As Kansas no-notice, no-grace-period revokes trans peoples' IDs and birth certificates, many people are looking to relocate to other states. But how long until everywhere in the US is Kansas?

But then again, how long until everywhere in the world is Kansas?

It's hard to know, impossible really, but the US sure seems heading there on a fast path.

I know a lot of people are counting on the midterms to turn things around. But there's near zero chance the losing side is going to believe the outcome of the election.

Jan 6th under Trump 1 was a hell of a thing. What about under Trump 2? Hard to imagine an outcome that doesn't escalate from cold to hot civil war, but maybe I'm just jaded or not very imaginative.

Shit times. Wish I had better answers.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Seems like this law is easily challengeable, given the purpose of a DL is to accurately identify the driver.

Oh look the ACLU has already filed suit [February 27, 2026]:
"Today’s lawsuit challenging SB 244 was filed in the District Court of Douglas County on behalf of anonymous Plaintiffs Daniel Doe and Matthew Moe by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Kansas, and Ballard Spahr LLP. The lawsuit charges that SB 244 violates the Kansas Constitution’s protections for personal autonomy, privacy, equality under the law, due process, and freedom of speech."
