Pete Buttigieg on Substack Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

The Pride Flag flying above the Illinois State Capitol.

Rest assured that here in Illinois, our LGBTQ+ community can be who they want to be.

They are safe here.
They are celebrated here.
They are welcome here.
And they are free to love who they love here.

No matter the month, I'll always be an ally in the fight for equality for all.

My advice to all of my readers:

WAIT to send in your passport update right now. As soon as we get class certification, which I will announce to all of my readers, that will be your time to rocket speed submit your passport applications.

Right now, you should likely wait.

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Glad to find you. Long time follower from the bad place

I will spit blood and pick glass out of my knees defending my trans friends.

Why are we “striking deals?” We have the fucking majority. I’m so tired of Schumer. If you have to work through the holidays and stay up nights, DO YOUR JOB and confirm judges for every vacancy. I don’t care if it takes longer. DO YOUR JOB.
