In 1975, Ann Arbor was the 1st city in the US to use Ranked Choice Voting to elect a mayor. Dr. Wheeler was the 1st Black tenured professor at the University of Michigan and only Black #A2Council mayor to date. But just months later, opponents moved to repeal RCV and silence the will of the voters:

The ICAO is who you need to lobby if you want to remove gender from all passports altogether, which is why American trans activists have largely focused on the ability to update/change your gender marker
In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

Linear height limits don’t just incentivize low ceilings, they also discourage lower-carbon construction like this. Squeezed between cutting 25% of a building’s floors or going to post-tensioned concrete, the choice is obvious even when max profit isn’t the goal.
Regulate by floor count, instead.

Concrete is not T.I.N.A. (there is no alternative)

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.
The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Trans people make up 1-3% of American society depending on definitions (nonbinary, trans, etc).
That is enough to swing multiple close swing state elections.
Democrats should not nominate an anti-trans Democrat.

If there's one thing that getting yelled at all day for saying that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom in a hypothetical 2028 election has made me more sure of... it's that I will not be voting for Gavin Newsom (or any other politician who pushes anti-trans nonsense) in 2028 or any other year.

Yes, temperatures are rising. But more and more AC means more and more CO2 – and then more and more global heating. Let’s have some long-term thinking instead, writes Guardian columnist Emma Beddington

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

This is inhuman treatment and possibly even torture, in terms of international law.
The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.
We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.
This is inhumane and illegal.
