Meet my first fox painting. Acrylic on canvas 36”x36”
This was a transition piece from oils and certainly a good learning piece.

This is the most amazing news! 😭 🏳️⚧️❤️ Kids shouldn’t have to fight for healthcare. #protecttranskids
Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.
Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.
And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!

🧵 THREAD: In the second Trump administration, we’re devoting a significant part of our staff to detailing dramatic changes in the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans.
Here are some of the issues we’re watching — and how you can inform our work.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

It's important to take time away from social media especially now. It's cliche to say but no less true. Go touch grass be it literal or virtual. Subjecting yourself to 24/7 doom and anxiety does nothing but burnout. Having reprieve to process and think gives you the space to find new ways forward.

The issue with special education being owned by states is many of were in egregious in their lack in their support of disabled students before the Dept of Education was tasks with oversight. DOE is sometimes the only reason students in certain districts get access to accommodations and programs
95% of students with disabilities learn in public schools, and the Department of Education ensures they get the support they need and deserve.

If you have a kid with disabilities, make sure you have a copy of everything from the DOE site dealing with IDEA, Section 504 and 504 plans before tomorrow. This executive order isn't legal unless approved by Congress but most likely the info will be deleted. That info still can be used to advocate.
BREAKING: The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans tell NBC News.

This is very terrifying. Hugs to all.
Transgender issues aren’t “a distraction.”
They are the main event for the GOP.
They hate us enough to hurt everyone.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.
When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.
