Chicago-area and other IL proximate (STL!!) Jews! Buncha August events and retreats at this groovy Jewy regenerative agriculture community:

Currently #mohouse is debating HB089, a bill adding antisemitism to protected discriminations in education settings. This body, or any government body, should not be codifying this working and offensive definition in statute that was never meant to be defined in law.

If you're thinking to yourself: huh, I actually do have too much money, don't I-- here's a sleepaway camp for queer and trans youth that could not be more lifesaving now-- and they're committed to making sure nobody is turned away for lack of funds. It's run by @ravbogard.bsky.social, mensch.

Trump said we're a country of survivors and I don't think he knows how true that is - for LGBTQI+ people. Trans folks, above all else, know how to survive. We existed before Trump, we will exist after him. We've got us, no matter what.

Trump claims he criminalized best practice medical care for trans youth. It is imperative that folks understand - he did not. Executive orders do not create new crimes. Trans medical care is life-saving, best practice care. Read more about it here. www.americanprogress.org/article/tran...

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

This is not a presidential speech. It is a disinformation operation.

Arrived; fascism.

With everything bad in the world, I’m taking my traditional pun-filled Oscars menu and turning it into something good for LGBTQ+ youth. For a donation of $5 or more, get a cookbook inspired by this years movies and filled with terrible photoshops. Ya gotta give. gofund.me/f20ca6f6

Mo Sen voted down an amendment that would revert the 2001 amended definition of marriage claiming such a commitment could only be between a man and a woman back to being between 2 people. A STL Dem voted it down - voted gay marriage down - in 2025. How are we still here?

There’s not a day that’s occurred this session in which #moleg hasn’t attempted to ban being queer or trans in Missouri. Today #MoSen is back on their construction bill stacked with amendments to permanently ban trans gender affirming care and trans athlete participation in sports.

There’s not one Missourian #MoAG cares about- not trans kids, not our workforce, not farmers.

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide. This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

About #MoSen last night: Don’t sleep on the Freedom Caucus’ conniving behavior to ban gender affirming healthcare in any bill.

Feels like a good time to lift this up: Camp Indigo Point is entering its 5th summer, and I can’t wait to find myself back here at the end of a marathon legislative session 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

It’s been years in this 1/2 week of #moleg. Monday: 8 hours of public testimony on 7 anti-trans bills Tuesday: 7 hours of public testimony on 5 anti-trans bills Wednesday: 1st Senate filibuster… an anti-trans amendment, still going #protecttranskids #stopwastingmissouritaxesattackingtranskids

"Equality is an issue in women's sports, but trans people aren’t the reason why women's sports are underfunded and under-resourced." — @caitesmith.bsky.social 👏👏👏

Here we go---Rep Christ, the Chair, is introducing anti-trans day of hate in the Missouri Legislature. Here's how it's going to go: the four identical bills will go first, with each of the bill sponsors getting 5 minutes each to create hateful media moments and raise money. #MOLeg #ProtectTransKids

Fixed it.

This isn't a culture war. This is the only trans congresswoman, ever being bullied through the press and legislation, and having only 1 of hundreds of colleagues stand up for her. They can do more than 1 thing at a time. Defending her will not take so much effort that they can't do their jobs.

Hope this doesn’t indicate a fallback on Bailey though

You know that report is real bad. I hope it gets leaked. In any case Gaetz fucked himself into unemployment.
