One of the scariest aspects of the tenure of The Orange Man is the total disregard for the Law. He not only thinks he is above it all, but he encourages all his MAGA sycophants to do the same. We may be at war; people may be simultaneously simply trying to exist within an outrageous cost of living; but it will not stop those with political power from focusing on ruining the lives of all those who do not worship them.

Today it’s the state of Kansas that is in our sights. They have taken it upon themselves to overnight void 1700 drivung licences of transgender drivers. So now, in a lawsuit backed by the ACLU of Kansas, intersex and transgender residents seek to block a sweeping law that invalidated their driver’s licenses. It targets licenses bearing gender markers that differ from a person’s sex assigned at birth and restricts restroom use in government buildings.  However, it just doesn’t stop them, as plaintiffs told The Washington Post; the ID requirement has exposed them to scrutiny in ordinary interactions, even after they complied with the law.
