An animal rights activist accidentally recorded a cop degrading a trans woman after her bodycam was confiscated during a protest. Three years later, she has shared the recording online. In 2023, Gemma Barnes was protesting outside the police station in the U.K. city of Norwich, located in Norfolk County, after police decided not to prosecute a man whom surveillance footage caught seeming to intentionally run over a pigeon with his mobility scooter before returning to beat it to death with his walking stick. Barnes alleged cops pushed her to the ground, arrested her, and took her bodycam, according to The Mirror. […]

BOYCOTT: Taylor Farms, a MAGA Lettuce Supplier Asked WH To Stop Recall

The Wall Street Journal reports: Representatives for produce giant Taylor Farms contacted the White House with an urgent plea: the company wanted to delay announcing a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history. The call, during which the company asked for more proof and more time before being linked to the outbreak, illustrates how one of the country’s largest produce suppliers sought to limit its exposure to a public-relations nightmare, while grappling with a costly and complicated recall.

Trump hijacks White House Correspondents’ Dinner redo with antigay jabs, anti-trans mockery & lies

,

President Donald Trump used the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Friday night to target two prominent gay journalists, mock transgender actress Dylan Mulvaney and deliver a sprawling rally-style address before hundreds of members of the press. Trump made an apparent antigay insinuation about CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, called independent journalist Don Lemon “the dumbest man on television” and offered a strange comparison between CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins and Mulvaney.

Conservatives want us to forget our own power by erasing LGBTQ+ history. We won’t let them.

,

As the Trump administration celebrates America’s historic semiquincentennial – the two and a half centuries that have passed since the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence – it’s important to note that the president and his political party have spent the past several years actively erasing LGBTQ+ Americans and other marginalized groups from public history. The administration removed words like “transgender” and “queer” from the official website for the Stonewall National Monument; it has cut funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and grants that support LGBTQ+ community programs and research of all sorts; Republican school and library boards have removed LGBTQ+-related books from shelves […]

Trump administration formally ends Biden-era LGBTQ+ foster care protections

,

The Trump administration has officially rescinded a Biden-era rule that was designed to help ensure LGBTQ+ children in foster care could access safe, supportive, and affirming placements. Originally introduced in April 2024, the rule required child welfare agencies receiving federal funding to identify designated foster placements equipped to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ young people. It also included training requirements for agencies and sought to ensure LGBTQ+ children had access to age-appropriate support and services. Although the rule never took effect after a federal judge vacated it in 2025, the administration has now formally removed it altogether. The Department of Health and Human […]
