Jeremy Carl is simply unfit to serve in ANY role in the U.S. government, but especially one where he is expected to represent the U.S. on a global stage... a diverse global stage.

This is a wild video. Amazing to see just how normalized this rhetoric has become at the highest levels of power.

UPDATE - Trump nominee Jeremy Carl finally gets a hearing next week in Senate Foreign Relations Committee… another White Nationalist, anti-Semitic, transphobic, xenophobic, misogynist — who has deleted thousands of tweets. @SenatorHagerty is on the committee. Will he back him?

Key points you should know: This isn’t about science: it’s about discrimination. Modern HIV treatment means people with well-managed infection and undetectable viral loads pose no transmission risk, and can fully perform military duties.

This #HumanRightsDay, we are proud to endorse @markey.senate.gov's #InternationalHumanRightsDefenseAct. This bill, unequivocally, recognizes that the rights of LGBTQI+ people around the world are human rights and mandates human rights reporting on criminalization and violence. 🧵⬇️

I really do feel sorry for Nancy Mace. I think she has a serious problem/obsession with transgender people. Bless her heart. Queer folks live rent-free in her head. If her bigoted rhetoric weren’t so dangerous and offensive, it would be absolutely hilarious. #NDAA

BREAKING: Federal judge denies DOJ's request to allow the State Department to enforce Sec. Rubio's anti-trans/anti-nonbinary passport policy. Judge Kobick previously granted classwide relief blocking the policy. After Skrmetti, DOJ argued that should change the outcome. Kobick said no.
The government has not carried that burden here. This Court previously concluded that
members of the PI Class were likely to succeed on the merits of four claims, only two
of which the government now challenges based on subsequent changes in law and
fact. Whether or not Skrmetti alters the Court's conclusion that the Executive Order
and Passport Policy must be reviewed under intermediate scrutiny—an issue on which
the Court expresses no opinion—the government has not argued that Skrmetti or any
other change in law disturbs the Court's independent conclusion that PI Class
members are likely to succeed on their claim that the Executive Order and Passport
Policy are based on unconstitutional animus toward transgender Americans. See ECF
127, at 5-10. And although the government contends that it has cured its failure to
comply with the procedures required by the PRA, it has not identified any change in
law or fact that alters the Court's conclusion that PI Class members are likely to
succeed on their independent claim that the Passport Policy is arbitrary and
capricious, in violation of the APA. See id. at 11-12.
Thus, even if the Court were to agree with the government as to the two challenged
claims, its prior conclusions as to the likelihood of success on the other two claims—
namely, the animus-based equal protection claim and the arbitrary-and-capricious
claim under the APA—would remain unchanged.

To add insult to injury for queer youth and their families today… SAMHSA announced that the 988's LGBQTI+ service will be shut down. Since 2022, it’s provided specialized crisis care to LGBTQI+ youth and young adults, who experience higher rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts compared to peers.

Wow huge news out of SCOTUS. The court rules 6-3 in US v. #Skrmetti to uphold the Tennessee law restricting gender affirming care for minors, arguing the law does not violate the Equal Protection Clause

To be deadly clear, the work the OMB director highlighted in the rescissions is lifesaving… lesbian women face corrective rape in some parts of the Caribbean. LGBTQI+ folks in former Soviet Union are on front lines of defending democracy. In Uganda, you can literally be put to death for being gay…

The face of “African Family Values”. While they demonize LGBTQI+ Africans and abortion rights defenders as being western imports, this is who is being platformed in Nairobi next week.
A very busy green and white poster for the “Pan-African Conference on Family Values” in Nairobi Kenya from May 12th-17th at the BOMA Hotel. 
There is a line of organizational logos across the bottom including C-Fam, Political Network for Values, and Citizen Go. 
The center of the poster is 8 photos of speakers, which their names and titles. All 8 are white people from the United States or Europe, and 7 of them are white men. 
They suck too much for me to detail each of them, but they include Austin Ruse from C-Fam, and Bettina Roska from Alliance Defending Freedom International’s UN Office, who is mischaracterized as being a Legal Officer for the UN.

Judge Benjamin Settle, a George W. Bush appointee to the federal bench born in 1947, had this to say to the Trump administration tonight about its defense of its anti-trans military ban: www.lawdork.com/i/159798593/...
The government's arguments are not persuasive, and it is not an especially close
question on this record. The government's unrelenting reliance on deference to military judgment is unjustified in the absence of any evidence supporting "the military's" new judgment reflected in the Military Ban—in its equally considered and unquestionable
judgment, that very same military had only the week before permitted active-duty
plaintiffs (and some thousands of others) to serve openly. Any evidence that such service over the past four years harmed any of the military's inarguably critical aims would be front and center. But there is none.

As we head into International Women's Day & CSW69 and we celebrate LBQ women's progress since Beijing 95, we must fight hard against the extreme right governments (the U.S. included) & the trans-exclusionary "feminists" pushing gender apartheid under the guise of protecting women & girls.
