NEWS: In USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones.

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare.

LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge
"They’re not asking people ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

Congress shall make no law… abridging the right to free speech. 1st Amendment, United States Constitution.

Apparently Kootenai Co. Sheriff Noriss doesn’t think that applies to him, nor does he respect the Constitution, nor the Constitutional rights of Idaho Citizens.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan:

Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Recently learned that this is the world’s most remote inhabited archipelago. It takes six days by boat to get there - no flights go there.

One of the cooler things I’ve learned from the Carrot weather app.

Everyone please call Senator Elizabeth Warren and tell her there is still time for her to do the right thing. She should withdraw her cosponsorship of KOSA and demand that the duty of care be removed and replaced. Otherwise she's endangering LGBTQ youth & needs to own it www.vice.com/en/article/q...

Exceptional finale for the second season of Wheel of Time!

Though it is very different than the books, I’m loving the changes needed to adapt the show for a series. Can’t wait for the next season! I’ll be re-watching this season at least twice, just like the first season. 😆

Finally finished my professional website with portfolio. There’s still work to do, but a good published site is better than no website while striving for perfection.
