Education Department rescinds Biden-era Title IX LGBTQ interpretation
UNREAL!!! Education Department formally rescinds Title IX protections for LGBTQ students. The goal of Trump regime to erase the LGBTQ community from existence thehill.com/homenews/edu...
Conservatives all hate gays. IDK how Bessent got so far up the ladder.
Thank you to all those people who couldn't vote Harris due to any of their disagreements with a particular issue. I hope you're proud of yourselves!! 🖕 Do NOT stay home this year!!!
Project 2025---they wrote the ENTIRE playbook for all of us to see.
Sad day for kids who are already so marginalized. We’ve become a cruel cruel country.
Google Linda McMahon and wrestling assistant adolescents who were sexually abused
These scumbags dont have an ounce of decency between them.
Fuck trump. May he die a painful death and suffer for eternity. Fuck you Donald. Fuck. You.
Heinous and unacceptable. All humans deserve basic rights. It is not Linda Fucking McMahon’s place to judge our 2SLGBTQIA+ neighbours.
They're beating every drum they have for votes.
A pox on every single person who voted for that fucking [insert the most offensive slurs you can think of here] monster. All of this is your fault. That old bitch running the education department into the ground needs to be #3 to the guillotine behind Trump & Miller.
And it's why we need to wipe THEM out of existence.
The Education Department today removed the Biden-era Title IX rule that addressed discrimination against students based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Every opportunity to hurt people already suffering….. a-holes
WTAF? Let’s rename that department to the MisEducation Department, currently helmed by uneducated sycophants. What education is becoming under this regimeis a travesty.🤬💔
“Protect the children!”—until they’re LGBTQ+. 🤬 Title IX says no sex discrimination. Apparently their supposedly Christian nationalist “family values” come with a bigotry exemption. 🤬🇨🇦
Pardon me for not "liking" this post. WTF. I love you guys and how well you keep us informed... but I can't bring myself to click that heart on this. Bluesky really does need to give us some options here. I know some use it to keep track of what they've seen, though.
We need to show up and vote. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/09/im-o...
Timing vis-a-vis Cornell news seems apt. The “protect women” crowd doesn’t seem very concerned with actually protecting women. (Shocker)
This pisses me the hell off. There is absolutely reason for this!! There is no mental gymnastics that can be done to justify stripping rights away from LGBTQIA+ students
It's a short hop from 'kids shouldn't learn about sexuality and gender' to 'it's ok to persecute sexuality and gender' 😱 If you know a kid with an especially close friend, or who isn't solidly 'boyish' or 'girly' enough to gender-code to their teachers' satisfaction- please be their advocate now.😥🌈
I'm so sick of this. #Blues
There's no bottom. Cruelty is the point.
"AMERICAN EDUCATION DEPT. TODAY SURRENDERED ALL INTEGRITY TO DONALD TRUMP." NO FILM.
Well, of COURSE THEY DID. Fucking assholes.🤦♀️😖 #FuckTrump #FuckDJT #Epstein #Iran
This is disgusting. It if discrimination front and center. They are even so proud of what they're doing. Shame on them! This action makes my stomach turn. Remember to vote! Show up at school and city council meetings! They do not deserve a moment of peace for the rest of their miserable lives
Will never take living in Canada for granted.
The entire motto of this administration towards LGBTQ youth is "fuck them kids." thehill.com/homenews/edu...
It's important to remember this is part of a larger strategy to restrict all girls by discouraging competition sports and encouraging activities like cheerleading and other activities that encourage a more biblical gender role
Should be reminded to everyone that Linda McMahon and her husband groomed and raped ring boys in the WWE for decades. It should be reminded every single day.
