Some points about this. It clearly shows that Carlson is a white supremacist racist. He is saying that white people improved the black peoples lives by ruling them. By taking over the black peoples countries. Some how he sees subjugating, conquering, and forcing other people to behave and live by the religous dictates of the invaders. Hugs
The British Empire spread Protestant Christianity to the entire world. A country in the North Atlantic the size of Alabama that somehow took over the world and ruled it with decency unmatched by any empire in human history.
The British Empire was not perfect, but it was far more humane than any other, ever. It’s gone now, barely even remembered. Queen Elizabeth II was the last living link to a truly great Britain.
The British Empire was evil, they wrote, apparently totally unaware of what came after it. And speaking of, what did come after the British Empire?
How, for example, did Africa fare after the British left? Let’s see, Uganda got Idi Amin, who was a cannibal. Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and then became the poorest country on the planet under the racist lunatic Robert Mugabe. As of tonight, South Africa is still being run into the ground by an incompetent kleptocrat called Cyril Ramaphosa.
So it’s hard to see any of that as an improvement, because it’s not an improvement. Sorry, Atlantic magazine. And now, of course, the entire continent of Africa has a new master, the Chinese government. China is the latest colonial power to dominate Africa. Its subjects will be pining for the British soon, assuming they are not already.
“While Tucker Carlson attacks diversity at every opportunity, a job listing for his own show says, “We are deeply committed to diversity.”
“Tucker Carlson doesn’t just oppose diversity, he demonizes it with inflammatory rhetoric. For example:
“On the Tucker Carlson Tonight show, frequent guest Heather Mac Donald complained about the “scourge of diversity” to the approving host.
“In his own commentary, Carlson played the victim of diversity by arguing that diversity weakens the U.S. and whining, “why does anyone who questions [diversity supporters] need to be shamed, silenced and fired?” He also held himself up as a voice of courage for speaking out against this supposed oppression, saying, “We won’t stop talking.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) just shared pictures of one or more minors on Twitter in order to attack the family of a possibly transgender young person.
“This child is not old enough to vote, buy cigarettes, or watch an R rated movie, but they let her choose to have them cut her breast off,” Greene wrote while sharing a tweet with two pictures. One of the pictures shows a girl in her early teens fully dressed, the other shows a young person in their late teens or early 20s shirtless after what appears to be a double mastectomy.
“My Protect Children’s Innocence Act will stop this,” she wrote, referring to a bill she introduced last month.
Greene retweeted anti-trans activist Chloe Cole, who wrote, “Reality check: Nothing is okay about this.”
Neither Greene nor Cole appear to know the name of the person or people in the photos — they don’t look like the same person, but that may be because of the time that passed between the two photographs — how old they are, or why the latter person had undergone surgery. If the person was over the age of 18 or had a mastectomy for reasons unrelated to gender-affirming care, then Greene’s bill wouldn’t have prohibited the procedure.
Gender-affirming surgery is not performed on minors — in fact, the oft-repeated claim was rated “false” by Politifact. Nevertheless, the idea that children’s hospitals are performing gender-affirming surgeries on young children has gained traction on the far-right this past month, leading to harassment and death threats against pediatricians working at children’s hospitals.
People on Twitter criticized Greene for sharing the images of a minor without permission from the family and for trying to interfere in another person’s medical decisions.
That should be a lawsuit waiting to happen. Using photos of underage children without the parents permission.

First show the consent they got from the parents to use these 2 photos to make the kid feel bad.

According to MAGA, this child is old enough to marry, get pregnant and have a child. Focus on your own district Marge. Marcus Flowers is.
This child may be intersexed. There may have been medical reasons. This picture may be photoshopped. Exploiting children on social media is disgusting. No source to back up your claims. You want outrage and hate. You want attention. You are exploiting a child to get it. Sick
How many children do you actually think do this? This is such a non issue, and this is the hill you choose to die on. 🤣😂🤣😂 also, child rape victims are more of a problem, and you are fine with their uncle/father impregnating them, and having it to term. You don’t care.
And the anti-LGBTQ+ activists strike another hospital. Understand what they are doing, this is terrorism against a business doing lawful / legal activity. These haters cannot get their way at the ballot box so they need to threaten doctors and hospital to scare them, to make them so afraid they won’t do the legal act of caring for trans kids. They are egged on by republicans who think targeting and attacking a vulnerable segment of the population will secure an election win. As for the issues of the links in the presentation, even if you think that kids from preteen through to older teens don’t know how to shop online at these legal sex shops I would tell you that kids can google sex toys better than most adults, but the important thing is the presentation was for adults not children. Remember the goal of these activists is to remove the LGBTQ+ from society. Hugs
Christopher Rufo described what he believes to be a “profoundly disturbing collusion” between LGBTQ-affirming schools and hospitals.
Christopher Rufo, a 38-year-old anti-LGBTQ right-wing activist, is claiming that a Chicago children’s hospital has partnered with public schools to promote “radical gender theory,” kink, and sex toys to children.
As “proof” of his claim, Rufo pointed to a slideshow presentation given by representatives from the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago to administrators, teachers, and staff in middle- and high-schools located in four of the city’s public school districts.
The slideshow, entitled “Beyond Binary: Gender in Schools,” discussed how school staff can make students feel safe regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. It defined terms like cisgender and non-binary, and transphobia; discussed the historic and societal impact of gender discrimination; shared statistics on the challenges facing LGBTQ students; offered suggestions for making schools feel more welcoming to such students; and encouraged participants to discuss how to handle in-school incidents involving students coming out or those who object to LGBTQ-inclusion in schools.
It made sense that the hospital would offer such a presentation to schools since it also provides gender-affirming healthcare to trans and non-binary youth.
However, in a blog post on his personal site, Rufo wrote, “Lurie Children’s Hospital has provided materials to school leaders promoting radical gender theory, trans activism, and sexually explicit materials in at least four Chicago-area public school systems.”
He took particular offense at the last two pages of the presentation which contained links to additional resources, including support groups like GLSEN, PFLAG, and the National Center for Transgender Equality; educational websites like the Public Broadcasting System, Howard Brown health services, and the Chicago school system’s documents on gender inclusivity; as well as online articles from Teen Vogue about LGBTQ sex education and queer-inclusive books for teens.
Rufo criticized the list of resources for including links to a “’kid friendly website for gender affirming gear,’ which sells items such as artificial penis ‘packers’ and female-to-male ‘trans masc pump[s].” Another link, he added, was for an “’LGBTQ friendly sex shop for teens’ that sells a range of ‘dildos,’ ‘vibrators,’ ‘harnesses,’ ‘anal toys,’ ‘trans-friendly toys,’ and ‘kink & BDSM’ equipment.”
“The links include graphic descriptions of sadomasochism, bondage, pornography, and transgressive sex,” Rufo wrote. “Beyond the lurid nature of some of the content, these documents reveal a profoundly disturbing collusion between radical gender activists in the medical system and the public school bureaucracy.”
Rufo wrote that the hospital “has laundered the promotion of queer theory, synthetic sexual identities, and child sex toys under the guise of ‘health and education,’ devoting significant resources toward building what policy analyst Leor Sapir has called a school-to-clinic pipeline. The process is simple: children learn about and adopt ‘gender expansive’ identities in schools, which then direct them to gender clinics that can provide puberty blockers, hormone therapies, surgeries, and drug regimens that often add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs over time.”
In short, Rufo believes that the presentation was just a way to help the hospital make money off of trans and non-binary youth.
While one could argue whether the hospital should’ve included such resource links in their presentation or whether educators should send students to such websites, the presentations were only shown to adults and there’s no proof that the links were ever shared with any children. Additionally, sex toys, packers, and pumps are normal products for humans exploring sex and the transition process.
That doesn’t matter though because Rufo’s claims seek primarily to shock people who are largely ignorant about or opposed to trans healthcare, sex education in schools, and what teens view privately online.
