Vance Boelter was an anti-transgender Christian Nationalist who delivered anti-queer sermons in the DRC, in case anyone was confused as to his political slant.

Several thousand protesters lined Ogden Avenue In this Chicago suburb today, sick of the MAGA regime, angry, but still having fun. It stretched for many blocks amid constant honks of encouragement from passing motorists.

We Dems organized, and we won. BIG. Not only in our township but all over DuPage County, Illinois.
And Justice Susan Crawford in Wisconsin!
What a relief!
For your own piece of mind, I suggest everyone find their local Dems or Indivisible chapter, and start showing up there. #activistjourney

In a long list of horribles, this is one of the most dangerous and irresponsible things coming out of the Trump White House. Tornado Cash exists to make it easier to launder money. Period.

A lot of thought and hard work went into these asterisks.
Our Township Dems have just placed asterisks on their website next to candidates who align with Dem values. There won't be Ds and Rs next to candidates' names on the ballot (except for the Township races), so this is an invaluable resource. #demsdeliver #dgtownship

Rep. Bill Keating gives a masterclass in standing up to bullies. Bravo! <3 him now
1. Finally some fight.
"Have you no decency!?" asked Rep. Keating after a Republican rep called Sarah McBride "Mr. McBride" repeatedly.
McBride shot back, calling the chairman "Madam Chairman."
Fireworks erupted, Dems protested, and the hearing was cancelled.

"Have You No Decency?": Republican Calls Sarah McBride "Mister," Dems Erupt And End Hearing
During a meeting of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a Republican representative, Rep. Keith Self, called transgender congresswoman the "gentleman from Delaware." Dems pushed back.

Every time one of these fascist f*cks does the 'sieg heil' — and this time it was Steve Bannon — (which I won't show as I've seen enough of that crap) — legacy media is 'Bannon appears to do a Nazi gesture.' There's nothing ambiguous about a Nazi salute. Nothing. Goddam cowards.

The flood of Executive Orders from the White House is overwhelming, outpacing the lawsuits attempting to stop them. This is by design. Chaos-creating demoralizes people and clouds opposition. Stay clear-headed: Lies don’t justify illegality! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/JF6NjbVE

I am a cisgender gay man and I will not tolerate any more trans erasure! My whole life, ever since I came out, trans people have been part of my community. It was NEVER "LGB" and I will never accept this whimsical, erasurist acronym.
