Yusuf/Cat Stevens: great in the music department, not so hot in the ethics department. [sigh]
One little petty thing that turns me against Cat Stevens from his autobiography -- he spent decades insisting that people not call him "Cat Stevens" (he's now OK with it or I wouldn't) yet he casually deadnames Wendy Carlos when talking about records he liked in the late sixties.

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."

It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Today is a day of service. It's also a day to think about MLK and honor his legacy.

“One resident in Tehran said that last week he had witnessed riot police directly shooting at a group of protesters, who were mostly young men and women. Videos circulating on social media … have shown security forces crushing demonstrations across the country.”
Iran warns against any US strike as judiciary hints at unrest-linked executions
Iran's judiciary indicated that it might order executions, saying it identified some actions as Mohareb, an Islamic legal term meaning to wage war against God.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

*Almost all.
To my knowledge, only 2 are unambiguous on this:
- AOC is the only one explicitly saying "abolish ICE",
- Maxwell Frost is calling for zeroing out ICE/reassigning key duties elsewhere w/o using the term (even though thats exactly what "Abolisb ICE" is)
That's it. That's the list.

What they do is, they’ll put your legal name on the passport (if your name has been legally changed in your state, they’ll respect that) but if they have means of determining your sex-assigned-at-birth, that’s what your sex marker is gonna be.
Question for other trans folks who've gotten passports recently, if DoS decides they don't like the gender you picked do they just change it or do they contact you about redoing it?

Sooz here reiterating the point that trans folk have been making for years. Being anti-trans is a litmus test for how you feel about other important issues.
This is the kind of allyship that I appreciate. Someone who listens to us and uses their voice to make us heard.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
