Gov. JB Pritzker signed a bill into law Tuesday to make Illinois the first state to issue vaccine recommendations independent of the CDC. Democrats believe Illinois should ensure healthcare regardless of decisions made by the federal government.

I REMEMBER.
In 1981, nearly 100% of people with AIDS died, often rapidly.
I remember weeping.
I remember Ronald Reagan's refusal to say "AIDS".
I remember the brave patients, loving caregivers, and the defiant power of ACT-UP.
And finally the miracle of modern therapy.
Rise up for World AIDS day.

Commemorating #WorldAIDSday is an act of defiance against ideology driven policies that will end our progress to end the epidemic.

There are people you never have the honor of knowing but you feel the ripple effects of their person and their work from the folks who have met them.
Alice Wong made waves that went far. A tremendous loss. Memory eternal.

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us.
I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making.
May we live up to her example.
(so you don't have to go to Instagram)

That’s the kind of energy I need in my life right now. I really hope this is true.
And the other story, here there and everywhere, is that real Dems are not giving up on Trans rights.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

It's ok if you don't fully understand what it means to be trans. It's ok if you get the language wrong occasionally. What matters now is that you publicly, visibly show your allyship in any way you can. They're trying to drive us out of public life and we need your support to make sure they can't.

This feels like hope in a time when it’s desperately needed.
That a politician would be standing up for trans people in this moment is deeply important and meaningful.
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Quick demo of how to “detach a quote”.
You detach a quote when you don’t approve of *your* skeet being quoted in the given skeet … it’s very effective.
Click on the three dots at the lower right of the quoting. A detach option will be presented to you. Select and approve to detach your skeet.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.
This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.
