'Moms for Liberty chapter president strips at school board meeting in attempt to smear trans kids' & other Mon/Tue news briefs

Beth Bourne, Moms for Liberty chapter president of Yolo County in CA, stripped at a recent school board in an attempt to smear trans kids.

Anti-LGBTQ+ activist undresses in board meeting to show how trans kids make people uncomfortable​ - Articles like this is why we need to support the LGBTQ press. Do you think the mainstream media will shine the light on how demented these right-wing activists are? Hardly. The woman in question is Beth Bourne and guess who she is affiliated with. 

Take it, Erin Reed: 

 Beth Bourne, president of the Yolo County Moms for Liberty chapter, launched into a tirade against transgender students in locker rooms and bathrooms before abruptly stripping off her top and pants. The stunt left board members stunned, forced the meeting into recess, and underscored just how unhinged the movement’s tactics have become. 

 . . .  This was hardly Bourne’s first brush with notoriety for outlandish, anti-LGBTQ+ theatrics. Last year she went viral after berating drag queens in a hotel lobby in Hawaii, demanding a refund for the mere act of encountering them. The clip drew a petition to oust her from her staff position at UC Davis. The university held off, but she eventually lost the job anyway—thanks to Trump’s education cuts, which she publicly cheered even as she admitted they cost her own livelihood. 

For those who don't remember her hysterical screeching at drag queens in Hawaii, here you go. Enjoy:

 

 Also, according to Erin Reed: 

Bourne’s crusade against LGBTQ+ rights has also been deeply personal—and cruel. Her own child came out to her as nonbinary, a revelation that, according to them, only hardened her extremism. “I was ready to come out to everybody because I had been holding it in for a really long time,” the now-adult child told the Sacramento Bee. “From my coming out to my moving out, her views that she expressed to me started to get more aggressive and more extreme.”

Now if you are truly pining for a video of her behavior at the school board meeting, here you go (God help you):

Aside wanting to tell the good news, another reason for me posting this article is another plea to support the independent LGBTQ press.

I humiliated a Trump supporting white supremacist on Thursday. How was your day?

On the risk of bragging, I embarrassed a "prominent" white supremacist today. I put the word prominent in quotes because to me, labeling a white supremacist as prominent is akin to pointing out the scuzziest looking rat in a group of rats.

Allow me to give a little background.

On Wednesday, the dumbass who some Americans were stupid enough to put back into the White House (because I sure as hell didn't vote for the sentient brain tumor) announced that he was declaring Antifa to be a "major terrorist organization."

For the benefit of those who don't know, Antifa is 

 . . .  a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement in the United States. It consists of a highly decentralized array of autonomous groups that use nonviolent direct action, or violence to achieve their aims. Antifa political activism includes non-violent methods such as poster and flyer campaigns, mutual aid, speeches, protest marches, and community organizing. Some who identify as antifa also use tactics involving digital activism, doxing, harassment, physical violence, and property damage. Supporters of the movement aim to combat far-right extremists, including neo-Nazis and white supremacists. 

A lot of folks are asking can Trump declare them to be a domestic terrorist group. Many are saying he can't. My opinion is the devil is always in the vagueness.  Since Antifa is technically not a group, Trump's attempted designation would allow his supporters to cast a wide net over a lot of people and groups they don't like, perhaps causing them to be subjected to all sorts of negative consequences.

Some have already started calling out people.

The tweet above is from a white supremacist who calls himself Baked Alaska. He, like so many other dregs, became prominent during Trump's first term by attaching themselves to his coattails. His actual name is Anthime Joseph "Tim" Gionet who, according to Wikipedia, was a rapper and a Internet prankster before he made a turn in 2016 as a far-right influencer.

Also, according to Wikipedia

In 2016, Gionet turned to the politics of Donald Trump and the alt-right in what he described as a rejection of "political correctness". By 2017, Gionet's political views had radicalized; that year, he began to use his social media platform and Internet activism to promote racist and antisemitic ideologies, which included sharing neo-Nazi content on social media. He also played a role in the 2017 white supremacist Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. 

 . . . Originally known as an extremely online personality, Baked Alaska was gradually banned from most mainstream social media platforms. In January 2021, Gionet livestreamed the U.S. Capitol building breach by a pro-Trump mob, which was found to be a violation of his release. 

It was later reported that Gionet's footage was used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to identify other trespassers. Gionet was later arrested by federal agents that month in connection with his activities at the Capitol. He was released pending trial and continued livestreaming while facing federal charges. On January 10, 2023, Gionet was sentenced to 60 days in jail. Gionet was pardoned by Donald Trump on January 20, 2025.

