I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

1. Trump's Anti-Trans HHS Report authors have been unmasked, and as someone said, "Now we know why they were previously kept anonymous."

It's a who's who of hate groups and billionaire-funded anti-trans activists.

We detail the names in our latest report.

Vance speaking about “widespread child sacrifice” in the Americas when colonizers arrived - while graveyards FULL of Native children at church boarding schools are still being found - is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Very sad to see NBC Out go down. I know journalists who have worked there and it was home to some of the best in depth reporting on LGBTQ+ issues out there from a legacy media outlet.

Legacy media continues to abandon us, and it seems only we can tell our own stories these days.

Cattle #grazing has become a controversial and often confusing topic that's tied up with issues like methane and the #ClimateCrisis, deforestation, and culture and colonialism.

This site uses facts and science to cut through common myths about the impact of cattle on our planet ⬇️
It’s come to my attention that you may not know I codesigned an entire website dedicated to cattle grazing.

What it’s doing to wildlife, watersheds and whether grass-fed, regenerative beef is a climate solution.

SO many neighbors out in RP today!

There is so much horror. And also, countless people in our neighborhood and across our magical city, Chicago, are demonstrating, every day, a loving and fierce dedication to keep each other safe.
There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

Your reminder—or maybe no one ever told you—that complications from a measles infection include immune amnesia (where you lose immunity to everything), vision and hearing loss, brain damage, and a fatal brain disease called Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis that can show up years later.
Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks.

The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January.
