It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

This is literally erasing history. Marsha P. Johnson was trans. Sylvia Rivera was trans. No LGB without T. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🧱
The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

May I be a guard
for those who need protection,
a guide for those on the path,
a boat, a raft, a bridge
for those who wish to cross the flood.
May I be a lamp in the darkness,
a resting place for the weary….
until all beings are freed from sorrow
and all are awakened.

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down
Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?