As you can see by the tweet above, Gionet is practically in super gleeful mood at the thought of exploiting Trump's stance against Antifa to wreak all sorts of havoc. But he's definitely an expert when it comes to cowering and crying. The following is Gionet when he was pepper sprayed during the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

 

 I interrupted his "we are so back" fest to remind him of the infamous moment above:

Didn't you cry like a baby when u got maced? pic.twitter.com/uEgLyFVBR0

— Holy Bullies (@holybullies) September 18, 2025

He didn't particularly care to be reminded.

But while Gionet didn't like it, a lot of other folks do. They were even asking for a copy of the video. 

I could use this moment to express the weariness I have with the American public's short memories, but instead I think I'll simply enjoy this. And hope that you do, too. 

Gionet is the perfect example of some of the types Donald Trump attracts and empowers - power hungry, chickenshit cowards who get a charge from jabbing people with their resentments, insecurities, and false senses of entitlement.

'Nancy Mace's latest attempt to exploit Charlie Kirk's death fails' & other Wed/Thur news briefs

Nancy Mace

Trying again to raise her profile by exploiting Charlie Kirk's death, Rep. Nancy Mace began a war of words against another Congressional representative, Ilhan Omar, after misrepresenting what she said about Kirk's death. She also began a push to censure Omar. As you can see, by the top news brief, even other Republicans aren't buying her bull.

GOP defections sink effort to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar

Nancy Mace Pushes Ilhan Omar Censure, Suggests Deportation, Says ‘F**k Her’ 

Ilhan Omar slams Nancy Mace's attack on her for Kirk remarks. ‘You belong in rehab'

This and other things she has done to exploit Kirk's death proves that Mace is without a doubt, the sleaziest, most disgusting member of Congress. And that is INCLUDING Ted Cruz. She's like Alexis on 'Dynasty' without the beauty, style, intelligence, good fashion sense, taste, culture or basic decency (and that's saying a lot because Alexis had very little decency.) Mace is an attention-desperate, greedy, grasping monstrosity who would roll around in dogshit to get at least give minutes on Fox News.

Charlie Kirk's 'avengers' are making opportunistic fools of themselves

This post is not about Charlie Kirk.

Instead, it's about those who have taken it upon themselves to avenge his death, so to speak.  I'm talking about all of the folks who are issuing violent threat, doxxing people, putting up social media blacklists causing people to get fired for comments which can be construed as celebrating Kirk's death, and targeting groups they claim are celebrating Kirk's death.

I'm talking about people like Vice President J.D. Vance, Rep Nancy Mace, our Family Dollar Fuhrer Stephen Miller, Donald Trump himself, other right-wing Congressional leaders and assorted hysterically unhinged far-right social media influencers. These are the folks who claim that they want to "preserve Charlie Kirk's defense of free speech" by creating a reign of terror against speech.

Don't get me wrong because I understand the anger. A lot of folks got called out for making fun of George Floyd's murder. And some of those comments about Kirk have been distasteful. There can be an argument made about free speech and an opposite one made about the consequences of speech. 

But in truth, this situation with Kirk strikes me as opportunistic. With Floyd, people were angry at the barbaric way he died. People on the right came out with all sort vile claims about Floyd after his death. They claimed he was a woman beater and drug user. They, Charlie Kirk including, claimed that all the rage over his death was exaggerated.

But to a lot of people, how Floyd lived his life wasn't the point. It was the vulgar way he died.  The image of the Derek Chauvin with his knee callously on Floyd's neck put an enduring image to accompany claims made by Black Americans about police brutality.

In stark contrast, something incredibly distasteful is peeking out behind all the anger against those who have been accused of celebrating Kirk's murder. The threats of retribution, compiled social media blacklists, name calling and finger pointing seems to not be coming from a place of rage about Kirk's death, but a place of veiled disappointment that none of the groups Kirk targeted with his vitriol can be scapegoated for his murder.  

No "transgender mass shooter," no "criminally minded Black person," no "savage illegal."  When it came to who murdered Kirk, none of the tropes he exploited to dehumanize could be applied.  There was no "Charlie Kirk was right about these people and that's why he was murdered" narrative which could be created. The alleged perpetrator, Tyler Robinson, is a 22-year-old white man from a conservative Republican family. 

So aside from trying to whitewash all of the vulgar aspects of Kirk's comments and attempting to make Robinson out to be an innocent victim of "leftist indoctrination" (not to mention hanging on to a story about his alleged transgender roommate/lover/or what have you), self-anointed avengers of Charlie Kirk decided to rally around attacking the only folks they can   - those who they claim celebrated his murder. 

