State health agency ensures 988 LGBTQ+ youth services will continue Illinois will continue to provide mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth despite federal funding cuts to the service.

The Trump administration's decision to end the 988's specialized lifeline is a cruel reversal of proven practices.

In Illinois, we stand with our LGBTQ+ community.

If you need help and you call 988 here, you'll still be met with compassion and respect.

I’ve followed the Epstein case for years. It’s a testament to how those with privilege are treated differently and the vulnerable pay for this in ways that are unconscionable.
This striking bit of poetry β€œAt What Point” by Caitlin O’Ryan brings to my mind the dichotomy.

I ponder often these days the poem by Pastor Martin Niemoller, First They Came. It continues to become more and more important to speak out…

Perhaps, as is the case in scripture, Mary Magdalene was close by and I do wonder if she had any words for Anita after her penance was meted out by her savior, perhaps something as simple as, ” how~ do~ you~ like~ those~ apples?”.

They are Judas Iscariot, so eager to sell out another for a dirty sack of silver.

Anita Bryant went to meet her maker in December and I’m curious how she accounted for her life, in later years she remained unrepentant for her stance.

-Religious groups are targeting same sex marriage hoping that legalization is reconsidered.

Anita, Jesse, Jerry, and the Christian Nationalists put me in the mind of the parable of the Whited Sepulchers (Matthew 23:27), outwardly clean yet rotten inside to the core.

US Christian groups.
-On June 27, 2025, SecDef Hegseth announced that the naval ship USNS Harvey Milk would be renamed. The timing of the announcement was some purposeful shit during Pride Month. Other naval ships possibly up for renaming…Harriet Tubman, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Thurgood Marshall!

As the observance of Pride Month comes to a close, I want to
