Wow!

Look, yesterday was a tough, TOUGH day, but the world ain't over.

I've had my share of tough days - on a small handful of separate days, I've been physically down for the count and the physicians were explaining they had done all that could be done. I've been beaten and bruised pretty hard all in the interest of reviving me. Frankly, I'm not at all convinced I WANT to be here, but here I am for the time being.

Preliminary data has been released from the 2015 US Transgender Survey, which was conducted last summer and had 28,000 adult respondents. Full data will be released later this year.

The data released concern bathrooms...which is not what our lives are about, but which dominate all perception of us.

Yesterday, on Twitter and Facebook a post was making the rounds that Bernie had been "threatened" by the Clinton campaign" with losing all the concessions he achieved on the DNC platform, unless he endorsed Clinton. Here is a screenshot of the text of that post:

"Logic Volcano" is my new metaphor for a situation fraught with hazard and the danger of self-immolation for any participant who is forced by circumstances to explain seemingly illogical behavior logically.

I just happened to catch this tweet before it vanished down the memory hole.

So who did we risk a shooting war with Russia for? Amnesty International released a report over the weekend.

Documentary Filmmaker Mary Elizabeth Boylan has launched a crowdfunding campaignto complete her latest project, which is a film about the struggle for worldwide equality for the transgender community.

It's in a brief (for me) video on my YouTube channel:

Ask yourself one question. After all we've seen from the Clinton campaign and the Dnc to steal this election, do you trust Hillary Clinton to follow through on anything she said today?

It appears that there some small amount of price to pay for ignoring/disregarding security procedures.

Update: Rally took place at 11AM US East. Bernie's speech starts at 38 minute mark into the video.

Since no one else has put has put up a thread for this rally, I guess I've gotta do it. You bunch of Slackers. Hahhaha.
