At a time when the federal government is bent on reducing, if anything, protections for people considered to be "outside the norm," it is important for states and local institutions to step up to fill the void.
In Connecticut the Board of Regents has adopted two new policies in order to implement an executive order issued by Governor Malloy this past February.
The news media may be talking about a possible House vote today on repealing Obamacare (note: it'll never pass the Senate), but Obamacare simply won't be an option in most of Iowa next year.

After the fifth online article I read today claiming how Donald Trump has been "turned (by the deep state), persuaded (by the deep state), has had a change of heart", etc., I decided to go on a rant. Confucius say, "rants are good for the soul".
Debbie from Sane Progressive posted a 2 hour long rant which she soon deleted. From the half-hour I was able to catch before then it was obvious she was....tired. She wasn't the only one. Many other activists have thrown up their hands and quit because they feel like they have no way to fight back.
