We've created a tracker that covers all executive orders affecting LGBTQ folks along with federal and state legislation.

We're at 334 anti-LGBTQ bills.

i think this should be factored into how states, counties, localities and hospitals respond to these executive orders. "we will investigate you if you teach DEI." okay, with what agents, specifically? with what state capacity?
NYT reported that the number of potentially affected agents is as high as 6k. The bureau has about 13.7k agents total
What a hideous headline. Folks calling the shots here are just corrupt banana republic trash.

-little portable power packs, one per phone
-a print road atlas

A group of 50 Kansas City activists and other residents braved frigid temperatures to protest the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

The crowd at Ilus W. Davis Park in front of City Hall chanted, “No hate, no fear, refugees are welcome here” and “The people, united, will never be defeated.”
