BREAKING: The House Appropriations Committee just released a $1.2 trillion government spending bill at 2AM.

Slipped in there is $400k from our taxes funneled to Briarpatch Youth Services.

Briarpatch YS gives 13-year-old kids chest binders, tuck equipment, "counseling" all WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT.

This was requested by Senator Baldwin.

I was told Gaetz would ensure we would get 12 appropriations bills and not more CRs.

We chose a different route? Nah, its what we do.

quote:

President Trump said Friday that he signed a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill because it was vital to rebuilding the military, but he trashed Democrats for tacking on extra spending and vowed to never again sign another budget-busting measure.

Hours earlier, the president had threatened to veto the bill and all but guarantee a government shutdown when funding would have expired at midnight Friday

“I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again,” Trump added. “I’m not going to do it again. Nobody read it. It’s only hours old. Some people don’t even know what’s in it.”

Looks like the House Republicans are still pushing the Dim/Groomer/Pelosi agenda forward with a few minor tweaks.

It's crazy how many so called conservatives want to preserve the old enabling Republican Party. When it's all tallied up this proposed spending bill will add another $2 trillion to the US debt.

More of the same. We need a reset and none of our current candidates are going to get us one.

Yeah, might be time to get rid of Mike Johnson. He simply stalled for a few weeks what he was put in there to do, which is stop the spending for things that America doesn't want or need.

Teens Like Us LGBTQIA2s+

The Teens Like Us Program (TLU) provides support and education for queer youth ages 13-18. Founded over 20 years ago, TLU provides a safe, brave place for queer and questioning youth to meet with their peers. We serve youth across the state of Wisconsin!

Youth do NOT need parent/guardian permission to join Teens Like Us. We understand not all youth are at a point in their lives where they can safely and confidently “come out.”

Are you looking for information about PRIDE PROM?

GROUPS & SERVICES:
Teens Like Us Support Group

This group is for queer and questioning youth ages 13 through end of high school. The group is a “chill” space for youth to support one another, make new friends, socialize, and engage in casually structured activities and meet guest speakers from the community. Our groups meet every Wednesday from 5:30-7:30pm. (Currently we meet in-person every group EXCEPT the first Wednesday of the month, which will be on Zoom. Members receive TLU calendar and weekly emails with reminders for where group is.) To ensure the safety and confidentiality of all who join our group, we only provide the Zoom link directly to the group members. Before we can give youth the Zoom link or the address of where we meet in-person, we just need the youth to fill out a quick intake poll. All the information we gather will remain confidential. Youth can fill out the intake form at the following link: TLU YOUTH INTAKE

Please note that MASKS ARE REQUIRED at all in-person TLU groups and events, as we strive to be inclusive of folks who are immunocompromised. We also ask that group members do not attend if they are feeling sick (even “just a cold”), or if there is Covid-19 in their homes.

Please direct any and all questions via email to TLU@briarpatch.org

Briar-Attire Gender Affirming Clothing Program

Need gender affirming clothing (binders, gaffs, etc.) but you can’t afford them or you aren’t “out”? We can help! Email us at TLU@briarpatch.org to learn more!

Have gently used binders that you are looking to give a second life? We accept donations! Email us at TLU@briarpatch.org to connect!

Our favorite online shop for binders, gaffs, swimwear, and more is Origami Customs. They can also make custom sizes at no extra charge! They also have great resources to teach you how to measure yourself for the best fitting garment, and how to practice safe binding and tucking. Check them out here: https://origamicustoms.com/

Queer 101 Training

Briarpatch offers a Queer 101 training to youth serving agencies, schools and other looking to learn and grow.

What people have to say about Teens Like Us:
“TLU has created an amazing open space for me to share and ask for help, and also to support my peers. It’s a wonderful space not only for support, but also for sharing joy.”

“It has definitely been an environment that has allowed me to be/express myself. They’ve supported me through a lot of bad times and has supported me even outside of TLU. They’ve offered me resources like binders and packers (which is awesome). It’s also allowed me to grow my communication and leadership skills.”

“I was so excited to find this group because I had never met another trans person in real life and it was such a relief and so liberating to find that here were people like me in my local area.”

Didn't Musk make a comment about some AI to read these bills quickly so we know what's in them immediately?

This is what we warned them about. How do Gaetz & Co. move forward? Take out Johnson and replace him with... another guy that will end up doing the same thing? Or do they sit there and let this happen and do nothing? Until MAGA has a whole helluva lot more members in the House there isn't even the possibility of making serious changes.
