The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Orgs like the American College of Pediatrics (a pseudoscientific hate group) are using the Charlie Kirk assassination to further anti-trans hate re: “gender ideology.”

Kirk + ACP is arguably responsible for untold levels of violence against marginalized communities via stochastic terrorism.

3. Weiss stepped down as a conservative opinion editor/columnist for The New York Times and launched The Free Press in 2021. In trans advocacy circles, Weiss might be best known for birthing the anti-trans activist career of Jamie Reed in 2023.

1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people.

It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people.

Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people.

1/ Scott Leiendecker is a friend of the tangerine tyrant. He bought Dominion voting machines--it's now Liberty Vote. This affects 50 to 60% of votes.

Aw, poor baby mouse.

Some years ago, one of my cats brought 4 baby rats into my house. They were alive, and I took them outside & put them in the bushes. Hope their mother found them.
