I’m sure you’ve seen me hypothesize that the Christian Right wants to drive trans people out of the public sphere. That they would be happy if we didn’t exist. And maybe you thought it was hyperbole.
I have long been a fan of Beau of the Fifth Column. Recently, Beau’s wife took over making the videos. Beau was “burned out.” At first, I was put off. No one (in my admittedly skewed POV) could replace Beau! Well, TLDR. Belle is just as good as Beau, and the channel continues to be a great source of information.
Thanks to Scottie for sharing this excellent deep dive into Vance’s recent nonsense interview. The journey continues, with a little help from my friends.
It feels painfully obvious that the recent rash of anti-transgender laws, bills, and executive actions in the United States are harmful to the mental health of all transgender people. None more so than transgender youth, it seems.
Very much worth noting, The National Hurricane Center is part of NOAA, and as such, is one of the resources that Project 2025 would eliminate. Vote for Harris. Please.
A recent article in The Guardian is headlined “US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds”. I won’t link to that article, as I don’t like to give clicks to that largely transphobic media source.
For months now, since well before the mainstream media flipped out over the poor debate performance by President Biden, I’ve seen strong evidence that Trump is in the early stages of dementia. I’m not a doctor, but I think this is clear to anyone who has ever watched the decline of an elderly loved one.
A claim by Donald Trump on Fox News that the crowd who attended the debate between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris “went absolutely crazy” when he was fact-checked led to both amusement and new questions about his mental decline on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday.
There was no crowd. No one was there except for Trump, Harris, the two moderators, and whatever stage hands were there to handle the televising of the debate. That was ten days ago. And “the crowd went absolutely crazy” when the moderators fact-checked him?
Seriously, it’s time for Trump to move to a memory care facility. The man is in trouble. And if he ever gets his hands on the nuclear codes, so is the world. Never mind what he has promised to do to immigrants and trans people. Or the danger he represents to women’s reproductive health. Or Project 2025.
Please, ensure you are registered to vote. And vote like your life, and those of anyone you care about, hang in the balance. Because they do.
I am a well educated woman, a lesbian, and an eclectic Pagan. I am loving and giving. I am a caretaker type, who often fails miserably at self care. I have fibromyalgia, seizure disorder, and AFib.
I am complex, complicated, and worth the effort.
