• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Boycott: People on the Left are ready to move to NYC to live under Zohran. They’re leaving red states as a way to boycott Trump and his supporters — and to try to financially drain those states.
They also want to use Zohran as an example to show the country that it’s “okay” to have a Muslim mayor leading a major U.S. city.

US Supreme Court allows Trump's passport policy targeting transgender people​

(Reuters) -The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Donald Trump's administration to bar applicants for U.S. passports from designating the sex reflecting their gender identities on the document, part of the Republican president's crackdown on the rights of transgender Americans.

The court granted the Justice Department's request to lift a judge's order that had blocked the policy requiring passports to correspond only to ‌a person's sex assigned at birth, while a class action lawsuit challenging the administration's action plays out.

The court's three liberal justices publicly dissented from the decision.

The administration's policy reverses ‌decades of practice at the U.S. State Department, which since 1992 had permitted passport sex designations to differ from sex assigned at birth with medical documentation.

Under Democratic President Joe Biden, the State Department in 2021 allowed passport applicants to self-select a male or female sex marker without such documentation, and added a third option "X" for nonbinary, intersex and gender non-conforming applicants.

Boston-based U.S. District Judge Julia Kobick in April found that the Trump administration policy likely discriminates based ⁠on sex and is rooted in "irrational prejudice" ‌toward transgender Americans in violation of their equal protection rights under U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment, and runs afoul of a law governing the actions of federal agencies.

A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to find the money by Friday to fully fund SNAP benefits for November.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. on Thursday was in response to a challenge from cities and nonprofits complaining that the administration was only offering to cover 65% of the maximum benefit.

“The defendants failed to consider the practical consequences associated with this decision to only partially fund SNAP,” McConnell said. “They knew that there would be a long delay in paying partial Snap payments and failed to consider the harms individual who rely on those benefits would suffer.”
