Idaho Is Ground Zero of Republicans’ Escalating War on Trans People Ten years ago, bathroom bans inspired boycotts and celebrity opposition. Where’s the national outrage now?

Idaho has the most punitive anti-trans bathroom ban in the country, with up to five years in prison for a second offense. I spoke to the folks pushing back—over what just a few years ago led to calls for boycotts, the state legislature shamed on the national stage—on how they fight.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.

Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

'Dangerous' bill inviting government censorship passes House committee The American Library Association condemns the March 17, 2026, passage of H.R. 7661 by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

ALA is disappointed that the House Committee on Education & Workforce moved forward dangerous federal book banning legislation yesterday. HR 7661 contains vague, confusing, and overly broad language, inviting government censorship.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Fun fact: I started going grey in my 20s and when I quit the weirdly stressful job and moved out of a city I hated, it went back to brown (and I was lowkey disappointed)
