1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program. Then Sinai followed a few days ago. There are immediate steps Mamdani can take, and he refuses to do so. When asked about those steps, his office has chosen not to comment repeatedly. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Dem Peter Chatzky is running for Congress in New York, and I’m proud to call him my good friend. #NY17

i hope more people are aware that the mass targeting to remove trans people out of public life is both violence against an oppressed minority but also has a strongly political bent, since trans people are often integral members of liberal & leftist organizing institutions

Newsom is not an ally. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Neighboring states need to make some of emergency proclamation to wave this for trans people coming from kansas.

So they are not allowed to vote now? They will come up with schemes to take away drivers license & the right to vote. One of the leaders of Trump’s Jan 6th insurrection is a trans women.

Doesn't this classify as an ex post facto law Which isn't legal? Since in essence it takes what was legally done previously but is retroactively attempting to go back and criminalize it?

That clearly breaches section 1 of the 14th Amendment on interstate travel. For which they can sue. If they have a RealID not just driving license, it’s unlikely the state could invalidate that because it would breach their federal rights. Other states have to accept them. @normeisen.bsky.social

it's very funny when you tell them to fund the people who need to escape and they get mad and block you for it great values you have there

This works in tandem with federal and state government plans to force ID into the Internet. Making it impossible for trans people to ask for help. Dems are spearheading it as well framing as opposition as predators.

Hours After Trump’s SOTU Rant Against Trans Kids, House Republicans Introduce Nationwide School ‘Don’t Say Trans’ & Book Ban Bill Defining Trans People as “Sexually Explicit” transitics.substack.... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

This thread is now dedicated to organizing aid for trans refugees If you need help or have help to offer, please @ me Instructions and updates to follow in below 🧵 www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

If you need help convincing a cisgender person that trans people face a serious threat, here’s a good statistic 400,000 of us have moved to a different state in the last 1.5 years There are maybe about 3-5 million transfolk in the USA? So between 1 in 8 and 1 in 10 of us bsky.app/profile/rach...

Another good resource if you are looking to flee your state is Trans Resistance Network They are privacy conscious and operate nationall www.transresistancenetwork.org

Another good trans relocation org in the Seattle area is Project Open Arms under Traction As with KOI, they are looking for funding and volunteers, especially people willing and able to lend couches for folks If you are fleeing Kansas or Idaho to WA state, try them tractionpnw.org/open-arms/

If you are #trans and looking to flee to the Seattle area from Kansas, I recommend KOI, a 501c3 running out of the state of Washington that helps refugees fleeing to Seattle find temporary housing and resettle koinitiative.org

Finally, a message to PHAROH TRUMP, Gavin Newsom, the owners of the NYT and The Atlantic, JK Rowling, Jesse Singal and all the other bloody handed bandits who sacrifice trans children upon their altar of tyranny for money and power LET MY PEOPLE GO!

I don’t have legal advice for trans people in Kansas yet, but the 14th amendment is supposed to prohibit having a DL seized without due process If there is an injunction, surrendering their DLs could be a mistake. I don’t know though If you have legal advice please reply

TC Pipeline is a trans relocation org located in Colorado which is near Kansas It would be helpful if you could signal boost them. They could use funding and volunteers, and trans folks in Kansas may want to contact them if they need extraction Also: the letters sent may be illegal tcpipeline.org

I have a thread where I am compiling resources and instructions for both tabs people in Kansas and people who want to help I’d love a boost 💕 bsky.app/profile/hyen...

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

hey, remember when the transphobes started coming for gender-affirming care for minors and it was framed as “concern for children” and trans folks said “lol they just want us to not exist” and our society full of rubes and people with turnips for brains took the transphobes’ arguments at face value

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

If you haven't observed Democrats attacking trans people or homeless people, may I suggest you need to read more widely.

This is what Newsom - every shitlib's favorite presumptive nominee - just said about Trans people and same-sex marriage. Read. The. Damn. Room. www.cnn.com/2026/02/23/p...

Because Democrats are just as bad for homeless and trans people as Republicans are.

If Dems can't stand with the most vulnerable people in the country, but can support ethnic cleansing & genocide, they can't be trusted to stand for anything. Dems made lost on every issue. Why are you trying to shame voters for criticizing Democrats two years before a presidential election?

??? the democrats sold us out, it's not both sidesing anything it's the truth

Newsom can’t even support a billionaire tax in California to support public services. Nurses on strike. Teachers on strike. What an empty piece of hair.

Newsom invited press to a homeless encampment throw away event. The lib version of GWB chainsawing 2-inch scrub brush to show how cowboy he is. Like moths to the light.

Because Newsom is doing this as we speak

You are deeply misunderstanding what "blue MAGA" is. Let me help you out. If you've ever said "vote blue no matter who", you're blue MAGA. If you refuse to hold your party to accountability, you're blue MAGA.

Because Newsom - a Dem who is openly anti-trans & anti-unhoused - is trying to position himself as "The" Democratic candidate for presidency? Because Buttigieg - a Dem who thinks anti-trans people have "legitimate concerns" - is super popular? Yeah, R's are so much worse but D's in power can suck.

Trans rights are human rights and there's no compromising on this, you either help us push the Dems left or just admit you don't give a shit if trans people get thrown under the bus.

If I didn't want my party to be compared to the Republicans, I would simply try to meaningfully distinguish myself from them with things like boldly progressive policies, never ever supporting any GOP issue or nominee under any circumstances, etc.

You have Gavin fucking newsom literally saying this week that dems need to give up protecting trans people and focus on real issues

Maybe Newsom vetoing a half dozen trans healthcare bills and then having Ben Shapiro on his podcast to talk about trans rights while he is being pushed as a presidential candidate by democrats has something to do with it

If all these haters really wanted to “protect women” they would send Andrew Tate back to America, sincerely & rapidly investigate the entire Epstein files, and stop telling girls it’s their own responsibility to prevent sexual assault from happening to them.

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

So this also confirms how easily state bases have a list of all trans people, something we suspected but didn’t have solid confirmation of how easily they could use those lists till now. Great.

I think they'll eventually start killing their own for being the wrong denomination.

8. The Kansas letters arrive amid an accelerating nationwide campaign to strip transgender people of accurate identification documents. The Trump administration has barred transgender Americans from obtaining passports that reflect their gender identity, a policy the Supreme Court allowed.

6. The consequences for noncompliance could escalate quickly. Under Kansas law, driving without a valid license is a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine—though first-time offenders are more likely to face a citation and fine.

3. Should any transgender person be caught driving without a valid license, they could face a class B misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Kansas already requires county jails to house inmates according to sex assigned at birth. www.kcur.org/politics-ele...

2. The letter, which has been reported to Erin In The Morning by a Kansas-based activist, states that under House Substitute for Senate Bill 244, Kansas trans people must immediately surrender their licenses.

1. Numerous transgender people in Kansas are reporting that the state has sent them a letter demanding the immediate surrender of drivers licenses. Those driving could be arrested, charged, and see privileges revoked. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump shared a lot of things, including the name for their respective command centers: the “Oval Office.” However, for Epstein, it's where his "girls" kept their purses and prepped for Little St. James; packages for Woody Allen's wife were assembled.
