My state. I don't even know what to do while it's business as usual for almost everyone else here. But yes, if anyone knows of a creative writing/SFF or disability studies academic jobs in CA or elsewhere where we will have rights, this is a good time to DM me. Thanks.
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned
A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

ICE training was slashed, records show, corroborating whistleblower claims
Previously unreported records also offer new details about what was cut from ICE’s basic training program. Concerns about the quality of ICE agents’ training have mounted for months.

ICE-Gestapo killers were seen terrorizing a woman and her child today in Northeast Minneapolis today.
Abolishing ICE isn’t nearly good enough, we need to see many of them and their leaders in prison for assault, terrorism, crimes against humanity and murder.

Ashley would be 39 today.
A tireless worker, she was devoted to improving the outcomes for children in the foster care system and was a wonderful wife and mom.
Another AR15 in the hands of an unstable young man resulted in 5 deaths and countless destroyed lives.

While recent days have been marked by vaccine myths, we should not forget that this year in the US, we had the most measles cases in 3 decades.

Cannot stress enough that I would be dead if insurers were still able to refuse me insurance because of pre-existing conditions.
My best friend was able to leave her abusive husband because the ACA made it possible for her to still get health insurance

Dear MAGA cultists and anti #MedicareforAll folks,
There is no such thing as a low income, able-bodied young American, who refuses to work. They should still get universal healthcare, regardless of their employment status. Can we just cut the crap on this bullshit talking point?

Every six or so months, like clockwork, we are filing a complaint with Walgreens corporate. I think it's just long enough for it to fall off her file, or something. At this point I want her licence.
Without fail I have to report the pharmacist where I get my T every so often because she’s transphobic as shit and tries to block me getting my meds. Yes I could move it but I’d rather fight her than have her scare a kid barely out of their shell. #transmascproblems

NEW: Arkansas AG Tim Griffin sent a cease and desist letter to @plancpills.bsky.social for merely telling people where to find abortion pills—the site doesn’t prescribe them.
The letter was buried amid news that 16 GOP AGs asked Congress to override abortion shield laws. Me in @autonomynews.co:
