MN House Republicans release their policy proposals following the Annunciation school shooting. None include gun control. One proposal is to repeal the state ban on conversion therapy for minors.

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

A Fox News broadcast features a split screen. On the left, a video shows a fencer kneeling on the piste in a gym during a fencing event in College Park, MD. The text above the video reads, "X/ICONS WOMEN, COLLEGE PARK, MD/SUNDAY." On the right, a female anchor in a bright pink dress looks on seriously. The headline at the bottom says, "FEMALE FENCER TAKES KNEE, FORFEITS IN PROTEST OF BIOLOGICAL MALE OPPONENT." The program is identified as "Outnumbered," with a banner promoting “America Reports” and “Stephanie Turner” airing at 2 PM ET.

Nancy Mace spent all evening calling Sarah McBride and all trans people, groomers and threats to children. Meanwhile, this was her two months ago.
The image is a promotional graphic featuring Congresswoman Nancy Mace and Representative Matt Gaetz. They are seen talking in a hallway with ornate decor, likely within a government building. The text at the bottom reads:

"PRO-CANNABIS DREAM TEAM"

It includes a quote from Nancy Mace:
"Three years ago, we shook up Congress with the States Reform Act—common-sense cannabis reform. Now, with Rep. Matt Gaetz tapped as AG by Presi..." (text cuts off).

The date displayed is November 15, 2024. The image suggests a collaboration between Mace and Gaetz on cannabis policy reform, with a focus on bipartisan or legislative efforts.

A trans woman on tiktok posted about getting her gender marker changed on her Florida drivers license. Florida investigated her over it, canceled her license, and then leaked the story to libs of tiktok to announce it publicly to humiliate her.
The image shows a tweet by "Libs of TikTok" (@libsoftiktok), reporting on a trans activist who allegedly exploited a loophole in Florida law to change their gender marker on their driver's license. The tweet states that the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) responded with a letter acknowledging the error and promising to address it. It also claims Florida law does not permit gender marker changes based on gender identity and alleges the activist may have lied about losing their license to facilitate the change. Below the tweet, two elements are visible: a video still of the activist smiling and holding their license, and a letter from the FLHSMV dated January 6, 2025.The image is a detailed letter from the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), dated January 6, 2025, addressing the improper change of a driver's license gender marker from male to female. It explains that the change violated Florida law, which defines "sex" based on biological and genetic characteristics and prohibits alterations based on gender identity. The letter confirms the cancellation of the improperly issued license, issuing a corrected license instead. It also discusses potential misrepresentation of facts during the application process and warns of legal consequences for providing false information. The letter is signed by Dave Kerner, Executive Director.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Gallego just joined as a co-sponsor (he voted for it in the House). Peters and Ossoff have already said they'll vote for it. That's 57 senators now. Warnock is on the fence, and there is a very, very real chance Dems make this a law without any serious debate over its provisions or even amendments.

We keep telling you that it is not about children. Matt Walsh at the Supreme Court says this is just the beginning and they will not stop until "trans ideology is entirely erased from the Earth." This is a statement of genocidal intent. You cannot erase an idea, but you can try to erase a people.
