Anti-equality politicians have made it clear: Their obsession with trans youth will not end.

Protect trans youth by submitting a comment on Trump and RFK Jr.’s proposed rules that aim to severely restrict access to health care for trans youth: hrc.im/comment
Everyone needs to speak up, confront the lies, and loudly, publicly, defiantly support trans youth.

No matter what uniform they wear, federal agents and military troops on our streets are bound by the Constitution.

For more information, go to aclu.org/deployment_kyr.
White and blue text: "Know Your Rights when interacting with federal agents, local law enforcement, or military troops: If you get stopped, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, walk or drive away. If you’re questioned, you can say, “I want to remain silent.” In some cases, you may be required to provide your name, address, immigration status, and/or ID. If an official asks to search you or your belongings, you have the right to say no, but do not obstruct access. They may have authority to conduct the search anyway. If they begin searching you or your vehicle, say clearly: “I do not consent to a search.” You do not have to unlock your phone or give government officials your password without a warrant. For additional security, turn off biometric identification such as Face ID. If law enforcement officers arrest you, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say, or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries." Light blue ACLU logo. Blue arrow pointing to the right. Black background. White and blue text: "Know Your Rights when witnessing federal agents, local law enforcement, or military activity in public: You have the right to talk about and publicize truthful information that you obtain lawfully, including about what law enforcement officers are doing and where they are doing it. You have the right to tell people their legal rights. If you are a lawyer, make clear you are not giving legal advice. You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement. These officials can’t confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant, nor can they delete data under any circumstances. However, they may order you to move a reasonable distance away. If you think a command is unlawful, it’s safest to follow the order, document the interaction, and challenge it later. You can ask for officers’ names and badge numbers, as well as who to call if there are follow-up questions." Light blue ACLU logo. Black background.

With the Trump Administration about to roll its ugly occupation into Chicago, I wanted to write a little lyrical love letter to the city. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I just had the misfortune of the Homeland Security propaganda show up on my TV. It is disgusting, tarnishing, vile and a complete waste of taxpayer money.

Chicago, link arms!

“The incoming administration is eager to find ways to send a message that it is cracking down on undocumented immigrants and punishing so-called sanctuary cities — communities like Chicago that refuse to hand over immigrants detained by the police to federal immigration authorities.”

The plan, called “Operation Safeguard” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, would start in Chicago on Tuesday … and last until the following Monday, @nytimes.com reports, confirming @wsj.com report

I think it's time to resurrect the phrase, "this is why we can't have nice things," from the vault.
