Walmart rolls back DEI & LGBTQ+-inclusive policies
  • No surprise, really; the Waltons are greedy assholes who will refrain from doing the right thing if it affects their bottom line.

    And given their market share, they could easily push back at Trump and make it stick.

  • Transgender lawyer makes history, takes case on puberty blockers and hormone therapy to Supreme Court
  • from 2018:

    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts clashed Wednesday in an extraordinary public dispute over the independence of America’s judiciary, with Roberts bluntly rebuking the president for denouncing a judge who rejected his migrant asylum policy as an "Obama judge."

    "We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them," Roberts said.

    He and Trump were apparently play fighting.

  • Trans health care under Trump may follow the abortion playbook and its Hyde amendment
  • I'm guessing this guy is just outright lying.

    That's probably a job requirement:

    policy director at the American Principles Project, a conservative political advocacy group that has advocated against transgender policy for years.

  • Trans health care under Trump may follow the abortion playbook and its Hyde amendment
  • "We don't believe taxpayer funding should go towards that for minors or for adults. We've poll tested that, and we're pretty confident that the American people agree," Schweppe says.

    And yet they look the other way when taxpayer funds are used for frivolous political stunts like migrant flights, or to defend laws that are so off-the-rails that they're sure to attract lawsuits, etc...

    Today's so-called "conservatives" are not the responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars that they claim to be; it's all smoke and mirrors with these people.

  • What Made "Raw Deal" by Judas Priest Singer Rob Halford's Coming-Out Moment

    Setting The Scene

    For younger listeners who had no understanding of gay culture, it might have seemed like the character in the song walked into a bar with some macho types and was trying to sort out the vibe of the room. It could even have felt like a scene from a western due to the line I cased the joint / straining at the seams. But in reality, Halford's lyrics were about a man walking into a gay bar on New York's Fire Island, a popular LGBTQ haven off the south shore of Long Island, and checking out the action. "Straining at the seams" took on a different connotation especially when he seemingly hooked up with someone in the bar.

    Trump resistance rises in states led by Democratic governors (The Hill, via archive.today)

    > "When you elect a president of one party, often, states of the party that oppose that president have enormous ability to try to block or push back on directions that the president might want to go, especially if Congress can't function or pass legislation," said Barry Rabe, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan's Ford School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

    Governor Newsom convenes a special session of the Legislature to protect California values

    > The special session responds to the public statements and proposals put forward by President-elect Trump and his advisors, and actions taken during his first term in office — an agenda that could erode essential freedoms and individual rights, including women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights. A special session allows for expedited action that will best protect California and its values from attacks. The special session will begin December 2, when the Legislature convenes.
