Even under a Biden/Harris administration, Christofascist and white nationalist movements in #Texas and other red states have already been inflicting state terror on #trans and nonbinary youth. https://www.texasobserver.org/survival-advice-trans-teens-texas/

How #Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From #Congress
—
Rather than relying on his party’s control of Congress to trim the #budget, Trump and his advisers intend to test an obscure legal theory holding that presidents have sweeping power to defund programs they dislike.

In the U.S., "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed Tuesday a bomb threat was made against a polling place, but he said it was of Russian origin and not credible."
“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

From a friend working the polls in Chicago:
"I’ve been the Election Coordinator in a north side precinct for a decade. Almost 20 elections. I have never seen an Election Day turnout anywhere *close* to this. We had a line of 30 people when we opened the polls at 6:00am. That is unprecedented. We’ve had a continuous 2-hour line since then. Also unprecedented.
THIS IS NUTS!! IN THE BEST WAY!!”
Out today from me, at @TexasObserver: The creators of "Young Greg Abbott: A FuQusical" hope to take their show on the road, inspiring anger, laughter, and political change while undermining the governor's career through satire. "We want to be in his ear, as this very annoying little pesky punk show following him around."

“We’re seeing a rise in anti-LGBTQ crimes in the state because of the culture wars that #Republicans are fighting.”
Experts on #LGBTQIA+ and human rights say an alarming rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation leads directly to a rise in hate incidents, including deadly violence. I used GLAAD data to analyze incidents in Central #Texas over the last few years: https://austinfreepress.org/legislating-intolerance-anti-lgbtq-legislation-tied-to-massive-rise-in-hate-incidents/

Prediction: Kamala wins both the popular vote and the electoral college definitively by Wednesday morning. She gets the majority of the swing states and there will be at least one red state surprise flip. Democrats keep the Senate and add one seat majority. Democrats flip the house and gain 10 seats.

Today is #Trans Day of Remembrance, when we memorialize #transgender lives lost to violence.
In my latest for The Barbed Wire, I visited a memorial to 38 of the trans Texans who have died over the last decade, even as the #LGBTQIA+ community looks forward with fear.

Last weekend, I traveled to #Dallas to cover a mass protest against the Jewish National Fund's annual conference.
The JNF, which lost tax exempt status in Canada, is a key provider of material support to the illegal expansion of Israeli settlements, and frequently uses tree planting to greenwash their actions. Here's my latest for Deceleration: https://deceleration.news/opposing-jewish-national-fund-dallas-protesters-plant-tree-of-life-against-genocidal-greenwashing/

White liberals finally revealed themselves as racist bigots that they are. They must have found it so hard to conceal their true nature while attempting to court minorities, and now that they didn’t get what they wanted, their true feelings burst into the open. The irony is particularly striking given that tolerance and acceptance were supposed to be the defining characteristics distinguishing them from MAGA.

Just finished my latest project.
Reading the news about the political situation in the US often feels like looking through a portal into the Upside-Down; a twisted version of reality that feels unreal, yet is regardless very real. On my mind recently: the disturbing number of anti-#trans bills currently circulating through the various legislatures- so many that it's hard to keep track.
So I spent *way* too long making a song that sums each of them up.

Ciao a tutti e grazie per essere qui a sostenere un social diverso, a dedicarmi un poco del vostro tempo per leggermi.
Vorrei creare un video per ľassociazione Figli Delle Stelle ODV del quale sono volontario.
Nel video parlerò delľuso esagerato della #PLASTICA nel packaging dei prodotti o nei prodotti stessi.
So che molti di voi hanno spesso pensato a queste esagerazioni e per questo vi ringrazierò se mi darete spunti con considerazioni in merito.
Here's my favorite stuff I wrote ... and also that others wrote about me ... in 2024. Featuring stories I wrote for The Advocate, The Barbed Wire, Deceleration, @TexasObserver and more. https://kitoconnell.com/kits-best-of-2024/
(I'll probably make a thread highlighting all these over the weekend)

Hey Americans!
I've been working on a project dissecting Project 2025 chapter by chapter. As we head into 2025, the year Trump will actually take control of the US government, reading it gets more important. If you don't want to read all 900+ pages of it, you can check out my project at https://32daysofproject2025.wordpress.com.
