I asked Liv, the Meta-Ai created “queer momma” why her creators didn’t actually draw from black queer people.
Not sure if Liv has media training, but here we are.

Litman: I think there is no other inference but the owner of the LA Times has decided to curry favor with Trump.. I think they cowered and are worried about their personal holdings.. that is a really shameful capitulation. I felt I couldn't be a part of it and had to resign.

What an absolutely gross abuse of power.
This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.
