Thanks to Ali for the link. But seriously why is no paper or his moral police followers who call gay people, trans people, and teachers groomers and pedophiles have not called for pedophile tRump to drop out. By the way, with WordPress new format this was a huge pain to post and took over an hour to do. Hugs. Scottie

‘Outrageous to decent people’: Disgusted judge finally releases Jeffrey Epstein rape testimony that preceded sweetheart plea deal
Among the revelations contained in the transcripts are the statements from victims who were minors at the time they were paid to provide “massages” to Epstein — an exchange that quickly escalated into sexual abuse, trafficking, and rape, according to victims’ testimony.
Prior to marrying Melania in January 2005, Trump was calling Jeffrey Epstein in 2004 on the regular.

‘Before marrying Melania in 2005’: What new documents claim about Trump-Epstein
New documents which were unreleased so far claim that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were closer than it was believed. Transcripts show Trump called Epstein many times between 2004 and 2006. The screenshots were sealed in 2008 as part of Alexander Acosta’s deal for Jeffrey Epstein and were released on July 1.
“Trump’s name appears over and over again on Jeffrey Epstein’s message logs in the grand jury docs released this week. It is also undisputed: Trump’s name appears 7 times on Epstein’s private jet flight logs, that Epstein flew on Trump’s jet with a young girl of indeterminate age, girls who Epstein trafficked worked at Mar-A-Lago, a girl Epstein trafficked mentioned visiting Trump’s casino in a recently released deposition transcript.

There have been several recent incidents where far-right, white supremacist groups have targeted LGBTQ people, including last weekend at a pride event in Idaho and a during a drag story hour at a library in California. J.M. Berger, a writer and researcher who focuses on extremist ideologies and has written four books on the topic, joins William Brangham to discuss.
Some Pride month events across the country, like Drag Queen Story Hours, have been targeted by far-right protestors.

Notice the lack of positive response by school staff and teachers. This is what red states want also. They do not want teachers to defend or stick up for students. Force all kids to be straight cis little John and Jane, who harass and harm the LGBTQ+ kids forcing them to hide who they are. Horrible. But hey, they call themselves good Christians. Hugs. Scottie
While Gen Z contains the highest percentage of out-LGBTQ+ people, life is far from a progressive paradise for this age group. Nearly half of LGBTQ+ Gen Z students in the UK are still experiencing queerphobic bullying in schools, some of which comes from teachers and administrators, a new survey reports.
The survey comes from Theirworld, an international children’s education charity, and global research firm YouGov, which polled 545 LGBTQ+ youth ages 16 to 24 in the UK. 47% of respondents said they have experienced bullying from their peers over their sexual orientation, 25% for their gender identity.
Trigger warning: sensitive content
47% of LGBTQ+ youth in the UK have been bullied and/or discriminated against in education because of their sexual orientation, according to our survey 📋
This bullying included verbal abuse (73%), harassment (53%), online abuse (31%), threats of violence (24%), purposeful misgendering (19%), physical abuse (16%) and sexual abuse (15%).
“When I came out as a lesbian in 2013, I had a brick thrown at my face and screamed at that I was a fagg*t,” one survey respondent said. “I was ostracized by my female peers and refused to get changed for PE with them as they would all hide. I am not publicly out as nonbinary.”
“I was added to a group chat of students where I was outed to the full year group and subsequently bullied, called slurs and names daily,” recalled another respondent. “Most teachers ignored the bullying especially if it was in their classroom. They would mock my gender and discuss my identity with other students in a negative way.”
Such negative responses from school staff represented a sobering trend in the data. Of those students who experienced anti-LGBTQ+ bullying, nearly half never reported it at all. 18% reported it once and 30% reported it multiple times. Of those who reported their experiences, 72% said that school staff responded badly.
In the end, more than 1 in 4 LGBTQ+ respondents said they do not view schools as safe for them. “All young people deserve a safe place to learn, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation,” said Theirworld president Justin van Fleet. “However, LGBTQ+ youth face higher rates of bullying and discrimination than their peers in schools around the world.”

In response to the growing rate of bullying among LGBTQ+ youth, Theirworld has launched a global taskforce to provide increased advocacy. Van Fleet explained, “The task force will focus on issues of safe campaigning in challenging contexts and allow LGBTQ+ youth leaders and their allies to have a powerful platform and network to advocate for more inclusive education policies in communities around the world.”
Trigger warning what follows is about my abuse as a young, little boy. It is a painful memory that I have that may hurt others reading it.
—————————————————————————————————————-
When I was little like 4 to 6 / 7 yrs old one of the things done to me by both the hell spawn siblings to cause me pain and make me compliant and by my adult AF (adoptive father) to make me more compliant was … using rubbing alcohol on my butt and little boy parts. Ok I have danced around it, I guess I have to explain.
I would be grabbed by the hell spawn when no one was around. It took at least two or three to do this. They would strip me of my clothing, knowing what was coming I tried to resist which really they liked because it showed how much more powerful they were than me. They would force me face down, with one / more holding my upper body down, and another pinning my legs down.
Trigger warning, last chance to bail on this, I sure wish I could, but this has been hitting me day and night so I have to get it out.
Once they had me pinned down, they would pry my clenched butt cheeks open. I would struggle to hold them closed with everything I had … but I always lost. Once they had my butt cheeks spread open, they would pour rubbing alcohol down my butt crack, letting it flow over my stretched butthole and over my tinny scrotum / little penis. I would cry, thrash, beg, … and it burned so bad. Often the hell spawn siblings would stop there unless one of them wanted to punish me more or one of the males wanted to prove a point. The adoptive father would do this sometimes if I did not willingly give him what he wanted. They / he would put his finger in rubbing alcohol and then rub it on my anus, my butt hole, then resoak their finger and jam it into me. I soon learned that when it was threatened to be a good and submit with no fight, to be the submissive fuck … doll, fleshlight, what ever, be the warm body they needed to come in, to humiliate. The memories hurt, but not as much as the pain of having rubbing alcohol poured over my anus, little balls and on my tiny penis. Or forced roughly into my sore asshole. I learned to not fight, to give in quickly and often. It was bad enough to have a penis, a dick thrust into me at that age with no lube and little prep, but to have such a painful substance put on it first … it was horrible.
This is the memory that has been disturbing my sleep and upsetting me during the day. Thank you for letting me express it, to try to get it out of my system. Hugs. Scottie
Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters is requiring all classrooms in the state to have Bibles and study its influence on America’s history. Walters talked to NBC News’ Melissa Parra about his new Bible instruction and some of the criticism it is facing.
The power of the public needs to wake up and fight back. Yes the wealthy and businesses have made it ever harder to find any time to even read news much less take action. But unless we do the past will be our future. The wealthy bought the republican party and even some in the democratic party to support the oligarchy and return to the gilded age of robber barons and a government too small and powerless to stop them. Back then the US was basically run by wealthy corporations and business interests. The people, the public not only did not have a real voice, they simply did not matter. They were only livestock to make the companies more money and when they couldn’t do that anymore, they suffered and died. A life span for the worker was 47, the life span for the wealthy was into the late 70s. Is that what we want for the US? Please people rise up, vote for Biden, the wealthy are desperate and funding all the challenges to him. RFK, Jill Stein, Cornell West none of them can win. Period. The math doesn’t work, the system doesn’t allow it. There are only two candidates that can get the needed 270 electoral votes to win, to be president. These others are simply spoilers paid to tank Biden and help tRump. Don’t let them do it. Hugs. Scottie
