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.

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...
California argued that Trump is violating the 10th Amendment, which reserves certain constitutional powers to the states. I did think this was a little bit of a reach. But Judge Breyer wrote that, under the Constitution, states have primary control of the National Guard. And states get to deploy their Guard for purposes they view as urgent and proper, like putting out wildfires in California. The president is not always and inherently the commander-in-chief of the National Guard; that only happens when he lawfully mobilizes them—which, Breyer ruled, he has not done here. And so by federalizing the Guard illegally, Trump has taken away California’s constitutional prerogative to deploy its own Guard as it sees fit. Breyer wrote that Gov. Newsom may want to deploy the National Guard for other purposes, but he can’t because it’s busy right now following Trump’s illicit orders. And he wrote that those orders therefore violate the 10th Amendment.

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.

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?

Scientists have found homosexuality nearly everywhere they've looked for it in the animal kingdom -- mammals, reptiles, fish, birds, insects -- everywhere. By definition, it's natural. What's UNNATURAL is the irrational (and mostly religious-based) hate and homophobia found only in humans. #Pride
Homosexuality is found in over 1500 species. Homophobia is only found in Humans. So literally based on science, homophobia is unnatural.
