If you are #trans and a US citizen, you should absolutely, 100% apply for a passport this year, whether you plan to travel or not. Yes, it costs $$, but you can self-select your gender without bureaucratic BS (thanks, Joe), and it lasts 10 years and is valid ID everywhere in the world. Whatever fascist laws your GOP reps are proposing in your state legislature about gender markers on IDs, you will have a federal document that reflects your actual gender. And if necessary, you can use it to leave the country.

If I were in charge of all assets of the Kremlin this is how I would want them to reframe the argument in a more pro-Russia stance

Make this sound as if Ukraine is trying to dictate US policy to then rile up the two-toothed Republican base

Musk is a Russian asset and my tax dollars do not need to keep lining his pockets. ัั‚ะพ ะฒัั‘.

This mental health stuff is a huge deal, and Iโ€™m super proud to work at a company that is investing in this.
@siracusa enjoy your new machine!!!
One big way you can tell you tell that you hate the children you pretend to care about is if you're more concerned about drag queens than a million kids falling back into poverty because Republicans killed the child tax credit.
