It sure seems like Donald and Pete
Plan to order the military to do illegal things to perhaps Americans because otherwise, why wouldn’t their answer be “of course you shouldn’t obey illegal orders; it’s right there in the military code.”

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE.

Here’s how to use them:

Target has been so hard hit since January that the only cars in the lot at our local store have been ICE. We can just not buy from them forever.
These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

9/11 - Never Forget that “Things happened, but he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that”. - Thank you for your attention to this matter Donald J Trump.

We are having wine and tater tots for dinner but only because my son doesn’t like peas.

Love seeing Charlotte out there protesting, blowing whistles, building community, getting things done.

I got federal charged for dancing across the street from ICE in my neighborhood on Indigenous People's Day. Here is the feds evidence photo they are using against me in court.
I really really need a good lawyer but I cant afford one.

The kids are alright. #FreeCharlotte
Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

Charlotte friends, get yourself one of these and start connecting with your neighbors.

Bold move for six Democrats-none from my State - to ask for money today.

Sorry we can’t donate to your Senate Campaign, our heath insurance just went up 1000%.

Hey @durbin.senate.gov - this is what you voted for - I hope you hear these Americans voices in your head as you try to sleep for the rest of your days.

I've been reposting everyone replying to this post with their own ACA (and sometimes employer!) price hikes. Feel free to add yours. There is some comfort in knowing you aren't alone and knowing we'll all be voting on this issue in a year.

Chuck Schumer should be chucked out. #chuckchuck
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

You can leave messages for @durbin.senate.gov at (312) 353-4952 - the Chicago office.

At least the Supreme Court told Kim Davis to go eat a dick. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I’d like to point out that Senator Durbin’s DC office won’t even let you leave a message - but his Chicago Office will - 312-353-4952 - if you live in Illinois, let your voice be heard.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Preschool kids in Chicago are showing more grit and resolve in the face of the Trump Administration’s war on the people than grown ass men in the Senate.

@durbin.senate.gov vote fucking no! Do not allow the President and GOP to gut the ACA - make them explain their position to the people - who have spoken - this is bullshit. You are retiring - you can do the right thing!!!

Ken Griffin apparently moved from Chicago to Palm Beach?!? Regular Chicagoans did not notice.
