Jessica Tarlov, a co-host on Fox ‘News’ channel’s ‘The Five,’ stunned her colleagues when she pushed back on their lies and delivered the truth about the transformative agenda of President Biden and the Democrats. Texas Paul reacts.
Facebook served warrant and forced to turn over chat messages between mother and daughter in Nebraska abortion case. So much for the right to privacy when it comes to pregnant people, am I right? Make no mistake, the “Party of Freedom” only wants freedom for white cisgender christian men with wealth. The modern conservative right is nothing but grotesque, power hungry, cowards who are afraid of everyone and everything that doesn’t believe and look exactly like they do. They make laws to oppress everyone while protecting themselves, which is exactly what Dobbs v Jackson is about – protecting white men in the workforce because these mediocre assholes can’t succeed without a boot on someone’s neck.

After the Justice Department (DoJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued and acted on a search warrant at former Republican President Donald Trump’s Florida home and paid membership resort Mar-a-Lago, much has been written about what the federal law enforcement agency was looking for and what Trump might have done.
But perhaps the DoJ just isn’t using the right approach with Trump. California Kindergarten teacher Arielle Fodor—Mrs.Frazzled on TikTok—may have cracked the code.
Speak to Trump about the FBI raid like he was a 5-year-old.
The video went viral, racking up over 845k views on TikTok alone before jumping to other social media platforms.
When John Bolton says on Newsmax that we are safer under Biden then we would have been under Trump, the host loses his mind and they have an epic battle. I know people hate Bolton, but this is fantastic – he debunks every fake narrative they created about his foreign policy. pic.twitter.com/GdSr6pcfdv
Conservatives get offended when "obscene language" is used, like when Beto O'Rourke dropped an F bomb on a heckler while he discussed the Uvalde shooting.
Let’s be clear about what he is doing. Everything that has our hair standing on end are trial balloons and if he can get away with them uncontested he will do the exact and worse if allowed in WH. He is #45 on steroids
Just replace the word “woke” with “black people/women/immigrants/LGBT people/Jews” and you can hear what DeSantis is actually saying. This guy needs to be defeated in November. pic.twitter.com/tYPDmqPCGE
The villages are a republican maga stronghold. They tend to have more retirement money than most maga thugs, but they are just as rabid, vocal, and feel even more entitled than the lower income magas. DeathSantis holds rallies and events there and made sure that they had the first shot for the Covid vaccines he supported for wealthy republicans but publicly tried to deny for lower incomes. Remember that a black woman in Texas voted with a provisional ballot because she was told she was able to vote but was unsure. Her ballot was not counted. She got sentenced to 5 years in prison even after the court was shown she received a letter telling her she had her right to vote returned. But there is no such thing as white privilege is there.

A third resident of The Villages has admitted to voting twice during the 2020 election, court records show.
Joan Halstead, 73, entered a pretrial intervention program Wednesday that will allow her to avoid potential prison time if she successfully completes court-ordered requirements such as performing community service and attending a civics class.
Halstead acknowledged her guilt as part of her agreement with prosecutors. Two other residents of The Villages accused of voting twice, Charles Barnes and Jay Ketcik, signed similar pretrial intervention contracts earlier this year.

There is a reason that anti-trans people like Tildeb ignore the accepted US mainstream medical best practices that support supportive trans care and instead use misinformation from the UK is the UK has a lot of highly influential vocal maga type trans haters that have managed to force the government to change polices and have attacked trans health issues in court. They use misinformation, right wing media pushed lies, debunked science, and incorrect / incomplete fake studies. This article lays out the full information. I found this paragraph especally informatiove as I have heard these very things put in the comments of my posts. Hugs
The report found many actors “share a zerosum conception of rights” even though many seem to have “very different” or “even radically opposing” political agendas in many respects. This conception included the predominant belief “for one community’s rights to be respected and protected, another community must be excluded from rights protections”.

Right-wing figures are among the “most influential” groups pushing anti-trans agendas in the UK media, according to an eye-opening report.
The report, published by Global Action for Trans Equality (GATE), mapped how the anti-trans movement is mobilising the UK.
GATE said the report, part of the advocacy organisation’s broader mapping project, focused on the UK as one of the “global hotspots” where anti-trans movements have “enjoyed increased efficacy in the past few years”.
The project mapped 368 anti-trans and linked actors in the UK and internationally, including figures in the right-leaning media, UK religious right, US religious and neo-conservative right, trans-exclusionary feminists/LGB actors, and the alt/far-right.
These people were linked to campaigning groups, individuals, publishers, media organisations, commentators, authors, publications, political parties and groups, social media platforms and more.
The report analysed the 1,036 relationships between these figures and how they interacted with each other. Their relationships could be through activities such as employment, campaigning, interviews and panels, or co-authorship and collaborating in legal funds.
The report found anti-trans movements in the UK have become “significantly larger, more visible and more effective” since 2015/2016 to the present day. GATE said the organisation saw a “dramatic increase in anti-trans content and activity in UK media and politics” starting in 2015.

It found there is an “important driving role played by right-wing groups” and that the actors in these groups “interlink with much of the UK media, commentariat, wider political class and traditional conservative groups”. They were also linked with “parts of the left-leaning media and political class”.
GATE saw there had been a “marked rise in anti-gender mobilisations” that coincided with efforts by trans and broader LGBTQ+ campaigners pushing for legal and policy reform. Notably, this included efforts to “prioritise advocacy around legal gender recognition” from 2015.
At the same time, GATE saw there was “rising influence and activities” within the right/media on trans rights and related issues in the UK.
People in these groups constituted a “large coalition of the right/media” that is the “most influential” block in the mapping of how the anti-trans movement has mobilised across the UK.
“This group is closely enmeshed with (and also constituted by) key conservative and centrist media, and a smaller range of left-wing media,” the report said. “[This group] is the most populous group on the map and has the highest density of social relations.”
The report continued: “They are by far the most influential group, even without factoring in their tremendous power to set the media agenda, reach audiences, and influence policy and legal change. Indeed, many of these actors actually are media, government, and wider policy-makers (eg key UK think tanks, NGOs, and foundations linked to policymaking).
“The vast majority of these actors were not producing content about trans issues prior to 2015.”

GATE found all groups in the mapping were “generally, anti-intersectional” and “critical of younger social movements”. The report concluded many actors believe they are “true victims” of an “excessively liberal new status quo”.
“In this and other cases, we can also see that anti-gender mobilisations directly attack target communities – sending marginalised communities into localised, often bruising battles, and away from a focus on broader drivers and conditions for change,” the research found.
It added: “Indeed, oftentimes, anti-gender frames invoke a fearful, austere, and limiting world in which, apparently, rights are in short supply, dangerous characters and coercive industries lurk in the shadows, and ‘our’ most basic freedoms are under attack on all sides.”
GATE concluded few people benefit from “this way of understanding politics, society, culture and economics”. As such, the organisation said it “amounts to a race to the bottom”, which “places a wide range of rights at risk”.
The mapping highlighted an incentive for trans and allied groups to look beyond the current “limiting line of sight” and the “negative focus and effects of backlash” to potential new alliances.
The report also said a need to develop campaigning approaches which can “de-centre, disrupt” and speak past the “core messages of anti-gender actors” – which rely “strongly on fear based messaging and anger-based mobilisation”.
“This could include alternative agenda (and role) setting and framing approaches, considering a focus on hope-based communications, material needs of trans communities, and the importance of collaboration and solidarity,” GATE said.
Trans and allied groups should address the fearmongering and disinformation through “supporting fact-checking resources, effective rebuttal and improved standards” among reporters.
