Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

This is a second lavender scare. They're going to purge all LGBTQ employees from the federal government.
In the USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials.
“People came to us because they needed community, needed connection. We were trying to keep each other safe. Now, we’re all just this big target.”

LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge
"They’re not asking people ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

My new life mantra when being engaged with in unhealthy ways:
"I don't put up with people talking to/treating me like that.
