(Let me be clear, my former doc is not EVEN the refugee-leaving-US close to me I'm angriest about. Just the most recent.)

TFW your doctor (pedantically: primary care provider) who helped you through some Very Hard Shit leaves the country as a refugee.

(Do not even comment, or I may do something stupid. My anger is white hot.)

I do not know where the source is, but I wholly agree with this. #art #aiart #fuckai

If DOS was so good, why did they never make a TRES?

Many of you know that the administration is trying a lot of fuckery with US Passports and gender markers right now. They violated the Administrative Procedure Act by doing this without a comment period.

Right now, they are trying to cure the APA violation by having an after-the-fact comment period...

... you can go there RIGHT NOW and make your voice heard. The comments currently are overwhelmingly negative, opposing the administration's bigoted and harmful rule changes.

If you can, please go add your voice. You may think it will make no difference, but the courts can and will look at all of this. Your comment RIGHT NOW opposing passport sex marker nonsense can make you a part of yet another inevitable Trump loss in the court systems soon.
