Kansas Revokes IDs for 1,000+ Transgender Residents Under New State Law More than 1,000 transgender Kansas residents have had their driver's licenses and birth certificates invalidated under a new state law that took effect Thursday. The legislation requires gender marker...

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

Following American air strikes on Iranian soil, President Trump brings us one step closer to extended war in the Middle East again.

These strikes on Iran aren't America first, they are essentially America alone, without our allies at our side.

Unmasking Academe’s Gilded Boys’ Club The Epstein files reveal an elite, chummy, and venal scholarly network.

I’m quoted quite a bit here so perhaps I’m biased but I feel this is a good run down of what the Epstein files tell us about how power works in academia. with some good commentary from @jessicacalarco.com, too:

A headline screen captured from the Guardian featuring an image of Donald Trump. Headline reads: "Trump says he will order the release of Pentagon files on aliens and UFOs"

Seriously tho, alien conspiracy has been used by the US government in the past to distract from military operations and of course domestic politics.

Kicking off my new series, "It’s Not Rocket Science."

I’m an astronautical engineer, but you don’t need advanced degrees to know the status quo isn’t working.

This week: how immigrants really do make America great.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Look if I let myself start crying about all the women, especially women of color, that I saw pushed out of physics and astronomy by people who subscribe to sexist and racist views, I truly might never stop

The things I saw and heard

the grief feels enormous and bottomless

This episode is important. I signed up for and completed Legal Observer training with the ACLU via Mobilize last Wednesday. If we want that Star Trek, we have to actively participate in creating it, and that means playing a vital role in protecting protestors and our freedom.

That feeling of "what can I do?": Eddie Phanichkul comes on the Trektivism podcast to talk about becoming a legal observer of law enforcement interactions with civilians. Thanks to Eddie for sharing his training and experiences. @eddiep.bsky.social

Eddie Phanichkul is a trained legal observer - a role which documents interactions between law enforcement and citizens. With ICE deployments in Minneapolis and the use of lethal militarized force against civilians, we explore legal observation as a way to push back.
