ICYMI, the state of Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of 1,000+ ppl whose gender markers did not match their assigned sex at birth. These markers had been legally changed.
There was no grace period. It's now illegal for them to drive to the DMV to get a new license (w/ incorrect gender).
The most tone deaf detail is the Core Civic statement that it says some of the kids’ artworks are “‘proudly displayed’ throughout the facility.”
So they’re proudly displaying pictures of sad faces and families behind a wire fence, and words that say “I want to go home.”
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Trans Kansan's being stripped of their licenses due to having previously - legally - changed their gender marker is absolutely shocking.
A person who misses the letter - let's they moved and forgot to have their mail forwarded - could drive to work and be arrested for driving without a license.
“Elections are approaching in which millions of people plan to cast their ballots by mail. Thomas’s opinion puts that mail — and those voters — at risk.”

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!
