the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Modest proposal: If you are a producer who doesn't like awards shows, do not produce one. If you are a host who doesn't like awards shows, do not host one. If you are a television viewer who doesn't like watching awards shows, do not watch one.

![“I wasn’t trying to overshadow any of their speeches,” Bargatze said. “I thought it was gonna be, I don’t know, Netflix donating, or Apple. The shows that won! It’s not like I expected that kid [Owen Cooper] to give money, which I covered for that kid. But I kind of thought that’s what would happen. In my head I pictured it as they could then go long, but then be a hero. So it was like a win-win. And then the night becomes about love and you’re giving to these kids that are there and all this kind of stuff. I don’t know if I just didn’t explain it enough in the room.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s45o2coi53wf55ufwd6r7i7j/bafkreibfdir6tyzqv44asxrydkxdcqjvonz32swfah2bn2jsri3ni4x5q4@jpeg)

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

I called both of my senators, they never answer, but I left messages. Here is what I said if anyone would like to use it:
![A script to call your senator that reads:
Good afternoon Senator ----, this is [Your Name] a constituent here in [Your County]. I saw on the news that Senator Padilla of California was handcuffed when he attempted to ask questions to Kristi Noem at her surprise press conference. While I recognize he interrupted her, it is unacceptable that they forcibly removed Sen Padilla from the room and handcuffed him given that he was only doing his job after months of Homeland Security not answering his questions. Given this egregious abuse of power, I absolutely believe that articles of impeachment should be drawn up to remove Noem from office immediately. It is unacceptable for a senator to be treated the way Sen Padilla was today.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y6a7q6tfmukqn7w7vsn7zvmi/bafkreigu7jotysqct6ggagfi6sbfsarzxbsbrwddqphaoc2edawwurirn4@jpeg)

This. Protect trans kids. Protect trans rights. Gender is a spectrum. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people exist. Inter-sex & DSD people exist. Gender-non-conforming people exist. Transphobia is anti-feminist. Laws are often wrong and unjust. We must fight for a fairer future.
if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.
