Three things I love in one video. I really enjoy The Majority Report, I love why they have Digby on, and I am very supportive of Platner’s progressive anti establishment corporate democrats policies. As Digby says the party is much more left today that it used to be since the 90s and the center is much more right than it was. She says we have to push back hard against the push to the right that the establishment cooperate democrat’s leadership has made. Hugs

The Right’s Anti-LGBTQ Hysteria is Now Indistinguishable From Satire
While I detest the end song he plays I love Mark’s take on issues. He doesn’t pull his punches and lays out the facts. In this case it is important to watch to the end where he elaborates on the current attempt to genocide trans people by making them illegal as Russia has. Now requiring that no business, event or medical facility that takes any government money can allow any kind of support or positive affirmation of trans people. He talks about how important it is to let trans youth socially transition and live as the gender they identify with, and to get puberty blockers to not go through the wrong puberty. He mentions trans children figure out their gender the same way and ages that cis kids do. Hugs
Panic over the existence of LGBTQ+ people is becoming so ridiculous it’s almost impossible to tell if it’s satire or not. In this video we’ll look at some of the most ridiculous examples of right-wing hysteria over queer people. Well also talk about how conservatives have successfully weaponized their outrage against queer people and how culture influences politics.

The Republican Front-Runner for Maine Governor Is Completely Unhinged
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles is one of the leading contenders to become Maine’s next governor, and his recent comments should alarm anyone who values evidence, competence, or basic reality.
Charles has suggested he would personally counsel women out of having abortions, claimed transgender identities are impossible because of Noah’s Ark, repeated the debunked “litter box” conspiracy theory about schools, and embraced a culture-war agenda that seems ripped straight from social media misinformation.
Yet despite these bizarre remarks, he’s a serious candidate with a real shot at winning the Republican nomination.

