid. Even the State Dept says so.

Another reason that comparing the current situation to "Idiocracy" is completely wrongheaded. (For anyone who's forgotten, the basic premise of the movie is that the US degenerated because poor rural yokels had too many kids and rich urban yuppies too few. It's overtly classist and eugenicist.)

So excited for this but also a little sad because this kind of feels like the last star war I will ever be interested in (and that’s ok! I’m almost 40! I didn’t think we’d have anything past 2005! Not everything is for me! But still 😭)

I'm obligated to Complicate This A Little by mentioning that Trump used "Do You Hear the People Sing?" as campaign music once and @whatsoperadoc.bsky.social wrote an article about it. Republicans think they're the true Les Mis understanders and Trump loves megamusicals! www.jstor.org/stable/10.54...

Trump's Kennedy Center canceled a concert planned for May 21 that was to feature the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC, performing alongside the National Symphony Orchestra. No explanation was given.

Nearly 1,000 people marched in the snow from the State House in Boston to City Hall, chanting “Elon Musk has got to go” and “No kings on Presidents Day!” The temperature was below freezing with wind chills in the teens.

For most of my life, the dominant liberal attitude was that feminist inquiry into private life was vulgar and dangerous—that nothing done between ostensibly consenting adults could be political. This was naive, and in its hostility to inquiry, it was also anti-intellectual.

People who refuse to sanitize what’s going on, who’s in charge on the Right, how extreme their goals are, tend to be discarded as “alarmists” or “hysterics.” Those who sanitize it all are upheld as “reasonable” voices. As a result, the broader public perception constantly underestimates the threat.

Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered "bad" in the Catholic tradition
