Conversion therapy is not free speech it's mental abuse. You can't yell "fire" in a theater with no fire because it causes harm. You can't tell a child they were born "wrong" because it causes harm, both instances are the same and neither one should be protected as free speech. #LGBTQRights

Kansas’s attempt to erase trans people is disgusting. In Congress, I will fight to protect trans people, like I have done in Illinois, and will work to overturn these harmful, discriminatory laws.

Last week, Kansas instituted a new bathroom ban in government facilities and prevented trans people from updating the gender markers on their licenses. While we're filing a lawsuit to defeat this transphobic law, here's the latest.

Hegseth really looked at the Boy Scouts and was like, “I have an idea. You remember that whole youth program Germany had in the ‘30s? I think we can do something with that.”

Absolutely relate. Caring is exhausting. But what option is there besides giving a damn? I have zero respect for people who turn a blind eye.

It’s exhausting to give a damn, isn’t it? To be a person of compassion in a time and place when compassion is in such great demand? Day after day, these legions of sorrows begin to take up residence in your body... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...
