The Heritage Foundation is made up of a bunch of fragile, abusive misanthropes who can't compete anywhere unless they are in a position of authority to force a change in law & social norms. They have rapist attitudes about women; consent doesn't matter to them. They are all narcissistic sociopaths.

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

This hasn’t gotten much attention, but it should. While everyone was focused on Schedule F, the administration created something even broader. On July 30, a new OPM rule took effect that creates a second way to fire federal employees outside the normal civil service process.

These alt-right bills and policies discussing sex/gender in sports is NEVER targeted at men's sports, you'll notice. That's because it's a red herring argument - gaslighting & disingenuous. It isn't about "protecting women". It's about destroying trans people and women's sports at the same time.

Not a word about verifying the gender of boys... this is little girl specific. Child sexual abuse on a state level 'Surefire method' for destroying girls' sports seen in bill targeting kindergartners www.rawstory.com/project-2025...

The In-N-Out Burger shooter comes from a family immersed in Trump propaganda. The shooter loved General Flynn, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. He was pro-natalist and wanted to join ICE, but didn't have a college degree.

The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male. Shocked.

Read all the comments attached (click the link below) from Digital Warrior-Combat Disinfo, too. They give expanded information about this problem, to give you a more holistic view of the un-democratic means by which rich conservatives are bypassing our laws to personally benefit themselves.

1/ Six rich Texans gave $100M to a group called Texans for Lawsuit Reform. That 💰 built a brand new court system where judges are not elected, they are appointed by governor, specifically so corporations never have to face a jury of regular Texans again. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
