Some news articles I wanted to get to but did not have time. Now I am caught up to today

So Ron and his sister arrived two days ago.   Lucky for me she is a doer who jumps in to do stuff and doesn’t wait for others to do for her.  She has really helped Ron get a lot of stuff done.  She helps when my back goes out.  She is doing supper right now so I can catch up on the last few days of news.   I really hope she finds a place to her tastes here as she is a good influence for Ron.   Hugs, loves to all, and best wishes to all who wish them.   Scottie

Thanks to Ron’s sister jumping in and doing all the extra stuff I have been trying to do I can rest my back while doing my posting.   I could get used to this.   Hugs

The $1,776 per person bonuses, unveiled by Trump in his nationwide address Wednesday night, will be covered with funding approved in the Big Beautiful Bill that passed in July, according to the congressional officials and later confirmed by the Pentagon. The payouts — which will cost roughly $2.6 billion — will be a “one-time basic allowance for housing supplement to all eligible service members,” said the official.

The second would block all Medicaid and Medicare funding for any services at hospitals that provide pediatric gender-affirming care.

The saga ultimately cost taxpayers $5 million to settle a lawsuit over the flawed prosecution.

Neff is also affiliated with True The Vote, the far-right QAnon group featured in Dinesh D’Souza’s debunked “2000 Mules” film.

As many know I found this artist and her work on trans awareness as a grand resource to show how trans people / kids are being treated in our surging hateful nation.   Below is a personal note from her.  I wish her and her family the very best even as I will miss her voice supporting the trans people.   Hugs

New Beginnings

This year was the most prolific of my life, but also the most anxiety-inducing. I wrote and published a new novel and drew about two hundred pages of comics, as if to numb the things I was feeling. But life has ways to tell us we’re burning out.

I am not known for sharing much about my private life – probably a consequence of a whole decade of harassment and stalking from anti-trans zealots – but allow me to do it today. You might know that at the start of the pandemic, my husband and I decided to move into a century-old cabin in the woods. We have slowly been turning it into an artist retreat for trans and queer people. I really needed the seclusion, the quiet and the natural beauty of the place, especially after many years of being the target of hate campaigns, doxxing and death threats. This place that we call home has been a blessing, but it was always meant to be temporary.

Due to life and health situations, it’s now time for my husband and I to come back to civilisation. I won’t go into details, but I’ll just say that our nearest hospital is a 3h round trip drive, and that living 10h away from my husband’s relatives is becoming impossible. Furthermore, we still believe in our dream of turning that space into a retreat for trans and queer artists, but the renovations left to do are simply incompatible with my husband’s pregnancy.

That is why we are getting prepared to move back to the city. It’s a hard and lifechanging decision for us, but there is no avoiding it. It’s also going to be costly : another reason we moved in our current ruin of a home in the first place was to be able to focus more on making art and less on making rent. If you feel so enclined, you can contribute to our relocation effort by getting a coffee at www.ko-fi.com/sophielabelle or supporting my work at www.patreon.com/assignedmale . It always means the world to us, now more so than ever!

I’ve decided to spend the last few weeks of the year focusing on catching my breath, preparing for the move and trying to get through the 15 000 emails that I’ve let piled in my inbox since my beloved cat, my bestest friend, passed earlier this year, and hopefully finishing the children’s book I’ve been working on for way too long. I still have a few new comics lined up for the Holidays, so don’t expect me to stay quiet!

So that’s what’s up. Thank you for reading, thank you for being there, I love you all, even the ones who rage-read my comics. Keep shining!

Sophie

And now to more recent news. Yes! I finally caught up. Oh wow

This is incredible and the best I have felt in 5 months.  I have had so much old news, many hundreds of back logged news I wanted to share.  I recently found out that the mail stuff I would share was stuck on my phone so did not post.  I cleared that.  Today right now all old news mail articles are posted, the stuff I want to share is posted.   I still have to do the video on what happened because I got long term Covid.  Sadly I was able to do this because Ron was gone to Texas to help his sister and now they are on their way home.  More pressure to do as much as I can with my pain and disability.  So I have two more rooms to work on before they get here later this week.  I want to do a video on the entire thing but may not.   My goal was to clear all these tabs and then do videos …. but we will see, Hugs

The city, home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, has recently become a repeated target for out-of-state activists who falsely claim it operates under “Sharia law.” The tensions began when Jake Lang, a Jan. 6 rioter who has described himself as a political prisoner, arrived on Michigan Avenue attempting to burn a Quran.

 

Border Chief: Everyone Must Carry Citizenship Proof

Federal law enforcement agencies are detaining US citizens who do not carry proof of their citizenship in what civil rights advocates describe as a flagrant violation of constitutional rights—and a top Trump administration official is claiming the government has the authority to do so.   Bovino recently lied in court about being hit with a rock by anti-ICE protesters, despite video showing that never happened. According to reports, some Border officials privately refer to Bovino a “Little Napoleon” due to his height and volatile temper.

Pentagon To Downgrade Military Command Groups

It would reduce in prominence the headquarters of U.S. Central Command, U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command by placing them under the control of a new organization known as U.S. International Command. Those familiar with the plan said it aligns with the Trump administration’s national security strategy, released this month, that declares that the “days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over.”

Their way to rid themselves of officers who will refuse to follow an illegal order and put command in the hands of those who will.  All of this is to reduce the number of Admirals and Generals who could credibly disobey the illegal orders that will be coming soon.

 

 

The Atlantic: New Pentagon Policy Is A “Suicide Note”

This past September, the Trump administration terminated these agreements. The center’s former head, James Rubin, called this decision “a unilateral act of disarmament,” and no wonder: In effect, the United States was declaring that it would no longer oppose Russian influence campaigns, Chinese manipulation of local politics, or Iranian extremist recruitment drives. Nor would the American government use any resources to help anyone else do so either.
