The right doesn't see a contradiction in saying that they're protecting women from immigrants and trans people whilst also campaigning against their rights. Because they see those rights as undermining women's protected place - in the home, in servitude to their protective husbands.

America’s Terrifying Turnaround on Transgender Rights
After years of progress for transgender people, the United States has reversed course through political demonization and the passage of laws that mandate discrimination.

"Under the Trump administration, groups were now eligible to apply only if they swore to abide by executive orders erasing mentions of transgender people and racial diversity. Applicants were given extra consideration if they agreed to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement."
This domestic violence shelter was told it no longer aligns with the Trump administration’s priorities
Trump’s war on ‘gender ideology’ and diversity is hurting San Francisco Asian Women’s Shelter's ability to help victims — many of whom can’t get help anywhere else. It’s already cost them nearly $500,...

See, the problem is that cyclosporiasis and the measles were not included in the list of Trump's enemies when it was decided that punishing those enemies was the only legitimate purpose of the government. Therefore we have no way to get either under control.
Fascism is a disease that spreads from country to country. Every fascist country creates refugees, people who aren't welcome in these homogeneous ethnostates. Those people have to go somewhere and wherever they go responds to the influx by going fascist itself. The future is hopelessly fascist.
My daughter came out as trans in high school. She never used the school bathroom. She’s almost 30 now and is too afraid to use public restrooms. In some states, using the women’s room risks arrest, but using the men’s room risks assault. She has bile acid issues, so she avoids going out. It’s sad.
A father in Idaho, speaking to police after his child died by suicide: “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids. The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.” Please read this important story by @joyurcaba.bsky.social
Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.
The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

This is why they want to get rid of the International Criminal Court. They don't want to be held accountable for crimes against humanity.
ICE-Gestapo has murdered yet another person, this time in Maine, 26 year old father from Colombia Joan Sebastian Guerrero. He was authorized to work in the US and he was issued a social security number. ICE aren’t agents, they are terrorist killers.
My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.
Taking this as confirmation McConnell is dead or incapacitated and they’re down 2 senators.
If you didn't object when Donald Trump gloated about Robert Mueller's death your scolding over responses to Lindsey Graham's death isn't about respect for the dead, it's about censorship of the living.
That awkward moment when you're at Ulta with your mildly transphobic partner and you have opinions and knowledge about their products but have to pretend you don't because you're a dude. Shrug.
If your state tries to provide the "wrong" result in November, the warmongering, child-raping, senile fascist dictator's thugs will act. The drooling, diaper-filling imbecile murdered American Democracy. Trumpistan is a shithole. No one is fighting back.
The Elections Clause (Art I, Sec 4, Clause 1) is the #1 constitutional provision that grants states the authority to regulate Federal elections for the House & Senate. The courts rightfully ruled that #Trump and #MAGA cannot control Federal elections but guess what? www.notus.org/2026-electio...
We said all along that none of this was for ‘safety reasons’. It is about humiliating and isolating trans people and attempting to remove them from society. Republican pressure drives trans teen from dance competition | Advocate.com www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

They wouldn't let the trans lady in the funny steam punk robot band travel to Canada because of her passport
And another that molested a 10 year old boy. While blaming "libs" for "sexualizing" children. Crazy how they hate pedos and gays but there sure seem to be a lot of gay pedos on the maga side.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), a wing of the Department of Justice (DOJ), considers banning transgender people from buying and owning guns Shall not be infringed. If they want to use that logic, everyone gets to theneedlenews.com/2026/07/trum...
Trump's ATF Floating Rule To Ban Trans People from Buying Guns
The rule isn’t set in stone yet. It could still be dropped by the ATF, and the public comment period is a critical way to create pressure to stop it.

It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway
The Death of Renee Good Has Yet to Be Properly Investigated
Six months after she and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?
