#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state.

I'm sure they'll start in immediately. Every time they have 'success' they push further the sleazy fucks.

How can they be stopped? -
#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).
The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.
Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

@alice considering distances & (lack of)infrastructure of public transport in USamerica, this means most will not be able to legally show up for work or get food. So not only is this fascist controll & discrimination it takes away their ability to live. Wow. USA has become worse than any 3rd world rogue state. A place to avoid as a sane person, only good for child abuser, rapists & drug lords.

@munin and you *know* once they're making solid progress wiping out trans folx and immigrants, they'll start into Black folx, women, and the rest of the queers.
@alice
Many people don't strive to end this until they're direct victims There are many black folks and immigrants that think it's non of their business. What can be done to stop them? -

@alice oh look, another state I'll never step foot into ever again. Another "I told ya so" for my family who keep saying I'm overreacting.
First it's POC and trans people. Guess who's next?
And I'm gonna keep saying this next part till my cassandra syndrome kills me:
Voting won't get us out of this. It's too late. Action must be done. Nobody voted Hitler out of office. Ballots didn't remove Mussolini from power. Y'all are gonna get your hands dirty before the end. You've been warned. -
@juergen_hubert @swaldman @alice USAmericans need to stay and clean up the mess they created for themselves. There isn't enough room in Europe to host half their population. USAmericans have not done enough to prevent this, now they need to get up their lazy asses & stop this desaster. You don't want to hear this I am sure, yet this is the reality.

@alice Republicans: if it's what the German government did with "undesirables" circa 1935, sounds great!

Look, while I can understand this sentiment, there are plenty of Americans who _aren't_ complete assholes and who are not in any way responsible for this mess.

Why the US people haven't physically dragged tRump and his sycophants from the White House and hanged them yet is beyond me! He is literally killing people!@lemonlolita
Nearly half the voting population is actually quite ok with this. -

@alice I regularly think about the people and places around Kansas City I miss. The current politics there leave me with the feeling I'll never see them again in person.

@weirdone Under this law, any DL that has a gender marker different from your birth certificate becomes invalid TODAY. Use of it incurs a fine, and can also include jail time. It also incurs an automatic 90-day suspension, and if you violate that, a mandatory minimum 5 days in jail.
@wesdym I've seen that already.

@juergen_hubert @swaldman @alice I do know. I have lived in USA, have family & friends in USA I very much love. Yet, everyone who let this happen either by voting, or especially by NOT voting, or by ignoring, or by avoiding political talks with MAGA supporters is guilty. That would be everyone. Nothing will change if the "good ones" flee. It needs the good ones to stay and fight. Fact: we have no room in Europe to take them all in. Housingcrisis. Fleeing JUST relocates the problem to Europe.

I hate this line of reasoning because this is the _exact_ same argument made by German right-wing politicians for why Syrian refugees should return to Syria.
It's easy to say that others should fight for their rights if you are not part of the marginalized group that is being oppressed.

@juergen_hubert IMO it is very much different. SYR's couldn't have prevented what came upon them. They couldn't have changed anything except for dying vs being alife. USAmericans are the only ones who can end the regime they brought upon themselves. If half of them flee now it is out of convenience, not need. No one ould be left to stand up & you will have an even more devastating situation for them & the world. Research the market sit. in Europe before suggesting to move here. @swaldman @alice

@juergen_hubert sign limit 2/2: ~1.3 Mio SYR refugess came to Europe within 12 years, this is doable. It worked. You now POTENTIALLY have ~170 Mio USAmericans wanting to flee USA. Europe has a housing and job crisis as it is. Inviting them on students visa is short sighted & 1 single solution for 1 single person, it floods all social systems & will consequently breaking health care, social support, flood the streets with homeless ppl.

@alice How is this not a terror campaign? "We know who you are and where you live, today we're taking away your license to drive and we can take more tomorrow".

@alice This is insane. First of all the 6 months thing. _At worst_ such a thing should count as driving without a license on your person, as the person impacted definitely has a valid driving permission - they just "lack" the "proper" license card on their person. Like, nothing there invalidates the driving test they've taken, it's just about the card.
But that they bring on the same punishment as for someone who never had passed a driving test, that's outrageously insane.
And yes, I understand that by the letter of the law, those two are indeed the same - if you possess no valid license card, that's the same as never having had the driving test.
I should add that the pre-existing law is also already very much broken, as one can be punished by 90 days of jail for having _lost_ one's license card. Seriously?
You know what the punishment in Germany is for this kind of stuff:
- Not having your license on you: 10 euros
- Having an expired or otherwise administratively invalid driver's license card on you: 10 euros (it's literally the same offense as having forgotten to take it with you)
- Driving without the privilege to drive: up to 1 yearThe worst part is that it's basically _guaranteed_ they'll use the maximum possible punishment against people they "don't like"...
