Dump Trump!

Uh... had enough???

It's only been a  few weeks now, but Trump's got his dirty fingers over everything already.  If you are (or have been) a government employee, YOU may have seen Donald's hands in the cookie jar.  Go to https://www.ap.org/contact-us/news-tips/ , then go to SecureDrop, and follow the instructions.  I can't absolutely guarantee your privacy, but the Tor network is damn good.  Good luck.

If you aren't a government employee, but you know someone who is, gently nudge him/her to do the right thing.  Don't worry if she/he initially says no.  Trump'll do something to screw up, and you will have done something to plant a seed.

If neither of these is true, you can still advance this cause.  If you have a Republican or squishy Democrat as your member of Congress, get on the phone and tell them you won't put up with this BS any more.  Tell them that you SUPPORT transgender people. Period.

ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 8 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :
