| The fact that so many MAGA nuts actually believed this fake list of performers for Turning Point's Halftime show is typical and funny. But the list also makes reference to a genuine measles outbreak in schools thanks to Trump Administration policies (see news brief below). That makes entire situation also sadly ironic. |
Editor's note - Bear with me because a LOT of things are going on. So much that I felt news briefs were in order instead a post about one thing.
MAGA Falls For Fake Turning Point Halftime Show List - The poster above, mind you. The last item talking about a guest appearance from "Measles" is both funny and sadly ironic. As seen by the next news briefs, there is a measles outbreak in this country, which can be laid on the feet of Trump Administration's Secretary of Health and Human Services (and anti-vaccine nuthead) Robert Kennedy, Jr.
Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks - 153 in South Carolina alone.
The next two items come from one of my favorite sites, Erin in the Morning. It is the go-to site for news about the trans community; something mainstream media has been completely derelict about in light of the targeting of the trans community by the Trump Administration:
Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize - Poor Elon. His money can't buy everything.
New Journal Report: Cass Review “Echoes Fallacies Promoted By Anti-Trans Disinformation” - Remember how the fraudulent Cass Review took hold of Britian while America's medical professionals and members of the trans community beat back the outcome it could have had in this country? Not surprisingly, it's getting panned by The Medical Journal of Australia (MJA).
Finally:
These LGBTQ+ refugees fled hatred & found safety in the US. Now they’re navigating Trump’s America. -"Rainbow Railroad helped them flee anti-LGBTQ+ persecution in their home countries, amid cuts to U.S. refugee programs."
Judge halts New York county from enforcing transgender athlete ban after roller derby league sues - A story from last week, but good news, nonetheless.