Rufo touts himself as an “activist challenging critical race theory and gender ideology in America’s institutions.” The New Yorker credits him with helping create the national panic over so-called “critical race theory” (CRT) being taught in schools.
But Rufo’s opposition to CRT and LGBTQ issues in schools is part of his long game in sowing distrust against the public education system in order to champion for-profit school privatization.
He has repeatedly claimed that public school teachers regularly sexually abuse children and that classroom LGBTQ discussions are meant to “groom” children for such abuse. He was present when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” law, The New York Times reported.
As Rufo is likely aware, fomenting anger at gender-affirming children’s hospitals inspires others to issue death and bombing threats against pediatric doctors. This might discourage them from rendering such care and also hinders their ability to care for other sick and injured children.
We need to take these people seriously and what they are trying to do must be fought with everything we can bring to the fight. They don’t want a democracy and they have increased their reach, their actual authority in our country by a large amount. If they take over, if they install the Christian Taliban we won’t get it back. Remember Iran was a secular country before the over throw of the Shaw, and then the religious minority took over. That was back in 1978 and that religious minority has increased their hold over the population / country. They took over the schools, they took over the news systems, they restricted all aspects of the people’s lives to try to protest or even understand what was reality. Religion and the religious leaders took over the entire society and made the reality of the people what the religion’s leaders desired. This is what these people want for the US. This is what they are working hard as they can make happen in the US. Hugs
Via email from Gab founder and CEO Andrew Torba:
Gab is releasing our first book this week titled Christian Nationalism: A Biblical Guide To Taking Dominion and Discipling Nations where among other things we will explore the true Christian founding of America that happened long before 1776.
Christian Nationalism is a spiritual, political, and cultural movement comprised of Christians who are working to build a parallel Christian society grounded in a Biblical worldview.
This book is a guide for Christians to take dominion and disciple their families, churches, and all nations for the glory of Jesus Christ our King. (Matthew 28:19)
The book is now available to order on Amazon and we need your help to skyrocket it to the top of the charts and make disciples of Jesus Christ out of Amazon readers.
We will be releasing the book on as many platforms as possible in order to get this important message out to the masses.
There are many books popping up about Christian Nationalism that are written by woke neoliberal elites who hate you.
We want our book to stand out among the crowd and be the defining book on Christian Nationalism to prevent our enemies from subverting the term. We need your help to make this happen.
Please consider ordering a copy today. When you get your copy please leave us a 5 start review to help further boost the book rank.
Together we can make this the number one book on Amazon and either force them to leave it there for millions to see or force them to ban it when the ADL gives them a call, which will futher promote the book’s popularity.
“If you want to know more about Christian Nationalism, this book is for you. You will be getting your info from the horse’s mouth, as it were, instead of from the mainstream media, which is oriented more to the other end of the horse.” -Douglas Wilson, Blog and Mablog
Andrew Torba CEO, Gab.com Jesus Christ is King
On top of including the Amazon link to buy the book (which is currently still up), Torba also links to swag promoting the book – all Christian nationalism memorabilia.
The book is independently published, and Torba's aware that @amazon can take it down at any time. But even if that were to happen, Torba would take it as a victory for further "promoting" his book.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday took a much-needed swipe at disgraced ex-President Donald Trump, highlighting the significance of a peaceful transition of power in American democracy. Francis Maxwell reports.
Following news that the top secret documents Donald Trump stole include nuclear secrets, his legal team led by Alina Habba went on radical right wing media to discuss the “funny memes” about Trump stealing the records. File this under insanity.
Again that law pushed by DeathSantis and adored by the maga bigots is preventing the teaching of US history and the education of the students is white washed to remove any LGBTQ+ achievements or advancements. If you go to the article linked you will find more information such as below. Also please notice that the Brownshirt enforcement arm of the republican party the Proud Boys showed up to make a show of threating the board to intimidate the board to vote for the dictates of the right wing. Is this what US democracy has become, that might makes right, that threats and intimidation will win any contest. I worry about the up coming election due to this stuff. It is worth noting that all across the country the right is using violence to stop legal LGBTQ+ events simply because they don’t like them and they hate LGBTQ+ people. Now in Florida it is illegal to even tell students that gay couples exist and that they cannot bully gay students. In Florida it is illegal to mention court cases dealing with same sex marriage and cases where trans gender students won the right to use the bathrooms they identify with. It is illegal to teach facts in Florida schools. Hugs.
