this week in corporate-branded laws
San Antonio's city council didn't want to grant an airport concession to Chick-Fil-A over what one member called its "legacy of anti-LGBT behavior" and the state govt is (seeking the appearance of) intervening on the company's side. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
The TX "Chick-fil-A" law covers a pretty broad range of government activity, creates a private right of action, and waives sovereign and governmental immunity, so it might spawn some interesting cases--many unintended by the legislators, I suspect. capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/86R/bi…

It’s insane, INSANE, how influential two bad memos are on the history unfolding before our eyes.
The whole conceit is that, while there isn’t any constitutional provision or statute that say so, the separation of powers *implies* that the sitting president is *too busy* to be held accountable to federal criminal law.
The memos are pure freshman dorm hallway theorizing, but they’ve somehow become more powerful than the whole edifice of actual constitutional provisions and laws because two OLC bureaucrats signed onto their reasoning.

I turned on cnn and they’re running letterboxed ads next to box with a live shot of an empty desk where I guess they’re doing this drawing.
Maybe they just really like filming empty things.
Now they’re playing three card monty? idgi

Over the last 2 years a rash of crowdfunders have suddenly popped up from a handful of anti-trans “gender critical” individuals.

Some have had single donations over £12k from anonymous sources!

I’ve investigated and can reveal they’ve raised over £280k!!! 😳

Important thread/
The “Gender Critical” crowdfunder phenomenon started with Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull aka “Posie Parker”, for a ‘legal fund’ after she was questioned by police for harassment and transphobic hate speech.

£12,274 was raised

The case never went to trial.
While Posie used some of the £12k to pay off her very expensive lawyer, the remainder has been used to kickstart her anti-trans t-shirt/ poster “business” - making more money to campaign against trans people/ take trips to America/ London with her anti-trans campaigning buddies!

A comparative approach to SWM privilege and for those who've not actually compared resumes...
For fairness, I used same source for all candidates I profiled (VoteSmart)
IMO, one candidate is far above the others (@CoryBooker), but definitely @KamalaHarris makes the cut.

Right after Donald Trump’s election, the SPLC really stoked panic. A pro-gay Episcopal church in Indiana was vandalized w/“Heil Trump,” a swastika, & an anti-gay slur. Turns out it was the gay organ player who did it. He was only charged w/a misdemeanor. indystar.com/story/news/201…
Days after the Pittsburgh massacre, Trump supporters were blamed for Nazi vandalism at a Brooklyn synagogue & fires in a Jewish community. Turns out the perpetrator was a gay black man who had worked with city council on an initiative to fight hate crimes. newyork.cbslocal.com/2018/11/02/bro…
One week before the presidential election, a black church in Mississippi was burned in an arson attack. “Vote Trump” was written on the building. After much panic, an investigation revealed that the man responsible was a church member. Andrew McClinton: washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…

So, the other thread I was talking about at the beginning of the week and, sadly not about Vagrant Story or Farscape.

One of the questions I see pop-up again and again is why do TE*Fs (note the wildcard placement, there's nothing radical about these #Fuckwits) have such...

1/n
hatred for #trans #people?

Well, if we step back a little and change how we look at the patterns of behaviour, and look at those behaviours in a different paradigm, one more associated with personal relationships, TE*F behaviour and attitudes have a depressingly familiar...

2/n
pattern to them.
