Canadian Doctor Shot By IDF Describes Gaza’s Devastated Medical System | Dr Tarek Loubani | TMR
Please watch this video. It is so important to understand just what Israel is doing to hospitals, medical providers, and how they just don’t see any Palestinian or their supporters as humans, as people. To the Israelis, they are all something to be wiped out, to be terrorized to nonexistence. Hugs. Scottie
Doctor’s Gaza Experience Brings MSNBC’s Joy Reid To Tears
Let’s talk about Oklahoma vaguely….
What Beau is referring to is an N.B or transgender teen who was brutally assaulted in a girls’ bathroom. Notice that the attacks on trans and non-binary people in bathrooms got much worse at the urging of right wing hate preachers / politicians. Notice it is the rhetoric is always that trans people will hurt your daughters, but the facts show that is wrong. It is the trans people being hurt by cis people. For needing to use a toilet. I did not post the quote but in the first article it mentions Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction, is facing intense scrutiny over his ties to Chaya Raichik, the figure behind the far-right Libs of TikTok hate account, and for their outspoken stance against transgender rights. Hugs. Scottie
The grandmother, Sue Benedict, told The Independent that her child had been the subject of months of intensifying bullying that began earlier in 2023 after Oklahoma’s Republican-led government banned transgender students from using school bathrooms that align with their gender identity.Benedict told their grandmother that they and another trans student had fought the other students in the bathroom, according to the Independent. The teen told her they’d hit their head on the floor. “Nex did not see themselves as male or female,” Sue Benedict said. “Nex saw themselves right down the middle. I was still learning about it, Nex was teaching me that.” https://news.yahoo.com/oklahoma-transgender-student-dies-allegedly-125629309.html

What is nonbinary?
A nonbinary person experiences their gender identity and/or gender expression outside of the binary categories of “man” and “woman.” Other words may be used by nonbinary people to describe their gender more specifically, including agender, bigender, demigender and pangender.
Some nonbinary people call themselves transgender and consider themselves part of the transgender community, while others do not.
“Nonbinary is an umbrella term that encompasses many different ways to understand one’s gender,” according to GLAAD.
What is transgender?
Transgender describes a person whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
A person can be transgender without having gone through a transition — the process in which a person brings their gender expression and/or their body into alignment with their gender identity. A transition can include a social transition, legal transition and medical transition.
What is cisgender?
Cisgender refers to a person who is not transgender, and whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth.

Texas School Board Member Resigns After Helping Evangelical Film Crew Sneak Into High School [VIDEO]
I posted on this the other day. I was outraged about the sneaky way it was done and how if a left leaning group was to do this, the right would lynch someone. So it is appropriate that I post the follow-up. Hugs. Scottie
Dallas’s ABC affiliate reports:
A Keller ISD school board member announced on Facebook Sunday she will resign from her position. In a post from her now-deleted page, Sandi Walker wrote she decided to resign as a trustee after prayer and conversations with friends and family. Walker added she was proud of what the board had accomplished in her nearly two years as a member.
Walker was one of two KISD trustees who issued apologies amid controversy about an Evangelist film crew from the Netherlands who was allowed into a school and filmed students without the district’s or parents’ consent. The district confirmed this happened on Feb. 9.
The superintendent says the film crew assured them no students or teachers would be visible in their final product. The district says its lawyers have “directed the film crew to destroy all footage it collected or return it to Keller ISD.”
Read the full article. My first post on the incident is here. The evangelical network that hired the film crew recently produced a documentary titled “God, Jesus, Trump.”
I bet it was a conversation with an attorney was the real reason to bail.
And how do we know 100% of that all video footage was destroyed. They’ve shown they can’t be trusted. Anyway, I’d still sue them and the school district.
P.S. Maybe this religious freak with come up with a Bible verse that covers being sued into the stone age.
Fascinating how she prayed over the decision to resign, but she apparently didn’t bother to pray over the decision to commit this offensive act in the first place.
Maybe there’s a lesson for her in there, somewhere…
I’m sure she did. Her ‘god’ told her he was cool with it. I suppose ‘he’ changed his mind, or something.
She very easily had a ‘feeling’ that Jesus was talking directly to her, so she responded with her gut.
And now she’s going to find out exactly how that failed mode of being is going to bankrupt her. The lawsuit will be expensive.
Any action, no matter how criminal or heinous, is okay if you’re doing it for Jesus. See: murdering women’s healthcare providers.
why is it Jesus only tells them they fucked up after the fact?
It’s nice to see parents standing up to the Christian Groomers.
The evangelical network that hired the film crew recently produced a documentary titled “God, Jesus, Trump.”
So they let insane people have access to children without their parents’ consent. It’s no wonder the parents are upset.
That thing where conservatives are outraged that strangers have access to children:
This was illegal. Most HS students are minors. You can’t put them in tv or in a movie without parental consent. This is a legal mess for the school that has only just started.
Let me re-write this. I got caught. I fucked up. I should have never been elected with my Jesus ideology. I’m not sorry in the least.
“The Jesus made me do it!”
No apology whatsoever, typical “good christian”.
Why do they always have to shove their goddamn idiot lifestyles in our face?

