Kansas revoked 1,700 transgender drivers' licenses. Some are leaving the state. The state's move to retroactively cancel licenses and birth certificates is part of a nationwide escalation of restrictions on the legal recognition of transgender people.

the only horror stories I have is how sad I feel for dogs whose owners drag them to a loud bar; dogs have sensitive hearing!!

How Legal Immigration Became a Deportation Trap Under Trump, the Homeland Security agency responsible for processing visas and green cards has become a site for easy arrests.
