Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition

poli ling is always in the news these days:
19 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- With Reps allowing tens of millions to lose their Obamacare subsidies &/or medical insurance, Reps are moving heaven and earth to change the national health conversation to a handful of trans kids getting safe recommended medical care. Won't wash.
Republicans are trying to change the subject on health care affordability — to transgender care
In a spate of votes and announcements, the GOP is tacking hard to an issue where the party sees an advantage.

Nick Taurus, Ryan Sanchez, David Serpa, and their newbie are the face of a rebranded SoCal “new conservative” movement just in time for 2026. What we’re really witnessing, though, is a steady slide into a neo-Nazi-adjacent strain of fascism, and it’s… illuminating, if not alarming, to watch unfold.
