How about monitoring your own stupid, conservative asses.
So, they’re not just going after trans people, but pro-trans rights groups. I hate to say it, but that tracks.
I don’t fit any of the letters that the queer community have identified with, but I absolutely consider myself an ally. Why can’t they just leave these people alone??

They'll never run out of scapegoats. That's what majority who are sleepwalking through this don't realize: you may be next to be persecuted.

Remember, white separatists can't be terrorists because us law doesn't actually allow any domestic group to be labeled as such - but people who think the government should leave queer people alone can be...because this administration is lawless.

Seriously. It's so fucking ridiculous! Who cares?!
I think our strategy in this area should be to reach the young people. On average, they have less exposure to the pointless hatred and fear of these people drilled into older generations. The dinosaurs will die off.

This dinosaur has never been concerned with who someone wants to have a relationship with so long as everyone involved is a consenting adult.

Ditto. I don't concern myself with things that don't concern me.

Hegseth Going After Mark Kelly. Again.
Quote:Just three days after a majority of federal appellate judges signaled that one Pete Hegseth campaign to punish Sen. will hit a brick wall, the secretary of defense declared that "legal counsel will review" the Arizona Democrat afresh for saying something the public already knows about the Iran war and U.S. weapons stockpiles.
Kelly appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation" and said Sunday, on the heels of a classified briefing, that it was "shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines" — and that it would take "years" to replenish certain stockpiles, something Hegseth himself acknowledged publicly in a Q&A with Kelly. A tussle on X followed nonetheless, with Hegseth mockingly referring to Kelly as "Captain" and accusing him of "blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a *CLASSIFIED* Pentagon briefing he received."
"Did he violate his oath … again?" Hegseth wondered aloud. "@DeptofWar legal counsel will review."
It didn't take long for Kelly to respond.
"We had this conversation in a public hearing a week ago and you said it would take 'years' to replenish some of these stockpiles. That's not classified, it's a quote from you," the senator said. "This war is coming at a serious cost and you and the president still haven't explained to the American people what the goal is."
Kelly also shared a video of Hegseth's answers to his questions at the public hearing, including an admission that depending on the weapons system it would take "years" to reach two to four times "what we have today."
So, Pentagon Pete is going to have DOD lawyers investigate Kelly for repeating something Hegseth said in public because it was 'classified'. My giddy aunt.
