I’m concerned that a resource used in Family Court does not provide effective privacy for litigants, especially around HIPPA, gender identity, and immigration. For the […]
Ah, Bucks County, you never cease to amaze. And disappoint. The Chief of Police in Quakertown waded into a protest organized by high school students, allegedly did not identify himself while dressed in street clothing, and put a female minor into a choke hold. Her friends responded to a stranger choking the young woman, launched […]

City Councilor Erika Strassburger steered two pieces of legislation that addressed and bolstered nondiscrimination protections in the City. Protections based on sexual orientation were first added to the […]
I watch (and share) a lot of videos that are focused on identifying ICE agents, documenting kidnappings, and lauding the creative, persistent resistance. Sometimes I wonder what I’d say if I was holding the bullhorn or recording with my phone. I’m not sure that the words of an individual have any impact or can prevent […]
Why are nearly 50% of same sex couples still cohabitating without getting married? This post is part of my ongoing court cases around same sex divorce, civil rights, and trauma. I have three legal cases and one additional legal action sort of floating around involving my work to Protect Trans Kids. I still need help […]