‘You can’t cancel Pride, no matter how hard you try’: GLAAD CEO on some GOP rebranding June
As I have posted before on this subject this is an attempt to push a fundamentalist Christianity on the entire rest of the public. It is an attempt to enshrine Christian nationalism and the doctrines of one sect into the laws we all must live by. The people doing these attacks want to make any and all LGBTQ+ content seem dangerous and harmful which would require warning labels. It is about demonizing the way other people live because the hyper religous don’t like it. The Christians are free to live as they wish and think as they want but they can not be allowed to oppress and require everyone to live as they do. They are a minority and the polls show the majority of the public doesn’t share these haters belief that LGBTQ+ people are dangerous or bad. The majority of people are live the way they want to and let others live the ways they want to. Republicans keep using attacks on trans and gay marriage to distract from real issues, to enrage their base to excite them to vote, and to demonize a minority group so that the status quo can go back to the 1950s cis straight white male hierarchy. Hugs
Some GOP lawmakers are attempting to rebrand June, which has been nationally recognized as Pride Month, as “Nuclear Family Month” in some states. GLAAD CEO & President Sarah Kate Ellis joins Laura Barrón-López to share her thoughts on this and a new poll around support for LGBTQIA+ communities.
A Right-Wing Legal Group’s Lawsuit Over a High School Wrestling Match Falls Apart on Video
This is another Riley Gaines person trying to say she lost only because her opponent was trans. They claim that the wrestler Kallie Keeler was sexually assaulted. The issue is that all the wrestlers asked and the experts say the moves were standard wrestling moves. Even the coach says that fingers often end up in places they don’t belong in normal activities in public. I was not a wrestler, but I know someone who did wrestle in high school. I had joked with him I couldn’t have done wrestling with all the hands on the crotch of the wrestlers touching each other’s cocks and balls or fingers in the butt. He told me it was very common and if you watched many boys got up from the floor during or after a match with hard ons or wet spots on their uniforms where their dicks are. The law suit is an over the top attempt to get wrestler Kallie Keeler a bunch of rewards that she did not earn and to punish all trans athletes. It also is so she can repeat Riley Gaines track of using her anti-trans hate to be on TV and make a lot of money she wouldn’t make if she was not pushing bigotry and hate. Plus if the opponent was a cis girl and accidentally did the same thing she wouldn’t have won either. This is a Christian family who feels entitled to award seh did not earn. Athe the end of the video he reads responses and comments from anti-trans people who said it was a commonly used move and sexual touching happens. Hugs
The right-wing legal group Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a sweeping federal lawsuit on behalf of Washington high school wrestler Kallie Keeler, claiming she was sexually assaulted during a match against a transgender opponent.
The problem? There’s video of the match, and according to multiple wrestlers, coaches, and wrestling experts I spoke with, it shows nothing controversial. Just legal, routine wrestling techniques.
The lawsuit goes far beyond the match itself, targeting the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA), school officials, coaches, and state authorities while demanding that Keeler’s losses to transgender athletes be erased from the record books and that trans athletes be barred from competing against her in the future.
Despite the dramatic allegations, Pierce County prosecutors declined to pursue criminal charges, and even some conservatives who oppose transgender participation in sports have criticized ADF’s characterization of the match.
FED UP Graham Platner FINALLY SNAPS And COMPLETELY TORCHES Trump!!
Kyle kulinski breaks down the attacks on Platner on main stream media and the people pushing the attacks. Such as the woman who was on CNN claiming it was a shame for the party that Platner’s transgressions were being over looked and that it was a gender problem. Kyle points out that same woman was on the Edwards for president team and stayed on after it broke he was having an affair with another woman as his wife battled cancer. Edwards committed 8 felonies to cover it up. Womanizing did not seem to bother her then. Maines House Minority Leader described Platner as having deep and disturbing personal issues. That is the same person who threw a bucket of human feces (shit) at someone, sunk three boats, nearly killed his sternman with his fooling around on the water and claimed Jesus saved him when he capsized his boat. Kulinski goes on to explain that the reason so many horrible people are attacking Platner is his stance against the oligarchy, his anti Israeli genocide, and his antiiwar stance, and he is a threat to the established order. The worst thing is the DNC has removed Platner’s campaign from their list of candidates to run adverts supporting. He is against their continuing the status quo so they would rather have a republican take the seat to maintain the support for Israel, the establishment, and more money for the wealthy at the expense of the lower incomes. Worth a watch. Hugs
Sodom & Gomorrah is not about homosexuality
Dan McCellan again goes to great lengths to explain that the bible doesn’t talk about homosexuality. He first explains that the frame work of same sex attractions did not exist in the people’s worldview. The social frame work for sex was not desire but power / authority over others with the penetrative man being the top of the hierarchy with the receiving person the woman was lower in status because she received the man as he penetrated her. If a man penetrates another man the man doing the penatrator is emasculating and feminizing the man receiving the penetration, lowering that man’s status to the level of a woman. In the culture of the time of the bible status as a man was paramount so to show dominance over another man they would rape them. Simple. He explains why they did not do to Lot’s daughters what they did to the Levite’s concubine. He goes over the reasons that Genesis 19 is about males using dominance over the other. He explains it a lot better than I can. But the main thing to understand is it was not same sex orientation that was the issue it was one man dominating another by penetrating him, which caused a loss of status that was what they were trying to say was a sin. In other words men don’t ruin the good thing we have going by making some men have a lower status or women will see we are not really so much better than them. Hugs
Today and tonight. And I am sorry
It is 6:15 my time and I am in a lot of pain and struggling. I had my allergy shots this morning then when I got home, I started to work on the laptop Ron’s sister gave him. It is a cheap incerolron windows 11 with 6 GB of RAM. It was so frustrating to deal with. I spent nearly five hours on it before I gave up, put his old Windows 10 laptop back on his desk and hooked it to his monitor along with his USB devices. By this time my pain levels were hitting maximum.
So then I went to my office and started to make tomorrow’s cartoons / memes / news post I just wore out. I started too late and am in too much pain. So Ron made supper so I could go to bed. We had originally planned for a hamburger and salad each. But as he went to make supper I told him I just wanted the salad. After I ate I was glad I did I barely ate the entire salad he made for me.
But when I thanked him and said it was good he had not cooked the hamburgers he told me he had cooked them after I told him that as he figured I wouldn’t be able to eat a salad and a hamburger so he had always planned to eat both burgers himself, which he did. I guess good that it worked out for both of us but bad that he already knew I wouldn’t be able to eat.
By the way even though this bit of information is not needed or necessary the salad was the only thing I have eaten today. I don’t know what changed. I was making great improvement in staying up and in eating. I was up to eating two rather decent meals a day. Then suddenly I couldn’t, and I suddenly needed to go back to bed in the morning and to bed before 6 or 7 pm. Ron is again worried. I told him it probably was my pain levels as the pain clinic needed to cancel my in person visit to get my trigger point injections. But I am not sure if he is buying it. Anyway. I will try to get up by 4 or 5 to get the mentioned post out in the morning. But no guarantees on that. I can only say I enjoy doing them, I really love that people want and enjoy them, but my idea of doing them one day to post the next has not worked out since my relapse. Best wishes for all and hugs for those that want them. I am off to bed.
