Taking away the freedom of movement from a targeted minority? Seems familiar.

      Interracial Marriage too, easy-peasy to set up: “We have intelligence reports that REALLY BAD TERRORISTS are using marriage to immigrate into the USA, so we are now investigating every marriage between native citizens (whites) and people of other nationality (not white) and invalidating marriage certificates so we can kick these baby-eating monsters out of the country!”

      edit: I’m really not kidding here, I am getting called a fearmonger for this prediction the same way I was called a fearmonger about warning they would repeal Roe Vs Wade and make their own paramilitary federal brute squad/police force. But they JUST announced that they would be ramping up de-naturalization efforts up with a monthly quota of thousands of people per month having their citizenship revoked, as opposed to this being an exceptionally rare thing only for fringe cases.

      The right wing keeps thinking if we just remove these people it will be better, when that doesn’t work, they move on to a new group over and over again until you’re the group that’s causing the problem and they remove you.

      lawmaker

      guilty of treason

      Paraphrasing the words of Mark Carney at an absolutely bonkers world financial summit recently, the illusion of liberal rule-of-law is over.

      Lawmakers are above the law. We stopped caring if they represented our actual values so we started letting criminals run the prison.

    Blue states like Colorado should be making it easier for people stuck in the shithole states like Kansas to get CO driver’s licenses with accurate gender markers

        Common names are easy to parse gender until they’re not. I just met an elderly man named Courtney. My niece’s legal name is “Jaime”, which is a common male name amongst Mexicans. My elementary school had a Pat of both genders. Sam as well.

        Then there are names from other cultures that speak non-Germanic, non-romance languages. Good luck knowing Mandarin or Cantonese names by reading them. Same with some Irish and welsh names. Same with names from Africa.
