Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

Transgender adults in Kansas have received letters ordering them to surrender their drivers licenses until they obtain a new one with a marker reflecting their sex assigned at birth.

Their current licenses are now invalid.

There are lots of photos of this online. Mark, Jackson & I were at the head of the march. In front of us were dozens of photographers duck-walking backwards, snapping pictures of us. One of them landed in the Chronicle the next day, a half-page photo.

Thank you for this beautiful article, Peter, and for your support for Rev. Jackson. His vision of a Rainbow Coalition is even more relevant today. ❀️

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.

Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.

Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists β€” including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Someday your collection of drawings will be a priceless historical document in an archive, because you hand-write & hand-dented a first draft of history as it was happening.

This is so dangerous. Trump never believed in the Constitution, that was only an act while he was running for president.

If there isn’t an URGENT check on his powers, we are cooked. And every sitting representative and senator, or anyone running for office, needs to be prepared to take this on.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

A Book of Lost Songs – HISTRIA BOOKS This picaresque tale, shot through with echoes of troubadour poetry, follows one man’ s journey and disillusionment in a world of brutality.

San Franciscans!
As the city emerges from the darkness of the wkend blackout, please wrap up up your holiday shopping at local stores that lost power this wkend. Losing out on their busiest shopping days of the year hurt many small businesses. Let’s help our neighbors. πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„
