File in: Another Very Interesting Gay Documentary! 

“Mr. Gay Syria” is a documentary by Ayse (can’t find her surname, oddly), produced internationally between France, Germany and Turkey, and chronicles the journey of gay Syrian refugees in Turkey. Their stories culminate in a Mr. Gay Syria contest, which leads to an opportunity to compete in Mr. Gay World. The film is still in funding stages and appears to be a week out from their crowdfunding deadline so show them some love!

It’s apparent that Betty DeVos is not qualified to run the Dept. Of Education, but she was able to basically buy a Cabinet post. Even the most minimal of research will show you how unprecedented it is for a donor of this magnitude to receive a Cabinet position.

But here is something she wrote in 1997 that will clear up any doubt you may have on the intention of these donations from DeVos and her family.

I have decided to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence. Now I simply concede the point. They are right. We do expect something in return. We expect to foster a conservative governing philosophy consisting of limited government and respect for traditional American virtues. We expect a return on our investment. ~~Betty DeVos, Roll Call newspaper, 1997

Stephanie Murphy files bill that would remove Stephen Bannon from National Security Council

Florida congresswoman, and Winter Park resident, Stephanie Murphy filed a bill Wednesday that would essentially remove Trump's top political advisor Stephen Bannon from the National Security...

“Our men and women in uniform, our intelligence and homeland security professionals, and our citizens should feel secure in their knowledge that the critical decisions made by the NSC are free from political considerations. The American people deserve a national security policymaking process that inspires confidence, not cynicism,” said Murphy in a House floor speech. CALL THIS WOMAN’S OFFICE AND SAY THANK YOU. ENCOURAGE HER TO PUSH HARD FOR THIS BILL. CALL YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSPEOPLE AND ASK THEM TO SPONSOR/SUPPORT IT!

Find your representative Find your senator

[gallifreyburning]

ftr this bill is officially called “Protect The National Security Council From Political Interference Act” (link to official congressional info re: the bill and where it stands)

I called Representative Murphy’s office today and talked with a staffer - I’m not from Florida, and I told them so upfront, and asked how I could support this bill in my home state. The staffer said to definitely call my own state Representative and Senators, both - if we can find a Senator to support the bill, they can introduce it into the Senate and it can be voted on in both houses of Congress at the same time. IF YOU HAVE A DEMOCRATIC SENATOR, PLEASE CALL THEM AND ALERT THEM TO THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MEASURE, AND ASK THEM TO INTRODUCE IT TO THE SENATE.

He also said that calls to Representative Murphy’s office definitely help, in terms of tallying support for the measure in general. 

PLEASE CALL. 

[sashayed]

ACTION ITEM: call your senators and ask them to support Rep. Murphy’s movement to remove Steve Bannon from the National Security Council. Emphasize Bannon’s white supremacist ideology and his stated intention to destroy the state, and – especially with Republicans – MAKE IT PERSONAL. i have like 6 messages in my inbox about how nice it feels to say politely, “Please tell the Senator that if she does not stand against Steve Bannon’s poisonous and destructive agenda, my community and I will ensure that someone else wins her seat in the next election. Thank you.” (it really feels so good, guys.)

[ifeelbetterer]

Dudes, I called Stephanie Murphy’s office number too and was like, “yeah, I’m totes not a constituent but blessings be upon her house” (not exact quote, not even a little), and the staffer was like, “but where are you calling from? for curiosity/records?” and I was like, “lol Michigan” and she audibly did a doubletake and went, “cool cool cool but have you called your–” and I was like, “GURL I called both senators and my congresswoman first” and she did a SECOND audible doubletake and was like, “well, that’s super cool. thank you for doing a good thing” and i was like, “no YOU” and she was like, “no YOU” and we ended the phone call with mutual good vibes.

In short, I recommend calling this lady and letting her know she’s the bee’s knees and not just because it’s the right thing to do, but apparently they don’t know we appreciate this kind of thing? Let this woman know she’s the cat’s meow. Because she is.

this is the kind of momentum we need to see on the short and longer term.

This is a hard read. Bannon is a fucking monster.

“Bannon failed to pay or underpaid child and spousal support at a time when he was making $500,000 a year and was, according to documents he shared, worth much more.”

The Indiana state legislature is considering an authoritarian bill that would essentially allow police to kill protesters with zero accountability.

Republican senator Jim Tomes introduced Senate Bill 285 in January, though it was given its first committee hearing on Wednesday. The bill authorizes city officials to use “any means necessary” to break up a group of 10 or more protesters blocking traffic, “even to the point of costing lives.”

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

Keep an eye on this bill. Keep an eye on it’s progress and it’s refutations and it’s inevitable day in court if it gets passed.

This is what I call a canary bill. If it passes both the legislative and judicial branches of the government, it serves as a hallmark on how far gone we are. If it passes the state and is deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court, then we have passed a point from which we cannot return.

Do not forget about this, please.