Florida Bill Would Place Chaplains In Public Schools
Again like my last post, evangelical / fundamentalist Christians feel both entitled and driven to push their god / Jesus on everyone else kids in PUBLIC schools. No one is saying the families that want a religious life can not have one. Of course they can, but they can not force it on other people’s kids. They can do it in their homes, in their churches, even in public they can show their religion. They just can not grab kids from other families and force them to go to church or other ceremonies. But as their power and numbers decline, as young people reject their message of hate and bigotry, instead of changing their plan is to force indoctrinate other people’s children. The goal is to convince more kids to “Turn to god and hate others who are different”. Hugs. Scottie
Florida Politics reports:
The three Rs (reading, writin’, and arithmetic) are slated to have a new addition soon in public schools: religion. The Senate legislation (SB 1044) is slated to be heard in Tuesday morning’s Appropriations Committee on Education.
That bill, sponsored by Sen. Erin Grall, would “authorize volunteer school chaplains to provide support, services, and programs to students as assigned by the district school board or charter school governing board.”
“Parents must be permitted to select a volunteer school chaplain from the list provided by the school district, which must include the chaplain’s religious affiliation, if any,” the bill reads.
Read the full article.
A similar law has already been approved in Texas, where it is spearheaded by an avowed Christian nationalist who once worked for an anti-LGBTQ hate group.
Republican state Sen. Erin Grall has appeared here in recent weeks for her bill to ban minors from social media.
Last year Grall appeared here for her bill that would require rape victims to show proof of having been raped in order to qualify for an abortion exception.
Grall that same month authored a bill that would fine trans people $10,000 for using the “wrong” public restroom.
. . . but not a clinical or administrative social worker because that would be . . .
“socialist”.
This is clearly to expand their victim base and expand access to children for them.
My Iman will be right there.
I’m guessing the local coven and the Church of Satan can each send a representative.
“Parents must be permitted to select a volunteer school chaplain from the list provided by the school district“
I’m guessing only the right brand of Christian will get onto their list.
Given a choice between leaving my child with a christian priest or a Wiccan, there’s no question which I’d decide.
Which provides yet more grounds for a lawsuit.
Christianists are LGBTQ people’s biggest enemies, they have been forever.
…and the result was:
Evangelicals Sneak Film Crew Into Texas High School
Evangelical trump loving Jesus touting Christians who need to lie and sneak around the rules protecting children to get what they want. Because protecting kids only matters when they can use to deny LGBTQIA people exist and that kids are born that way. That it is OK to be LGBTQIA. No when it comes to pushing their version of Jesus they believe the laws / rules don’t apply to them. Every thing should be allowed them to push their Jesus on your kids, on all kids. So they lie, cheat, pretend they are not doing what they are or that they just did not know the rules. All in the name of Jesus. Hugs. Scottie.
Dallas’s ABC affiliate reports:
As they stood together near Keller ISD’s Central High School on Friday, a group of parents shared their anger and frustration. “I’m livid,” said Laney Hawes, a parent whose child attends Central HS. “Our rights and our kids rights have been violated.” Their anger stems from what the district confirmed happened last Friday, February 9.
Sandi Walker, a school board trustee brought an Evangelical-based film crew into the high school to conduct interviews with her. Multiple students and parents told WFAA children were filmed and interviewed by the production crew without their consent. Trustee Micah Young was also involved in the filming.
Evangelische Omroep (EO), a Netherlands-based Evangelical broadcast television network previously produced the documentary: ‘God, Jesus, Trump.’ Elliot Mullaney, a freshman at Central High School said he witnessed the filming take place during his lunch hour.
Read the full article. The tweets below tell a fuller story so give them a minute to fully load. According to the video report, the film crew took advantage of the school’s principal being absent that day.
Grooming for Jesus.
I think their version, at least in the US, is spelled “Jeebus”.
I have seen prisons that looked more welcoming
This was mine.
We didn’t even have windows.
