Trashy MAGA lunatic billionaire Linda McMahon continues to destroy US Education by wiping out the office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

Cruelty, intolerance and hate have always been the point. I hate these repugnant fascists.

Jamal Khashoggi would be 67 years old today had Jared Kushner not provided MBS with the intel needed to facilitate his murder. MBS later rewarded Kushner with a $2 billion dollar slush fund.

There was a time when Trump supported trans people using "whatever bathroom" they wanted. And he backed the Equality Act.

My latest @19thnews.org

19thnews.org/2025/10/trum...

Was Trump always against LGBTQ+ rights? Everything in his past says no.

The president’s previous support is at odds with his anti-trans hostility now. What’s behind the shift?

It has historically involved physical, psychological and sexual abuse against minors — electric shock, masturbation reconditioning, starvation, chemically induced nausea and hypnosis.

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will consider allowing it in Colorado and other states.

The UN calls conversion therapy 'torture.' Could the Supreme Court greenlight it anyway?

In the first of three blockbuster LGBTQ+ cases on its docket this term, the Supreme Court is about to hear a challenge to Colorado’s conversion therapy ban.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

The image shows a paragraph from the story. It reads: Although Virginia police and sheriffs’ departments stated they would not use their systems for immigration enforcement, their systems’ connection to a national network allowed thousands of outside law enforcement agencies to surveil Virginians’ traffic routines and access license plate and vehicle data.