Their motto towards children in general is "fuck the kids. Literally".
was there ever one single biden admin enforcement action ever anyway? i'm pretty sure there was not and they barely bothered even getting it out
Lizard Eyes Liz is a vile person who has a long history associated with abuse of children
I'd argue that's also their motto for straight/cis kids too (especially kids of color), but they take care to make it "extra fuck them LGBTQ kids in particular," which makes it even more gross. Just pure, uncut evil all the way down.
as usual the focus is on sports but as someone working in higher ed, my more immediate concern is "how is this going to impact harassment protections for a particularly vulnerable subset of the population"
I hope the transphobic queers see this and understand the cost of their betrayal. Selling out your comrades rarely ends well.
exhausted and angry in equal part
Reminder Linda McMahon allegedly covered up a sex scandal where a WWF executive was sexually abusing ring boys
If you're an "LGB w/o the T", I am not a safe space for you. I'm not trans. I can't pretend to know that experience. But I am gay and WELL old enough to remember people speaking to me with bone-deep assurance that they were better stewards of my personal agency than I am. THAT? That, I do know.
Linda McMahon working overtime to prove she's just as bad as Vince is
These God Damned Monsters. Disgusting, filthy people. This country is a fucking nightmare.
Queer people: "We NEED our protections encoded." Democrats: "Nah, it's right there on the paper!" Today:
This is what they've done.
Stone Cold should have run the entire McMahon family over with a steamroller in 1999.
NEWS: Republicans Fear a 'Texas Reckoning' as Farm Recession Deepens; Trump Guts Title IX for LGBTQ+ Americans, ends Student Loans for dozens of majors including social work, Expands spending on Taxpayer Ads, and falls asleep all in one day. A major news update and a big scoop coming this week.
Is Trump really aiming to burn the republic down? Is their some demented plan brewing in that deteriorating brain of his as it looks like single-handedly he may relegate the Republican regime to an ash heap.
Let’s hope so . If any Texan likes how their state has been running under the gop . Then maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to vote out of pure stupidity
Trump rescinded prior guidance on Title IX during his first year in office, then put out a new regulation that experts warned would retraumatize survivors and offer perpetrators impunity. It literally had provisions designed to allow confessed perpetrators to get away with rape.
🧵 This is what I remember about that time period. This NYT article: www.nytimes.com/2017/07/12/u.... I remember it viscerally because if you CTRL+F for "Mock," you'll find a sympathetic, short bit on what happened to C.D. Mock's son.
This is what they've done.
I hope they are ready for it to be restored when Trump is gone. Trump administration repeals Title IX protections for LGBTQ students www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
I mean this is going to face immediate legal challenges to be sure
Will ONLY happen if ALL DEMs VOTE.
It should be restored before then. This is definitionally arbitrary and capricious.
I’d love to believe that, but I lived through the Biden administration and saw how much of Trump’s various crap they left in place, and how congress did NOTHING to ensure any future president could never use the same powers to destroy this country again. January 6th will be repeated this next year.
I'm assuming the next president, 99.9% sure to be a Democrat, will have a group of people study/research every thing he took away from the American people, and return it all. Also needed, a fleet of bulldozer operators.
We need to have Democrats ready with the UNDO act: Un**** Numerous Dumb Orders Just have it apply to everything starting from 12:01pm January 20, 2025. Much faster than trying to go through each individual item.
Don't be fooled: the Trump administration, which just rescinded Title IX protection for LGBTQ students, is coming for gay marriage. The lawyers who helped Trump try to seize power in 2020 knew each other from anti-gay activism. John Eastman ran the virulently anti-gay NOM. This is their goal. 1/
The chaos of the Trump admin is a smokescreen obscuring that gains his religious-right backers are making. They were clear on their goals: kill Roe v Wade, ban abortion and birth control. Public money for private religious schools, and a national "patriotic curriculum". And roll back gay rights. 2/
What will Treasury Secy Bess do? Answer: he'll say nothing but will continue to enrich himself and those of his ilk.
The now defunct 2024 Title IX ruling provided significant protections against sexual harassment and assault, as well as protecting LGBTQ+ students in schools. edsource.org/updates/u-s-...
The timing on this ruling, as we are all learning more about the assault perpetrated by young men at Cornell, is just impeccable
pretty cool that everything is just reverted 50 years because the dumbest 50,000 people in the country voted for hitler
I know we’re under fascism but Jesus Christ. Can’t even protect the kids they pretend to care about.
The secretary can respectfully get sucked into the business end of an F6F Hellcat like many of her political ancestors.
