It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

This winter has me questioning my decision to move to Wisconsin on a daily basis. If anyone's got a good technique for simultaneously watching for ice on the ground AND in the sky, LMK.

Thanks, Bryan. We all need to stand together.
People say "We are all in the same boat", but that is wrong. We are all in the same storm!
Some of us are lucky to be in a boat, but others in our community are in the water, and we need to help rescue them as we can.

What we are witnessing is the systematic erasure of queer people (as well as other groups) perpetrated by the government.
Jokes on them though - we've always been here and we aren't going anywhere. They can remove us from their websites and datasets, but they can't erase us from existence.

CDC removes gender, equity references in public health material
Large sets of data are being scrubbed of references to transgender and LGBTQ+ people, among others, which could compromise their use in research.

In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.

There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

While 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg, combined, own more wealth than the bottom half of America.
Apparently, that’s not enough. Republicans want to give them a massive tax break by slashing Medicaid.
Together, we will stop them.
