Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

And any trans person arrested under this will be placed in units of their sex assigned at birth. For trans women, this means v coding, rape, and sexual assault. They'll also be denied access to hormones and forced to detransition. I can't begin to tell you just how cruel all this is.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

The EO attempting to restrict gender-affirming care also directed states and the DOJ to prioritize enforcing bans on female genital mutilation and cutting. Since then, anti-FGM/C advocates have found their urgent work to protect kids derailed by anti-trans policies. 19thnews.org/2025/10/anti...

Anti-trans policies aren't preventing genital mutilation — they're disrupting efforts to stop it
The bipartisan movement against female genital mutilation and cutting is being co-opted by anti-trans activists, hindering urgent laws from being passed.

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people. Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Call it what it is: TORTURE Saying "conversion therapy" is like saying "pro-life". There's nothing therapeutic about abusing emotional vulnerability to encourage self-harm. Choose words carefully, otherwise we'll be stuck in an endless debate filled with inherently invalid arguments and bad faith.

After announcing that we had LEGAL FIREARMS in the car we had guns drawn on us !!!! I'll be going live tomorrow, to actually be one who host Gun Seminars and classes on how to stay alive during a traffic stop and to be a victim of a rage police officer while celebrating and protecting the CHAMP is insane!!!

Precious McKesson on Facebook posts:
I want to be clear that what happened the early hours this morning to Terence Crawford and Qasim C. Shabazz Asad, and passengers who were pulled over by the Omaha Police Department with guns drawn, is unacceptable and concerning. I say this because Bud's car windows aren't tinted, and they saw his face clearly and knew who he was. I have all the confidence that our Mayor John W. Ewing, Jr. will ask for a full investigation into this, and that the police officer who did this will be held accountable for his excessive actions. I stand by these words: not all police officers are bad, and those who abuse their power will be held accountable for their actions. Let the champ, Qasim, and Mayor have their discussions about this incident and we follow their lead.Nebraska state law usually mandates informing law enforcement that one is in possession of a concealed firearm. These people followed the law and were abused for it, probably because the cops are ignorant bigots and don't even know the law themselves.

Nebraska Revised Statute 28-1202.04:
(2) Except as provided in subsection (5) of this section, whenever a person who is carrying a concealed handgun is contacted by a peace officer or by emergency services personnel, the person shall immediately inform the peace officer or emergency services personnel that the person is carrying a concealed handgun.

(5) A person is not required to comply with subsections (2) and (3) of this section if:

(a) Such person is storing or transporting a handgun in a motor vehicle for any lawful purpose or transporting a handgun directly to or from a motor vehicle to or from any place where such handgun may be lawfully possessed or carried by such person; and

(b) Such handgun is unloaded, kept separate from ammunition, and enclosed in a case.

Most of us can't tolerate the constant torment. I'm not a writer or reporter, but my feed will cover such content, because I believe gathering it in one place and informing people is too important in a time when history is being erased and educational material is being destroyed.

Thank you for your post. Please understand that transgender is not a verb or noun. The term is only ever trans or transgender, as an adjective. I began transitioning, but I was never 'transgendered'. I agree that they won't tell us when they discover he's right- wing. They probably already know.

Bluesky moderation reminds me of centrists where they believe speaking against bigotry is just as bad as the bigotry itself. They possess 'stupid compassion' by tolerating the intolerant and enabling fascism to spread. It's to the point that trans people are starting to migrate to a new platform.
