DeSantis tears up Miami Pride crosswalk with bulldozers & sledgehammers. State authorities gave no notice to Miami officials that they were coming to destroy the street art. The situation, as described, is frankly outrageous. It seems Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, driven by some combination of political ambition and, let’s be honest, a deep-seated aversion to anything remotely connected to LGBTQ+ pride, decided to unleash a full-blown demolition crew on a perfectly harmless piece of public art: a Pride crosswalk in Miami’s South Beach. The reports indicate that the destruction was carried out with bulldozers and sledgehammers, a level of aggression that feels wildly disproportionate to the perceived “threat” posed by a rainbow-colored crosswalk.… Continue reading
During a recent Oval Office meeting focused on trade, former President Donald Trump veered into culture war politics, mocking transgender people in the presence of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The meeting, which was intended to be a display of cooperation between the two countries, instead saw Trump attack Democrats, the media, and transgender individuals, boasting about his policies on gender and sports. Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, remained silent throughout Trump’s remarks, reflecting the high stakes of the trade relationship between the two nations. Trump’s comments align with his established pattern of targeting transgender and nonbinary people, a recurring theme of his political messaging.

Hegseth, a former Fox News host, also announced plans to overhaul the inspector general process, claiming it favored “complainers” and “poor performers.” President Trump, speaking afterward, praised Hegseth’s speech while critics condemned it as “embarrassing” and “ridiculous,” raising concerns about its impact on military readiness and defense policy. The speech was widely criticized for its focus on culture war grievances and its potential to undermine the military’s ability to address critical issues.

John Ewing’s decisive victory over Republican incumbent Jean Stothert in Omaha’s mayoral race marks a significant rebuke of anti-transgender campaign tactics. Stothert’s campaign heavily focused on anti-transgender messaging, mirroring national trends, but this strategy proved ineffective against a counter-campaign highlighting the mayor’s neglect of city issues. Ewing’s win, the first for a Black mayor in Omaha, signals potential voter fatigue with culture war politics and suggests a shift in the effectiveness of anti-transgender rhetoric in swing districts. This outcome carries implications for future elections, particularly for Rep. Don Bacon’s upcoming reelection campaign, which has similarly relied on anti-trans talking points.
