We all know why this isn’t national news. Another sick, senseless bias crime against the LGBTQ community that the rest of the world is conveniently ignoring. Tucson Strong.

Tucson Mayor Regina Romero released a statement on the shooting outside Venture-N Bar early this morning and says it’s being investigated as a hate crime. The suspect reportedly had a list of more LGBTQ+ businesses in the area. The victims are Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and Cameron Davis Capara.

Mayor Regina Romero 22m Early this morning, Tucson experienced a direct and devastating attack on our LGBTQ+ community, another senseless act of gun violence. I stand in solidarity with everyone impacted by this tragedy and send my love and healing prayers to the families of the victims. Tucson Police Department Investigators confirmed that the suspect possessed addresses for multiple LGBTQ+ friendly venues, intending to cause more harm. TPD is treating this entirely as a hate crime.

I will never vote for a Democrat that abandons transgender people. It's a cancer and I'll take the pain of a Republican over losing Democrats as a party and therefore losing our rights for an entire generation with nobody left to fight for us. We cannot reward this at all.

Iowa Democratic Governor Candidate Rob Sand becomes the latest to throw transgender people under the bus. In an interview this weekend, he told Politico that "girls sports are for girls," decrying Democrats for being too caught up in "culture war" issues. Subscribe to support our journalism.

What was that about, "This wont spread through the party, you're over reacting!" ?

They said we needed to protect purveyors of depraved, hateful ideas to ensure true, pro social ideas would be safe. Now, the true, pro social ideas are under attack. And we're still being lectured about the need to protect gutter racists even as their ideology twists and degrades our world.

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

“Universities denounced themselves as complicit in systemic racism.” Well yes, my university for example held the charred bones of Black children killed by Philadelphia police and at least one faculty member was using them to teach forensics so yes, gosh, there was some necessary self-denouncing

finally reading the Atlantic piece on “Woke 1” and it’s interesting how even in their attempt to list the movement’s sins they struggle to identify anything significant

The established institutions of the meritocratic elite were swept over by the movement's force: Members of Congress were photographed taking a knee while wearing African-inspired kente cloth. Companies rolled out diversity, equity, and inclusion action plans and donated huge sums to Black Lives Matter and other racial-justice causes. Universities denounced themselves as complicit in systemic racism. Staffers at news outlets revolted against colleagues they deemed counterrevolutionary, and nonprofit leaders and corporate executives treated the books of the anti-racism gurus Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo as revelatory.

it’s really important that Eugene Vindman is primaried out in 2028. there should be no tolerance for this behavior. the district is competitive, but appears to be trending left. gotta go.

Christopher Wiggins@cwnewser.bsky.social · 2mo ago

SCOOP: He was one of a handful of Democrats who joined Republicans in May to pass an anti-trans bill through the House. Last night, instead of listening to trans constituents at a meeting that I attended, Eugene Vindman got angry. It went downhill from there. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

"Though examples of white women championing causes that do not benefit them are rare, history demonstrates that when they do support minority causes, the potential for meaningful change increases significantly.” More from @carronjphillips.bsky.social:

Let's be extremely clear: in doing this, they aren't just mocking trans women. This is just as much about making fun of women's basketball and denying that it's a real sport. www.foxnews.com/outkick-spor...
