I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) is just one of numerous interesting variations on how bodies can grow, but it was a useful re-calibration example for me. We may love sharply delineated conceptual categories, but arbitrary forced “binaries” fail to contend with biological complexity

Gonna get geeky for a moment: parsing headlines like the AP one quoted here, which uses the ambiguous word “draws” (elicits? outlines?) exhausts me. I wonder if (suspect?) the ambiguity is purposeful, to force a click if I want to understand what they’re saying. I resents it, I does.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders

SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

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.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.
