uspol, trans genocide

There's more, especially on the state level. Eg the Idaho house just passed a bathroom ban that bans trans use of bathrooms *in private businesses*, with mandatory enforcement by businesses, punishable by a $10k fine if a customer identifies a trans person in the bathroom. https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/politics-government/2026-02-17/idaho-house-passes-transgender-bathroom-ban

Kansas rolled out a bathroom bill that provides *bounty hunting*, where people are paid for turning in trans people who use the "wrong" (ie, right) bathroom https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/19/anti-trans-bathroom-bill-kansas/

I'm just saying. It's getting bad. It's worth knowing how bad.

Idaho House easily passes new transgender bathroom ban

Idaho House lawmakers want to force private businesses and government offices to ban transgender people from using the restroom aligned with their gender identity.
