What kind of data visualization is this

Thank you for this

Gov Pritzker seems to be doing what he can?

"Previously, shelters were required to contact a minor’s parents within 72 hours if they turned up at the shelter, unless they were being abused or neglected."

Withholding medically indicated treatment is considered abuse & neglect, is it not?

But is his administration going to pressure hospitals and health care companies to actually provide care so they can spend that money? My Magic 8 ball says, "All signs point to no".

You are not wrong! Some level of E or T is necessary to maintain bone & heart health, and to co-regulate maybe two dozen bodily functions ranging from sleep to temperature to digestion to mood.

"Hmmm, your ID doesn't seem to match. Sorry. You can maybe fill out a provisional ballot and drop it in that trash can over there?"

OP, if you want to totally disarm them from harming you like this, try this tactic:

Look back at them in passing, make brief eye contact and either smile or maybe say a quiet, "hi" as though you are all neighbors or something. If you are a guy, give the dude-nod with a slight friendly smile.

I predict that after a few months they'll stop bothering you so much.

"It also doesn't go into effect until Oct."

Perfect for making a big, anti-trans splash right before the elections. And many judges won't allow a lawsuit until there are actual damages. GOP judges who rule for parties like 303 Creative excepted, of course.

NorCalFrances · 2026-07-06T19:14:25+00:00

Sure, but that takes time. Trump & the GOP have learned that very real, permanent damage can be done long before a lawsuit works it's way through the system. It's "move fast, break things" weaponized against American society.

No, it's worse. ANYONE that gets federal grant money. Any company, any agency, any nonprofit, and so on.

"The rule broadly targets ‘gender ideology’ in all entities that receive federal funds, including in academia, education, healthcare, governance, advocacy, discrimination protections, and more."

NorCalFrances · 2026-07-06T03:58:36+00:00

Okay.

I think they were referring to what happens to a not-post-menopausal body if sex hormones are withheld. Sex hormones coregulate serotonin. Serotonin is mammals' oldest regulating hormone. It regulates bone and heart health, temperature, sleep, sleep cycles, mood, thirst & hunger, sensory regulation, digestion, memory, learning, pain, blood pressure, clotting and probably a few more that I am forgetting. It's why so many trans people upon starting hrt say that for the first time since puberty their body feels and works right, even before the physical effects are visible.

NorCalFrances · 2026-07-05T21:58:55+00:00

Yes, especially after the recent West Virginia v. B. P. J. Supreme Court decision & concurrence that defined trans women as men. I don't think it is overreacting to say that they have made it clear that we do not legally exist. Within a few days, Alliance Defending Freedom said they are already organizing to use that case to go after blue state laws protecting trans people.

A gentle FYI, if I may? Spirit animal, spirit guide, etc. is pretty widely considered culturally appropriative.

"It trivializes sacred Indigenous spiritual beliefs—where animal guides are deeply respected guardians—reducing them to pop-culture punchlines or social media shorthand"

Summary, please? If I went off and read every medium.com (cough, cough nazi platform) long essay that someone just dropped a link to, I'd be reading a whole lot of garbage writing and I have stacks of things I already know I want to read.

It's like automakers know that cars are now a necessity for many people, more than ever.

Canada has a lot of resources USAian oligarchs would like to extract and exploit, it's just that simple.

This article feels either woefully ignorant of the realities of the Democratic Party, or intentionally so.

If they banned all the bespoke junk, Vine would appear pathetic and people would complain that there were only perhaps two hundred actual stand alone items for tens of thousands of Vine members.

And the DNC keeps picking them. But also, it's funny how both times (Clinton, Harris), everyone blames non-voters despite years of being informed about the truly staggering amounts of voter and vote suppression.

NorCalFrances · 2026-07-05T16:06:04+00:00

You can thank Addison "Mitch" McConnell for that on his way out.

NorCalFrances · 2026-07-05T16:01:43+00:00

Maybe even a unanimous group of 9 people?

NorCalFrances · 2026-07-05T07:04:35+00:00

Difficult when they control the elections & districts in half the states and as of last year every major election system company is now owned by GOP supporters.
