I'm sorry to remind everyone of the existence of hte worst magazine in America, but Kansas is literally taking away trans' people's driver's licenses, and the Atlantic has decided to publish a thumbsucker about whether effeminate boys are feeling pressured to transition

New from myself and @paisleycurrah.com -- Kansas's SB 244 criminalized compliance nearly overnight. It's also yet another instance where states try to claim we don't exist while simultaneously tracking us.

NEW: SCOTUS partially grants the request in Mirabelli v. Bonta, relating to California policies protecting against forced outing of trans students by teachers to parents, over the dissent of the Democratic appointees. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25A810
ELIZABETH MIRABELLI, ET AL. U. ROB BONTA,
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION TO VACATE INTERLOCUTORY STAY ORDER
[March 2, 2026]
PER CURIAM.
Before us is an application to vacate a Court of Appeals order staying a permanent injunction entered by a District Court on behalf of parents and teachers who claim that certain California policies violate their rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The parents object that these policies prevent schools from telling them about their children's efforts to engage in gender transitioning at school unless the children consent to parental notifi-cation. The parents also take issue with California's requirement that schools use children's preferred names and pronouns regardless of their parents' wishes. The teachers object to their compelled participation in the implementation of the State's policies.When the Ninth Circuit stayed the injunction, the parents and teachers filed this application seeking vacatur of the Ninth Circuit's stay pending appeal.
II
We grant the application and vacate the stay with respect to the parents because this aspect of the stay is not "justi-fied under the governing four-factor test." Alabama Assn. of Realtors v. Department of Health and Human Serus., 594 U.S. 758, 763 (2021) (per curiam) (citing Nken v. Holder,
556 U. S. 418, 434 (2009)).

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

The REAL reason so many Democrats are upset about entitlements (social security, medical, etc) fraud investigations is that they are using your taxpayer money as handouts to attract and retain ILLEGAL immigrants. Their future voters.
That's what it's all about.

Dr. Saeed Joudeh came out of retirement to provide medical care as an orthopedic surgeon in northern Gaza. Days ago, his son was killed by an Israeli airstrike targeting their home. Dr. Joudeh held a sign pleading to the world for help. An Israeli sniper shot him in the head today and killed him.
