“When you start asking if it’s worth standing up for trans people, you’ve already lost the moral argument,” Democrat Dylan Blaha told me in an interview about why he’s challenging an Illinois congresswoman from the left.

Illinois Army captain says Dems are ‘rolling over’ on LGBTQ+ rights. He’s running for Congress to change that
“What’s happening right now to trans people — to the LGBTQ+ community — is not okay. Somebody needs to stand up," Dylan Blaha told The Advocate.

Hydro thunder is the one arcade game that was at the bowling alley I’d attend 1-2 times a year for some party or something through my adolescence and I spent so much time playing it instead of bowling. 😂

When life closes a door, it opens a window. And if the fall is too steep, use the fire exit. Run to the roof -- you always have that airship on the dock. The most important thing is to keep moving. Keep dreaming.

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.
This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

An a great article from @margaret.bsky.social on not only cool things like Punk and Black Metal bands but also about the importance of refusing to cede ground to fascists.

@dylanthomasblaha.bsky.social is speaking up and standing on the right side of history and people are taking notice.
This is great: a National Guardsman standing up to say every member of the National Guard and military "is legally obliged to disobey an illegal order."
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA.
I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe.
What's going on right now is not normal.
