Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

This needs to be trending. Everyone needs to know, 10 days in and it finally makes news.

Today’s “Let them eat cake!” is “Let them die of preventable and treatable illnesses!"

If you believe the poor children who were raped and bravely came forward expecting the world to do the right thing, then you know this to be true. I know.

📌ATTENTION MEDIA: Trump and Epstein trafficked and abused CHILDREN not "young women."

Judge Breyer pointed out another problem with Trump's unjustified mobilization of California's National Guard: It leaves thousands of troops unable to respond to REAL emergencies on behalf of their true commander-in-chief, Gov. Newsom—a constitutional affront to the state. slate.com/news-and-pol...

BREAKING: Senator Padilla after being thrown to ground and cuffed: “If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question, if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers..."

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Stop saying “LA RIOTS” and start calling them RAIDS and PROTESTS. Looters do NOT equal Protesters.

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

Can anyone explain to me how Trump can deploy troops to Los Angeles no matter what the governor or mayor say, but somehow it was Nancy Pelosi who needed to send the National Guard to DC on January 6th and Trump was powerless to do anything about it?

So, he could have sent National Guard to stop the murder and destruction on Jan. 6th…

If they took the senate floor and each, of the 49 of them, held it for 5-10 hours, they wouldn’t need to take another turn for 10-20 days. Hold until a return to constitutional law.

Just Jack‬ ‪@just-jack-1.bsky.social‬ If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

NEW: AG Pam Bondi warned that the arrest of Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan is a warning to other judges: "we will prosecute you"

Protesters gather outside the federal courthouse in Milwaukee following the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan.

Spread the word, this needs to be trending. You know who else made registries??? It starts with a N and it doesn't end well 😡

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I have met thousands across our country who do not feel that our party is fighting for them- there is a reason for that. Many of our elected leaders are not and are failing to meet this moment. It is time for that to change.

A teacher in Florida lost her job because she was “caught” supporting her student. This is a disgusting example of government overreach for the sole purpose of attacking our young people. Learn more: www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

My favourite library quote is from newsman Walter Cronkite: ‘Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation’

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Porsha Ngumezi should still be alive today. Texas’ abortion ban killed her. Abortion bans make pregnancy more dangerous. No one should be denied lifesaving medical care.

This new study confirms what we already know: TRANSGENDER HEALTH CARE SAVES LIVES. www.cnn.com/2025/03/17/h...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

82 House members submitted a letter demanding accountability to Office of Management & Budget Director Russell Vought (former Heritage Foundation VP & Project 2025 architect) on Trump's executive order impacting gender markers on federal ID documents like passports. www.advocate.com/politics/con...

Fox News Anchor Claims Trump Tower Protestors ‘Hate Jewish-Americans.’ In reality the protesters are Jewish Voices for Peace and they are LITERALLY wearing shirts "Jews say Stop" and carrying signs that say "Opposing Fascism is a Jewish Tradition." www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...

Demonstrators affiliated with a progressive Jewish activist group packed into Trump Tower on Thursday to protest the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student. Nearly 100 of the protesters were later arrested, according to the police. nyti.ms/4bRGVtn

All of us deserve accurate IDs so we can safely travel and go about our daily lives without fear of harassment or discrimination. The attacks on transgender people must stop.

KIDS JUST WANT TO BE KIDS. Say it louder for the people in the back, @iamwandasykes.bsky.social!

This is absolutely the truth!!

Democrats should boycott Trump's address tonight. If they feel they need to attend, they must not signal to the nation that we're living in normal times. Make good and loud trouble. Disrupt the speech. When he lies, boo loudly! Anything less will legitimize Trump’s coup.
