Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

People NEED to understand the evil of Prosperity Gospel and how it underpins the right-wing "Christianity"

They believe that God will reward you in this life (not just Heaven) with riches and good health for being Holy. And the inverse is also true - if you're sick or poor, that's God's punishment.
I don't think we talk enough about the fact that what underpins their belief is a corruption of the bible - prosperity gospel. They think because they are rich , they are blessed by god.

also for people who are going to say, I'm saying they aren't really christian - I'm not. /1
Like the Koch brothers and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes.

Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

What many of you may not know about the University of California graduate student strike is that our bargaining team voted 10-9 against even asking the university bargaining team to have an easier process to work from home. These were our PEERS, not some boss, but they didn't care.
I find myself increasingly wondering how able bodied people appear to believe that being disabled is"easy."

I contacted a university disability/accommodations office for my dyslexic husband to see if he could get any of these fabled student supports.

"IS HE PERMANENTLY AND IRREPARABLY UNABLE TO FUNCTION?" they inquired.

Upon learning he in fact functions sometimes, they said no to supports.

I see those of you trying to put the elite cabal onto only Republicans.
The NYT is not conservative and the Clintons are not Republicans.
The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.

The Biden administration had evidence showing Israeli officials used Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, but officials only raised minimal “concerns” as the military operation continued through the final weeks.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.
