The Epstein files reveal a world of privilege & abuse possibly worse than many if us could imagine, full of people banking off tax cuts and avoidance, and yet Trump & co want you to blame immigrants for higher costs, taxes, and any other ills. I hope weāre smart enough as a country to know better.

Thereās a story in Ireland A child comes home from school and says the teacher told them āNa bĆ ag Caintā. āAnd what does that mean?ā The parent asks āDonāt be a c*ntā says the child āNo, says the parent, āin Irish it means ā stop talkingāā The childās version is the more important lesson.

Representative Junie Joseph: Colorado Will Not Let Washington Interfere in Care for LGBTQIA+ - Yellow Scene Magazine
As a legislator, a member of this community, and someone who believes every young person deserves safety and dignity, I am deeply alarmed by the federal governmentās latest attempts to interfere in private medical decisions. Todayās announcement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks to restrict gender-affirming care for minors, but its message reaches far beyond that, targeting LGBTQIA+ people of all ages, across incomes, neighborhoods, and social classes.
