The FBI is reportedly considering categorizing transgender people as “violent extremists,” a move allegedly spurred by organizations linked to Project 2025 and driven by the recent death of right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk. According to reports, the Bureau may treat trans individuals as part of its “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” category, defined as those seeking societal collapse through chaos. This potential classification, fueled by false claims linking a transgender individual to Kirk’s death, is supported by conservative groups seeking to designate “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism” as a domestic terrorism threat, potentially impacting activists and allies. Despite right-wing efforts to portray trans people as violent, there is no evidence to support significant patterns of violence committed by the transgender community.

The Wall Street Journal published a live update that falsely claimed ammunition found at a shooting was engraved with “transgender ideology,” which was later proven inaccurate. This initial reporting was swiftly contradicted by other news outlets and officials who reported different findings about the ammunition’s markings. The author questions the Journal’s decision to publish this unverified information, particularly given the history of false accusations against the trans community and the context of blaming the left for the shooting. The author suggests this incident reflects a bias, as the Journal, owned by Rupert Murdoch, appeared to promote the Republican party line.

Nancy Mace says the Charlie Kirk shooter was “a tr***y” & makes shooting all about herself.
It’s hard to know where to start, but let’s just dive right in. The initial reaction to the shooting of Charlie Kirk was, frankly, predictable. Nancy Mace, in what has become a recurring pattern, seemed more focused on scoring political points and pushing her agenda than on offering genuine concern or seeking the truth. The comments and observations about her actions are, to be blunt, overwhelmingly critical, and with good reason. The claim that the shooter was transgender, a slur in itself, was immediately and unequivocally proven wrong.… Continue reading
Nancy Mace yells at Sara Jacobs over “boob jobs is gender-affirming care” comment, and the whole situation is a perfect storm of political drama, personal jabs, and some genuinely thought-provoking questions about what we consider “gender-affirming care.” It seems like the core issue boils down to a disagreement about whether certain procedures and treatments should be categorized in this way, and, of course, a hefty dose of personal animosity between the two congresswomen.
Mace’s reaction appears to be one of outrage, with reports of her yelling at Jacobs for making comments about “my body.” The initial trigger seems to be Jacobs’ comment about “boob jobs” being gender-affirming care.… Continue reading

The U.S. Education Department has declared that Denver Public Schools breached Title IX regulations by establishing all-gender bathrooms and allowing students to use bathrooms aligned with their gender identity, a decision that stems from an investigation at East High School.