Aside from recognizing October as LGBTQ history month, the proposal was tweaked this year to explore the possibility of providing resources for teachers in 12th-grade social studies to teach about “important landmark civil rights” cases. That includes the Supreme Court’s 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling which recognized same-sex marriage and Bostock v. Clayton County, a 2020 high court decision that protects gay or transgender employees from discrimination.
Some speakers at the meeting urged the board to pass the designation, contending that it would benefit marginalized LGBTQ students who face a higher risk of depression and suicide. They said that “LGBTQ history is American history” and it would help students be better allies to their peers.
That law, FL HB1557 (22R), prohibits teachers from leading classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation for students in kindergarten through third grade. It bans such lessons for older students unless they are “age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate.”
Backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the law is facing several lawsuits and is making an impact on how school districts approach local policies this year. Miami Dade, for example, wavered over proposed sexual education textbooks in July, rejecting the books before later reconsidering the vote and approving their use. Other school districts have reviewed LGBTQ student support guides in response to the law. These guides are used to help support LGBTQ students and offer guidance to teachers on how to handle such issues.
While some board members agreed with facets of the proposal, the overwhelming majority opposed the resolution this time around, warning that it could run afoul of the new parental rights law.
The Miami Dade School Board on Wednesday night struck down a proposal that would have recognized October as “LGBTQ history month” out of concern that it would violate the state’s Parental Rights in Education law, known by opponents as “Don’t Say Gay.”
Miami school board members passed a similar resolution acknowledging LGBTQ history month in 2021 by a 7-1 vote but found themselves in a different situation this fall under the Parental Rights in Education law.
Although the board’s own attorney said the recognition was on a solid legal footing, board members voted 1-8 against the idea after dozens of parents and community members raised their opposition at a marathon meeting. “I do believe this is in direct violation of our parental rights bill,” said board member Christi Fraga, who voted against the measure.

🚨 Outside the Miami-Dade school board right now — a group of 10+ Miami Proud Boys and allies are huddled around intimidating community members from supporting a resolution to declare LGBTQ History Month for October.
Fortunately public comments overwhelmingly support LGBTQ History Month: 24 in favor, 12 opposed. 🥳🌈

This is exactly what DeathSantis wanted in his first step law. The eventual goal of the far-right fascists is an anti-gay “Gay Propaganda” law like in Russia which if in effed here would shut down everything we’ve ever achieved.
He also is glad to see the goon squad come out to intimidate the board. He forgets that thugs remain thugs, and can also bully the folks who think they can manage them. This is why we discourage people from letting their leopards sleep on the bed, in case they happen to wake up without a face…
I similarly ask people when they choose their religions and if they actually tried out other ones to see what fit or if they just always went with what they were socialized into.
I’m struck again by how the “Proud Boys” are pretty much straight up thugs – and how they don’t seem to understand that ‘their’ group was stood up by the anti-minority DeVos family. I guess those leopards won’t eat their faces?
At the rate things are going backwards in Florida, I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Miami School Board voting to recognize October as Anita Bryant month. : (
If Florida teachers can say gay, then students might learn that American might not have existed without a gay man.
Baron Friedrich von Steuben, a Prussian military man hired by George Washington to whip the Continental Army into shape during the darkest days of the Revolutionary War, is known for his bravery and the discipline and grit he brought to the American troops.
I don’t get it. A lot of these “proud” “boys” are POC. It’s kinda like Jews joining the KKK. They might allow you to join but you’re just a ruse. They use you so they can say, “We’re not white nationalists. Look how many ‘spics’ we have in our group.”
