For over 150 years, trans people have used courts to change legal sex. While writing Before Gender, I found what may be the first case in the US: a formerly enslaved trans woman in Georgia in 1869. Her story shows that trans people found legal support long before the word transgender even existed.

incredible how many universities find anti-genocide protests to be more dangerous than literal rapists.
Nearly 80 students have been disciplined, with some being fully expelled, over pro-Palestine protests on campus.
Why is Columbia University expelling pro-Palestine students?

Q: “How can we ensure due process if we’re not allowed to know the names and charges?”
NOEM: *word salad* 🥗
200+ people were snatched by ICE in NASHVILLE — Kristi Noem sheds no further light on who or why, just unconvincingly says “we’re following the law” over + over again.

Glad to hear he is safe and back with his family. But if they can disappear a U.S. citizen and terrorize his family this way, imagine what they are doing with immigrants in ICE facilities.

Let’s not forget: Trump promised he would go after “criminal” migrants. But instead he’s targeting farm workers who labor to put food on all our tables.

A Massachusetts lawmaker has proposed a bill that would ban law enforcement officers — local, state or federal — from wearing masks and personal disguises while on duty.
The ban would not apply to surgical or N95 respirators.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
