To greenlight this wave of hate, Trump judges are ignoring more enlightened contemporary precedent, relying instead on old, repudiated decisions that upheld bigotry & oppression. By invoking these zombie precedents, Trump’s judges: attempting to roll back decades of const. progress to create space for: R Party’s ongoing pursuit of nativist & anti-LGBTQ st-level leg. Only the SC can send these discredited pseudo-precedents back to their tomb -unclear -will do so. #GOPHate https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/08/trump-judges-supreme-court-anti-trans-bill.html

SM platforms: hosting antisemitic & hateful content +promoting it & making it easier to find. FB/IG/X steer users to tropes & conspiracies. Result: fomenting dangerous ideas as antisemitic incidents. Researchers created 6 online accounts for fictional ppl, 3 of 4 of the SM platforms began pushing hateful suggestions -the more the accounts liked -more antisemitic content -shown. Nazi propaganda, Holocaust denial & white supremacist symbols: shown to teenage accts. #GOPHate https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/08/17/antisemitism-on-social-media-rising/70605213007/

Pence Joins Trend Of Using LGBTQ Fear-Mongering In Campaign For Ohio’s Anti-Democracy Initiative https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/pence-ohio-ballot-initiative-trans

When Dr. King famously said he dreams of a day when black people are judged by "content of their character" rather than the color of their skin, he WASN'T talking about "passing a law *forcing* racists to not be racist against their will."

So when #Republicans misquote #MLK to sound like THEY are the ones "ending racism", they are TOTALLY missing the point (doing the opposite and in fact making the problem WORSE".) #AffirmativeAction #Racism #GOPHate @ThomHartmann

Sen. Roger Marshall has introduced a bill officially named the “One Flag for All Act,” but it might as well be named the “No Pride Flags Here, No Sir Act,” because that’s what it is. Based on photographs of a Pride flag hanging at the White House flanked by U.S. flags, Marshall’s bill “prohibits any flag other than the American flag to be flown, draped or displayed on federal buildings, with certain exceptions.” #RogerMarshall #GOP #Kansas #GOPHate

Kudos to @froomkin for the best description of today’s GOP:
“A toxic stew of Christian nationalism, white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, & especially transphobia”
& every declared candidate IS running on this platform of #GOPHate
Lies + Fears = Hate

“Well, it turns out she doesn’t govern Colorado’s Third Congressional District and people are still free to do what they want. And what people in her district wanted to do was host a drag queen story hour.

@martlund How will #idaho authorities know minors are leaving the state at all? Are they going to have checkpoints on every road & highway bordering #idaho ? Stop travelers at each airport, landing strip, interrogate every private plane owner? No, it’s impossible. #gop will likely depend on anonymous tips & persecute families who have a jealous neighbor. The world is going crazy.

“On Friday, Donald Trump-appointed #Judge Thomas Parker sided with Friends of George’s, a Memphis-based #LGBTQ+ theater group, issuing a temporary restraining order against the law, which would criminalize “adult cabaret entertainment” in locations where it “could be viewed by a person who is not an adult.” The #law, signed by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) earlier this month, is the first in the nation aimed at restricting #drag performances by specifically including language that #bans “male or female #impersonators who provide #entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest.” #GOPHate

“A #Nebraska state #senator is causing waves in the state legislature after a scathing #speech where she told her #Republican colleagues that she is done being polite with them since they’re attacking her family. Namely, her 12-year-old son, who is #transgender.

“My son is trans,” said state Sen. Megan Hunt (D), vowing to #filibuster every bill the legislature takes up until a trans medical ban proposed by a Republican is withdrawn. “And this bill, colleagues, is such an affront to me personally and would violate my rights to parent my child in Nebraska.” #TransRights #LGBTQ #GOPHate #Fascists #CivilRights

It seems some members of the #GOP have cojones and a backbone. More need to stand up.

“After censure, Rep. Tony Gonzales tells #TexasGOP to f**k off. The party's state executive committee voted to censure Gonzales on Saturday for "lack of fidelity to #Republican principles and priorities."

Members took issue with his votes to protect same-sex marriage and bolster existing gun laws, as well as his opposition to a border security bill that Gonzales characterized as "anti-immigration." #GOPHate #Equality #CivilRights #GunControl #Uvalde #LGBTQ #MarriageEquality #Texas
