NYC drag marchers chant 'We're coming for your children' during pride event
https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-drag-marchers-chant-were-coming-your-children-during-pride-event

Remember folks, them coming for your children is just a figment of your MAGA fascist far right wing white supremacist imagination

Yup. I knew I'd heard it before.

I think Rush Limbaugh called attention to that chant. Might have been 20 years ago, but I don't remember, exactly.

I was told today that I am a racist who doesn't like Mexicans because I could not arrange an appointment at short notice for our high risk pregnancy group. This would be a new patient who is already being cared for at the local medical school. But she wants to leave them and come to us since the medical school is racist, too.

Well that's dumb. All the racists I know greatly like and respect Mexicans.

Seattle Pride parade booth encourages kids to throw toy bricks at pictures of Republicans

Is it too much to say that I'd love to see a wild pitch that hits the guy running the booth?
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

That is EXACTLY what I would have done as a kid . . . except neither I nor my parents would have been within 10 blocks of this cr@p if we could help it.

That is what I was thinking.  To see that booth, you actually have to be at the event.

One of these days, we need to stop with that response or at least come up with a different way of saying it.  For the most part, people on the right would not encourage people to throw bricks at the left. 


I like calling out double standards

Move over Latinx, now we have Latine

Quote
Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont signed a bill on Monday that confirmed, "on every official communication or form of a state agency relevant to the Latin American community, or communication by a state employee on behalf of a state agency relevant to such community, such communication or form shall use the terms ‘Latino’, ‘Latina’ and ‘Latine’ to refer to such community."

"Latine" has recently emerged as a gender-neutral alternative for non-binary and transgender Hispanic citizens in response to the controversy surrounding the term "Latinx."

Connecticut rejects 'Latinx,' adds 'Latine' to list of acceptable terms for Latinos in official documents

I expect that will go over just as well as 'LatinX' with the Hispanic community.

Hardly anyone other than "extremist" Christians see the spiritual component to the evil sweeping the USA and west.

The Marxist dialectism is literally inverting the meaning, the definition of good and evil.

We're in a spiritual war and only one side is fighting.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

This is getting ridiculous

Quote
The Oregon Department of Human Services has attracted criticism for stating the preferred pronouns, rather than sex, of three missing children. 

The brothers Brantley Hinson, 7, Logan Hinson, 4, and River Hinson, two, went missing on June 17 and authorities said they had reason to believe they were at risk, KTVL reported.

The ODHS' Child Welfare Division appealed for public help to find the missing children who they speculated could be in Oregon, Idaho, or Alaska, and provided descriptions of the children.

In the identifying descriptions the division included 'he/him' pronouns alongside other descriptions such as age and hair color, a move that was dubbed 'unbelievable'.

Since many police depts no longer include the race of the suspect I guess we're going to start seeing things like
"Be on the lookout for a we don't know their proper pronouns yet". Please call if you see them."
