Ok guys, here's my issue: I got paid today. I immediately paid my phone bill & withdrew my rent money, so those won't be an issue but surprise! I am broke now. 😭 Food stamps coming Sunday. Need $150 for grocery delivery & Uber fees. #BIPOCMA 💕💸 V: Annaleigh-Watts CA: $annaleighmaria PP: AnaleeWatts

Assuming Harris/Walz win, we need to have five conversations in America: 1) how the rich/celebrities/techbros are not deities 2) how the major media is beyond broken 3) how traumatized we are 4) how millions of Americans are cool with ushering in fascism 5) how MAGAns scare people into silence

The dossier sent in 2022 in preparation for the 2023 SAFE Act (and emailed to all CSN mailing list subscribers on the Virtuous mailing list platform) included screenshots, LinkedIn pages and private FB posts. It's invasive, extensive and extremely alarming. archive.ph/68FSr

My name is Marie B. and I am a parent member of Cardinal Support Network. Thank you for allowing me to share 
our negative experiences with gender clinics. Most of us are afraid to come forward due to fear of being harassed by the media 
and by activists. We are a volunteer Ohio network of families of gender confused children and young adults who are suffering. We
love our kids. We support The Safe Act because it aligns with science and evidence-based care. Ohio needs to protect minors from 
the experimental practices of the gender clinics. We hope that this bill will encourage hospitals to help parents untie the knots of 
gender identity confusion and get to the bottom of why our children believe they are transgende

There is still a chance that DeWine's veto will be overridden, although a substantive majority would be needed that right now is mathematically unlikely unless enormous groundswell support pours in.

Those responsible for the horrorscape in Missouri and Florida are coordinating closely to pressure DeWine into adopting the most aggressive anti-trans policies, likely through the boards of medicine. This allows him to seem pro-small government while expanding state powers against all trans people.

Most analogous politically to Florida, many groups in Ohio are steeped in the local Catholic political infrastructure, which gives them access to powerful lobbying mechanisms and funding other groups lack. It also positions them ideologically alongside established anti-LGBT groups like ACPeds.