None of these people, as distasteful some of their comments were - had anything to do with Kirk's death, but they serve a purpose. Charlie Kirk's avengers want to create a nationwide revolution around his murder but the very thing they lack is a suitable scapegoat. Regardless of the way he lived, Floyd's death spurred genuine anger about police brutality.  Kirk's death is spurring genuine anger too, but it's not in the direction his so-called avengers can exploit. So, until a more suitable scapegoat comes along, the folks accused of celebrating Kirk's death are suitable distractions to channel the crowd rage.

 And if a more suitable scapegoat doesn't come along, don't be surprised if Charlie Kirk's 'avengers' attempt to create one.

Charlie Kirk assassination proves how spiritually rotten Nancy Mace's soul is

Usually when I wrote a post about the exploits of someone who wants to eliminate our equality, some of y'all say "we're not surprised " when you read it. However, I am a firm believer of putting things down for "receipt keeping" or memory storage. We cannot become so desensitized to the enemies of our equality that we lose the desire to point out their hypocrisies and morally rotten nature.

 This evening, I spotlight Nancy Mace (again.) If there was a prize for duplicitous behavior in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Mace would be a top contender. The tweet below is her statements when there was a claim (now unproven) that the bullets used in the murder has "pro-trans ideology" etched on them.

Nancy Mace today: “It sounds like the shooter was a tranny, or pro-tranny.”

Now that a 22-year-old white male, Tyler Robinson, from a wealthy conservative Republican family has been arrested for the murder, Mace transformed herself from an avenging angel with the flaming sword to St. Bernadette:

We know Charlie Kirk would want us to pray for such an evil, and lost individual like Tyler Robinson to find Jesus Christ.

We will try to do the same.

— Rep. Nancy Mace (@RepNancyMace) September 12, 2025

A little advice, Nancy dear.  Perhaps you should worry less about Tyler Robinson finding Jesus and start looking for Him yourself.  If someone looked up the phrase "split hell wide open" in the dictionary, they'd find your Congressional photo. 

I'd wager that at this point, your soul is so rotten that the devil himself wouldn't claim it.

A message from me to all of the Charlie Kirk whitewashers. Stop being hypocrites.

Can certain people on the so-called left please get off of their soapboxes until all of the facts about Charlie Kirk's assassination come in. I understand your sentiment and agree with the fact that violence is wrong, and political violence is abominable but over the last few days after that awful event, some of y'all have been getting on my damn nerves with your jockeying for position in terms of who can decry Kirk's murder the best.

Yes, murdering someone simply because you don't agree with their opinion is awful, but this need for so many of y'all to jump on your pedestals and decry the alleged motives behind Kirk's murder before we even KNOW the motive is bordering on parody. It's the same as people auditioning for a musical singing the same song, as if their version would somehow make the song sound different and awe-inspiring.

And I have a more pressing problem with some of you seeking to whitewash Charlie Kirk's legacy. When he was alive, a lot of you condemned his words and his actions and the negative effect they had on our political discourse.   Now after his death, you're minimizing his words and actions to so-called differences of opinion.  Why are some of you being hypocrites.

People may not like what I say, but I can honestly say that my opinion of Charlie Kirk hasn't changed an iota.  He was a lying sleazebag demagogue. He was a bully who targeted people who could NOT fight him back. His "debates" were rigged circuses with the dignity and humanity of the groups he demeaned treated like some trophy for whoever's verbal technique was the best.  But he did NOT deserve to be murdered. And I grieve for his wife and children. 

Now see, how hard is that? I can decry his murder, show sympathy for his family and STILL call him out for what he was. Why can't some of you?

And let's be really honest here. Some people's desire to whitewash Charlie Kirk's life's is commensurate to how "delusionally white" and/or "straight-acting" they are. They get to pretend that they can be observers of the entire thing and not involved. Those of us who aren't in those categories can't get away with that. We can't feign sitting on a distant perch and observing. We deal with the effects of not only Kirk's demagoguery, but the demagoguery of those like him. We see it every day and feel it every day and unlike many, we can't pretend it doesn't exist or minimize it as a simple difference of opinion.

Just as Charlie Kirk did not deserve his fate, our lives, dignity, and worth as human beings shouldn't be up for debate or treated like a prize.  And the attacks on our lives, dignity, and worth as human beings shouldn't be minimized as a simple difference of opinion for any reason. Ever.

Nancy Mace loses it after being confronted about her 'gender-affirming care'' & other Wed/Thur news briefs

Editor's note - Charlie Kirk was assassinated today. He was a homophobic, racist bully and an all-around terrible human being, but he didn't deserve to die the way he did. As of now, we don't know who did it. I can only hope that this country takes a lesson from what happened today about our rhetoric, the people we elect, and those we choose as our leaders. Pray for Mr. Kirk's family, especially his widow and two children.
