New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free

The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

"New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

"If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans

The ACLU has warned that transgender people risk losing access to their passport and supporting documents if they apply to update their gend

The State Department is no longer issuing U.S. passports with “X” gender markers and has suspended processing all applications from Americans seeking to update their passports with a new gender marker. This suspension, made in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order signaling his administration’s opposition to gender diversity, affects all transgender and nonbinary Americans, including those currently traveling or overseas. 

The agency says that it will issue guidance on previously issued passports with an “X” marker and that more information will be available on its travel website. However, no formal policy has been released, which is fueling confusion among trans and nonbinary people trying to update their documents. 

The American Civil Liberties Union has warned trans and nonbinary Americans that if they submit a new application to change the gender marker on their passport, they risk losing access to their passport and supporting documents while their application is being processed. An ACLU spokesperson attributed this information to reports of discrimination received through the organization’s online intake form, as well as direct conversations with people who have described this happening to them.
