Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.

Let’s set aside for a moment the questions of the legality and constitutionality of Trump’s action and ask instead: Where did he get this idea? How did eliminating birthright citizenship become a right-wing desideratum?

NEW from Philip Jaffa:
Where the Right-Wing Campaign Against Birthright Citizenship Comes From—and Why It’s Wrong
What a shock: The MAGA-loving Claremont Institute and John Eastman of “coup memos” notoriety are the biggest boosters.

It is within President Biden’s authority and responsibility to instruct the National Archivist to publish the ERA in the Constitution. Call the White House comment line at 202-456-1111 to demand that he do so. Equality of Rights Should not be denied or abridged on the account of sex- short version.

this is about 24 hours out of date now but it’s good work and if you are under the impression that House Dems are staying silent about the Mace/Johnson bathroom situation, perhaps because people keep lying to you about it, you should take a look.
This is a list of statements by House Democrats defending Sarah McBride.

It does not include statements of support that make no mention of the transphobic attacks against her, or statements about transphobia that are not directly relevant. It also does not include retweets/reposts.

“As more of the popular vote is counted, it turns out that Trump’s victory came with the slimmest of margins — a few hundred thousand votes in key places slid him into office.” -

It does not seem right to say Happy Transgender Day of Remembrance, although I have seen that on a few posts.
November 20 marks Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day which is used to honor and remember transgender individuals who have lost their lives to violence Thoughts?.

Emilia Pérez is a powerful film with stunning performances. I highly recommend. Karla Sofía Gascón in the titular role is a tour de force. Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña as you have never seen them. And it's a musical.

This is all preventable. The vaccines work and are effective.

Long term, an Army cannot fight when it is sick. Disease and illness killed millions outside of the battlefield. Needless deaths and preventable.
