Trump Has Meltdown in Oval Office with NATO Leader - This article was posted on March 13 by Ben Meiselas and Meidas Touch Network, and it details an incredibly insane meeting between Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. It's a long article but the part concerning transgender Americans stands out:
Then, Trump pivoted to his usual bigotry. Instead of talking about defense cooperation or global security, Trump bragged about how he uses transgender people as political pawns to rile up his base before elections — saying Republicans should “bring it up a week before the election” to win votes. In other words, he openly admitted he sees cruelty and manufactured culture war nonsense as a campaign strategy. Despicable.
This shouldn't be a surprised to anyone. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't remind people about this every chance we get. It underscores just what an opportunistic bloodsucker Trump is.
The fact that the following incident allegedly took place last month and wasn't covered widely says two things and they are both awful:
1. The media doesn't seem to care too much about just how trans people are being used as scapegoats.
2. The Trump Administration's tactic of overwhelming us all with constant bullshittery is real.
Nancy Mace barks anti-trans slur right at college student’s face then whines that she’s the victim - Speaking of opportunistic bloodsuckers, Nancy Mace is the queen. It's beginning to be a routine with her - 1. Publicly say something foul (mostly about trans people) 2. Getting challenged. 3. Posting the video of it all while playing the victim (making sure she says that she's "holding the line) 4. Appearing on Fox News or other right-wing news sources while stretching the victim card wider than a girdle on sale. In this particular case, number four hasn't happened yet. But I'm sure it will.
Minnesota attorney general files preemptive lawsuit against Trump on transgender sports ban - Good for Mr. Ellison. It's on!
19 Pictures That Absolutely Scream "Straight People Culture" - Some folks may get offended by this, but it's spot on.
Gay asylum-seeker's lawyer worries for the makeup artist's safety in Salvadoran ‘hellhole’ prison - It's good that folks are giving Trump hell for Abrego Garcia, but this needs as much attention.
Supreme Court conservatives sympathize with parents objecting to LGBTQ-inclusive books - I hope I'm right when I say I genuinely believe that the court will not rule in favor of the parents. Creating something like this would open a door to demanding opt-out policies for everything in school.
