Cloudy With A Chance Of Hate And Death

February 17, 2025

To paraphrase the Rolling Stones from Mother’s Little Helper,

What a drag it is getting fucked over by homophobic, hypocritical, rat-fucking, fascist Ratpublicans who rush to ban drag shows but fight to keep mass shootings today, mass shootings tomorrow, mass shootings forever.

Heather Cox Richardson from Letters from an American:

Protesters today [February 14, 2025] packed Christopher Park in New York City’s Greenwich Village near the Stonewall National Monument after the Trump administration erased “TQ+” from the LGBTQ+ on the monument’s website. The Stonewall Uprising of 1969, six days of conflict between police and LGBTQ+ protesters after police raided the Stonewall Inn, brought the longstanding efforts of LGBTQ+ activists for civil rights to popular attention, making Stonewall a symbol of LGBTQ+ rights.

Trans activists Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera were key figures in the Stonewall Uprising. Acknowledging their contribution, one protester held a sign that read, “NATIONAL PARK SERVICE: YOU CAN’T SPELL HISTORY WITHOUT A ‘T’”

Former Republican operative Stuart Stevens had a different take. He posted: “When I see the sexual orientation hate come out of the Republican party under the pretext of just being anti-Trans, I am very tempted to name the Republican operatives and elected officials who are closeted gays. It’s not a short list.” (bold/italics  mine)

Please Mr. Stevens, what the hell are you waiting for. Set these poor bastards free. It’s the least you can do.
