Just because someone isn’t deemed a functional or contributing member to society, doesn’t make them any less valuable as a human being. Someone’s worth isn’t measured by their ability to pay taxes.

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.
No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.
Hate has no home here.

One of the first things Hitler did was destroy and burn trans research at the Institute of Sexology.
Trump has spent the past couple weeks systematically attempting to erase any trans related information that he has power over.
Just for context, you know.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional.

This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.
