We're currently urging the government to issue guidance on how they'll comply with the court order that trans and intersex people must receive accurate passports.
We urge you to hold off on seeking to obtain a new passport for now. We'll provide more guidance as soon as possible.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

BREAKING: What you just witnessed was a state-sanctioned kidnapping. These people aren’t identifying themselves. Citizens can no longer distinguish between state authority & rogue violence.
This is not a warning about what might come. We are not watching the start of something. We are living it.

When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit.
Governor Kotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care.
Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.
