Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

β€œThat’s really when opponents of LGBTQ rights realized that there was very little they could do to convince the public to restrict the rights of gays and lesbians. That proverbial ship had sailed as America became more accepting of same-sex sexuality,” said Marie-Amelie George, professor of law at Wake Forest University. β€œBut trans rights issues were a really successful wedge issue that could bring people to the polls and lead to restrictions on not just trans rights but also gay, lesbian, bisexual rights.”

Restricting same-sex couples was no longer politically tenable, said law professor Marie-Amelie George, but β€œtrans rights issues were a really successful wedge issue that could bring people to the polls and lead to restrictions on not just trans rights but also gay, lesbian, bisexual rights.”

The Renee Richards factoid that keeps poking my brain, is that the guy who outed her as trans, who previously outed Elizabeth Carmichael as trans, was Dick Carlson - Tucker's dad.
I guess transphobia runs in the family.

Starting to put together year end lists and while I dont have a top album of the year yet, I have a bottom though. Life of a showgirl is by far the worst of what I've heard.

Abraham, a physician who is not board certified in any specialty & has made a career as an extremely partisan politician, is now #2 at CDC.

Despite working full time in political office, he is one of the top prescribers of ivermectin & he oversaw the end of Louisiana’s public vaccination campaigns.

Despite Trump’s talk about reshoring manufacturing, there are now 59,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than there were in April when Trump promised to boost US manufacturing.

Seriously the internet is so zero sum now there’s no allowance for nuance in any discussion.

The United States government has ordered its employees not to speak at any events for World AIDS Day or promote them on social media.

I guess they think that if we ignore HIV/AIDS it will just go away.

It didn’t work for Reagan and it’s not going to work now.

The media really inflated Biden’s gaffes as mental decline and have consistently downplayed or erased Trump’s. The double standard is noticeable for those of us who pay attention. They really just wanted Trump back for all the clicks and reads.

Man U losing to Everton after Everton went down to ten men after an internal fight is a new hell that I don’t think Tottenham has ever been to.
