#DanBishop won the #NC09 election. Trump is taking credit for that--as well he should. Trump and Bishop share the same ugly homophobic and transphobic POV and it was support for Bishop's grotesque #HB2 that helped him win. charlotteobserver.com/opinion/editor…
We can claim that #DanBishop won because that #NC09 has always been a GOP seat, but really, this is about GOP support for discriminatory anti-LGBTQ, anti-queer and anti-trans bills. Folks like Bishop propose and promote them, as I wrote two years ago.

At some point we have to acknowledge that while racism and misogyny are a GOP backdrop, they raise money and thrive on their homophobic and transphobic attacks and those assaults on queer and trans people are behind their "religious freedom" bills.

My latest investigative piece for @damemagazine took weeks of research, talking to victim/survivors, advocates, therapists, law enforcement and more.
I hope you will read and share this critically important story.

 Why Have We Always Failed Rape Victims?
damemagazine.com/2019/09/09/why…
In an era of #MeToo rape is still the least prosecuted crime, with only 5 out of every 1,,000 rapes prosecuted, according to Dept. of Justice statistics.

 Why Have We Always Failed Rape Victims?
damemagazine.com/2019/09/09/why…
There were more than a half million women raped last year in the US. There are currently 23 million women rape victims in the US, according to a series of DOJ & FBI reports here. Where are the prosecutions?

When @KamalaHarris reviewed the tape, she was upset by what she heard. She apologized.
Trump has targeted #disabled people for the entirety of his presidency--and before.

In one tweet, Harris showed more leadership than Trump ever has cnn.com/2019/09/08/opi…
When Trump mimicked #disabled reporter Serge Kovaleski, he not only didn't apologize, he doubled down.
It's essential that EVERY candidate call out members of her or his audience who uses this language. And do NOT use it or other words like it on here. They will--and should--get you locked or suspended. We have other words to describe Trump that don't harm disabled & I/DD people.

I was locked out of my account by Twitter for a day for describing the difference between #FGM and male circumcision. I chose to remove the tweets as well as appeal, but honestly, this is men mass reporting women for telling the stories of our lives.

 theguardian.com/society/2016/f…
#FGM is a brutal crime against girls and women that can kill them or leave them harmed for life. I covered this story up close when I lived in London and I have been privileged to meet many survivor activists. I am appalled that Twitter doesn't recognize their error here.

The World Health Organization/@WHO calls #FGM "a violation of the human rights of girls and women."

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

.Every day in twitterverse I watch straight young white people who identify as "progressive" demean and diminish the lives of the marginalized & insist that WE need to recognize that "economic security" is the #1 issue all liberals need to focus on which will then solve all. (1)
.I watch them speak from their lofty privilege not realizing that they are standing on a platform built by the very people they demean. Their lack of gratitude for the work of these before them blows my mind. Their robotic devotion to an establishment man with minimal (2)
.accomplishments in his career is staggering. What saves me from despair is the ongoing work of POC and LGBTQ activists and allies who continue to engage the #racist & #homophobic #misogynist #transphobic "sleeping" people. Huge credit to all of you doing this work (3)

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
