In the season three finale, there’s a blink-and-miss-it reference to a same-sex couple.

Abby Monteil at Them:

The Australian children’s show Bluey is the latest object of right-wing outrage for briefly acknowledging that queer kids and families are everywhere. The season three finale of the wildly popular cartoon, which aired April 14, centered on the show’s eponymous blue heeler puppy coming to terms with her family moving into a new house amid a wedding. However, the episode quietly introduced some LGBTQ+ representation as well: Bluey’s friend, a chihuahua named Pretzel, opened up about his pet guinea pig running away and casually mentioned having two moms. “My mums told me he might come back, but he didn’t,” Pretzel said. It may be a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but hey, some kids have two moms, so why not nod to that fact in a subtle, organic way? The widely viewed show has been criticized by Australian viewers for lacking diversity so here’s hoping this brief mention of the off-screen mums is just a first step toward more representation. After the episode dropped, the show’s many adult fans flocked online to express their excitement over the moment. On IMDb, the episode, entitled “The Sign,” scored a 9.9 out of 10 average based on nearly 1,000 user ratings.

“This is what I’ve been waiting for 🥰🥰🥰🥰,” one TikTok user commented on a video about the scene. “As a gay chihuahua mum that makes me happy 🏳️‍🌈,” another wrote. Unfortunately, even a one-off mention of a cartoon character’s two moms was enough to set off conservative trolls. The Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham blasted the moment on X, writing, “I’ll be honest, sometimes the glee LGBTQ activists take at seeing the destruction of something that was once wholesome, something that championed mothers and fathers and children’s need for both, is really demoralizing.”

Aussie cartoon Bluey introduces an LGBTQ+ family for a brief cameo in its season 3 finale.

Is THIS what happened to the Catholic Church: Shepherds for Sale

Megan Basham blows the biggest whistle on corrupt evangelical pastors, bible study teachers & news outlets in her New York Times best seller, "Shepherds For Sale"

These same male influencers who wanted a hero cookie in 2020 for their stance on "female empowerment" and racial justice in the church, are publicly dragging a sister in Christ to the online woodshed because she had the balls to call out their grift.

Megan Basham’s new book “Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda” is blowing the lid off of some p

I remember years ago when whistleblowers began to sound an alarm that soros-esq cash was infiltrating America's churches. Allegedly these para-church ministries were being funded with dirty money, but whose money and why? Suddenly several "Evangelical" females were all-in for illegal immigration while normies (such as myself) just couldn't figure out what in the world was happening. Well now we know...

I finally purchased Basham's New York Times Best Seller: "Shepherd's For Sale" and I hope you will too.

Payton Armstrong at MMFA:

After conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the Supreme Court’s March 5 majority decision to uphold a lower court order requiring President Donald Trump’s administration to pay USAID contractors for work already completed, right-wing influencers lashed out — calling Barrett a “DEI judge” who was “chosen solely because she checked identity politics boxes” and claiming “the power has gone to her head.”

Barrett joined the majority in upholding a lower court order requiring the Trump administration to pay USAID contractors

On his first day in office, Trump issued an executive order to pause all foreign aid for 90 days. The order prompted lawsuits from multiple aid organizations that have contracts or grants with the U.S. Agency for International Development and State Department, “alleging that the agencies have illegally frozen all foreign aid payments.” In late February, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts paused a federal judge's order requiring the administration “to pay foreign aid funds to contractors and grant recipients.” [White House, 1/20/25; Reuters, 2/27/25]

In a March 5 Supreme Court ruling, Barrett joined the majority to uphold a lower court order requiring the Trump administration to pay USAID contractors for work already completed. The Guardian reported that “Chief Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberal justices in leaving in place a ruling from a US district judge last month, which ordered the administration to unfreeze the nearly $2bn in aid for work that had already been done, and that had been approved by Congress.” [The Guardian, 3/5/25]

Trump nominated Barrett to the Supreme Court during his first administration. Barrett, who was nominated to succeed the late liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2020, was among the four current Supreme Court justices who attended Trump’s March 4 address to a joint session of Congress. [CNN, 9/26/20; Politico, 3/4/25]

Right-wing media have been waging a yearslong campaign against DEI efforts, and they have been attacking judges who have halted the Trump administration’s executive actions. [Media Matters, 7/15/24, 5/30/24, 2/11/25]

Right-wing media personalities launched sexist attacks against Barrett following the March 5 ruling, calling her a “DEI judge” who was “chosen solely because she checked identity politics boxes”

Pro-Trump “prophet” and streaming host Lance Wallnau asserted that Barrett is “NOT one of us” because she was “glaring at Trump” during his address, and suggested Trump’s next Supreme Court nominee should be “a strong male evangelical.” Wallnau posted: “She’s NOT one of us. Notice her glaring at Trump. No more female University professors! They’re overwhelmingly liberal. I’m serious. I may be jet lagged but I think she’s a democrat. We always go with Catholics but never Evangelicals. Next one - a strong male evangelical.” [Twitter/X, 3/5/25; Rolling Stone, 9/29/22]

Right-wing, right-leaning, and conservative Christian commentators denounced a Truth Social post by President Donald Trump that depicts him

Gideon Taaffe and Payton Armstrong at MMFA:

Right-wing, right-leaning, and conservative Christian commentators denounced a Truth Social post by President Donald Trump that depicts him as a Jesus-like figure, calling it “blasphemous,” “horrific,” and “completely inappropriate” and urging him to delete it. Trump subsequently deleted the post and said it was “supposed to be me as a doctor.”

Donald Trump posted — and then deleted — an image seemingly depicting him as Jesus. It's not the first time he's compared himself to a religious figure.

Trump posted a photo depicting himself as a “Jesus-like figure” after he attacked Pope Leo XIV over his comments about U.S. foreign policy and the war in Iran. The image also depicted Trump, “with divine light emanating from his hands,” touching the head of a man in a hospital bed. [The Guardian, 4/13/26]

Trump deleted the image after drawing backlash from right-wing media figures and others. Trump defended posting the image, claiming it depicted him not as Jesus but as a doctor, saying, “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better.” [Mediaite, 4/13/26; The Hill, 4/13/26]

The Washington Post: “One administration official … said it was going too far for Trump to post such an image of himself, even though some of his most loyal MAGA supporters have cast him in quasi-messianic terms.” The anonymous staffer said, “Other people at these Trump rallies do it for him, but when you do it yourself, … it’s sacrilegious at best.” [The Washington Post, 4/13/26]

Trump has previously shared posts depicting himself as or comparing himself to religious figures. Trump has previously posted an image depicting himself as the pope, shared a post of a drawing of Jesus beside him in court, and shared a post that claimed “Jesus is the Greatest. President @realDonaldTrump is the second greatest.” In March, Trump posted a 2007 video that had circulated in “prophetic” Christian circles for years suggesting he was chosen by God to be president and that God would “put him in office.” [PBS, 5/5/25; New York magazine, 10/3/23; Business Insider, 9/24/22; Media Matters, 3/13/26]

Right-wing media pundits-- including those that normally tout their support for Donald Trump-- call out Trump for his since-deleted blasphemous Truth Social post depicting him as Jesus.

why in the world are there so many women telling people to drink unpasteurized milk and take ivermectin when their only qualifications are a BA in women's studies or English literature????

Megan Masham has recently written a book called “Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders traded the truth for a leftist agenda” I was recently asked whether I thought that this was true about the UK Evangelical church too. Here’s the answer I gave. If you want to read Megan’s book, it is available from Amazon. Please note that I should have said “kindle” rather than the platform I do mention!
