BREAKING: A federal judge finds Trump’s order banning transgender people from getting accurate passports is likely unconstitutional. The court ordered the State Department to allow correct gender markers for our clients as we continue to argue until this order is blocked for everyone.

From the short story “The Nonsense Machine” by Gracie Newman in Mississippi Review 52.3
