The regime just announced that they’re going to refuse new Medicaid and Medicare claims for medical equipment for the next six months–meaning, among other things, they plan to let people who need ventilators, oxygen tanks, insulin pumps, etc., simply die.
In Buffalo, NY, government goons beat and tasered an elderly blind refugee (in the US legally, as if that matters) who got lost, for not understanding English–then dumped him bruised, battered, and traumatized, miles from his home in sub-freezing weather, without notifying his family. He died.
In Minnesota, ICE has resorted to “Starlight tours.” As in, dropping detainees in the middle of the forest with no coats in subzero weather in the middle of the night to freeze them to death. Fortunately, there are citizen groups monitoring the woods for exactly that sort of thing, who rescued them.
In my home state of Kansas, all trans people have just had their drivers licenses revoked, and were told if they’re caught driving (like, to work, etc.), they’ll be arrested.

Yeah, corporate media isn’t reporting on the starlight tours, because go figure. But I’ll take the word of people I know personally who actually live there. (And I know you weren’t trying to cast doubt, just fact-checking, which I appreciate.)
This also means their passports (if they have a passport) will no longer match their other ID. What do you think happens when you try to cross a border and the marker on your passport doesn’t match your gender presentation or your other ID?
Also: I read the initial healthcare announcement wrong: It’s a moratorium on SUPPLIER approvals. Still bad, but not as horrific as I’d first thought.
