this is a great example of "online controversy =/= real life." there are posts and comments online calling to deport him, but while i talked to Mark today, neighbors came by and told him how much they liked it. A FedEx guy drove by and said "I saw you on the news, love it brother!"

In @chron.com - This viral Houston Halloween display got online conservatives crazy angry. I went and spoke to the guy who put it up. A Mexican Houston native, he said he did it to protest Trump's immigration raids: "I believe in my freedom of speech."

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/

Trump threatens to shut down US government unless all trans health care is banned

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

Cause, what, the shit that’s actually going on isn’t traumatic and stressful enough for queer people? We’re all just sitting around going “you know, I could use a higher allostatic load”? Fuck off.

Cannot express how much this shit boils my blood. I‘m seeing tons of well-meaning big name queer accounts get misled in the exact way the article is designed to mislead them and proceed to amplify the alarming disinformation. And it’s nothing. There is no there there.

the administration wants us scared- they want us to ‘self deport’. the queer media apparatus (them, pinknews, transgender substack “journalists”) are all too happy to collaborate on this project

Shameful from Pink News here. The threat in question is a month old social media post that they’re spuriously linking to current negotiations. This sort of cheap and misleading fearmongering from the queer press is doing Trump’s work for him.

the only time people say “oh the humanity” is in reference to the hindenburg, or at least no one every says anything else in response to the hindenburg. no other disaster inspired an “oh the humanity” which is a shame. why the hindenburg. what if we looked at 9/11 and dropped an “oh the humanity”
