In 2024, I uncovered how a county in Ohio was implementing radical transgender child welfare policies.
I obtained a spreadsheet used by county staff to track if parents of “trans” kids were affirming their child’s transgender identify.
The spreadsheet was part of the Ohio county’s ‘Safe Identification’ program, which taught social services staff how to collect information about the sexuality and gender identity of children.
It was a shocking investigation.
A bill was introduced this year in Ohio that would clarify affirming a child’s sex is not a form of child abuse.
It has not become law.
Many have prematurely declared victory on transgender ideology—while most Democrats and activists haven’t budged on the issue.
They continue pushing the lie that you can change your sex in Ohio and across the nation.
🚨HUGE: Democracy Restored mapped the network behind a years-long lawfare campaign targeting conservative lawyers with bar complaints and related filings.
181 actions. 34 jurisdictions in 26 states. Millions in documented funding. And a network of organizations REPEATEDLY targeting many of the same attorneys.
One architect said the goal was to “shame them and make them toxic,” weaponizing the law to ruin reputations and careers. Attorneys should not be punished for their work by partisan ideologues with an axe to grind.
The overall goal is to make lawyers hesitate to take on conservative clients and issues, leaving Americans with fewer options for legal representation.

France’s most infamous no-go zone has a far-left Muslim mayor laughing with rioters at a high school being burned down.
France is watching its own collapse.

God chose me because He knew I'd never back down and that I'd fight.
This is me facing Scott Wiener and a room of white liberals selling trans rights as Black civil rights.

SEAN KENNEDY to the Texas House Select Committee on Oversight: “I have disturbing news for you...
Not one of you, nor the governor, nor the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, nor the Lieutenant Governor, nor the Attorney General are the most important or influential person in Texas criminal justice system right now.
That woman is named Jessica Brand.
It's not Jose Garza, it's not John Creuzot, it's not Joe Gonzalez, it's Jessica Brand.
And I'll tell you why. My name is Sean Kennedy, and I'm the policy director of the nonprofit Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, and I'm the principal author of the September 2025 report, Outsourcing Justice: How Donors and Activists Control Progressive Prosecutors and Corrupt the Justice System.
That report, based on 50,000 pages of open records requests, including the five DAs called the Texas Five here in Texas... and across 22 states, we identified 40 different DAs that were the advisees or clients of the Wren Collective.
And I'll explain. In 2019, the Office of Dallas's newly elected district attorney, John Creuzot, signed a non-disclosure agreement with a group called the Justice Collaborative, which received $500,000 the year before in 2018 from George Soros' Open Society Policy Center.
That same year, Mr. Creuzot's campaign received $1 million from the Texas Justice and Public Safety Political Action Committee and the Texas Organizing Project, whose almost sole donor was George Soros.
The Justice Collaboratives, Jessica Brand, and a woman you may be familiar with here in Travis County, Trudy Straussberger, then provided Mr. Creuzot with policies on bail, marijuana, criminal trespassing, and theft.
Tellingly, Mr. Straussberger told Mr. Creuzot's own personal assistant what policies he would be announcing at the press conference to follow.
And then Ms. Brand provided Mr. Creuzot with final line edits on the letter he sent to the county judges and magistrates about his new bail policy. Ms. Brand and Ms. Strausberger arranged a briefing call over those policies with activist groups before the announcement, including the Creuzot donor, the Texas Organizing Project. Ms. Straussberger, who now serves as first assistant to Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza and Ms. Brand, also engaged with the Bexar County new district attorney, Joe Gonzalez. Ms. Brand communicated directly with Mr. Gonzalez and his first assistant, Ken Christian Hendrickson, providing policies on marijuana bail, sentencing, and plea guidelines, and directing them to even drop a specific death penalty case, as well as the charges against a man who assaulted a police officer and was then shot by that officer. But that free advice from Ms. Brand under the guise of her new consulting firm included communications help, policy prescriptions, and direct level advice that wasn't truly free.
The way that Ms. Brand operates is not to provide free advice to her clients because somebody is paying her. It's just not the taxpayers, the people of Texas, or even directly the office that employs her.
It is her donors. And her donors are very powerful and more importantly, are overlapping with the campaign donors to these same district attorneys.
When Miss Straussberger moved on to Travis County in 2021, she also took on a new role as the board secretary for another major campaign donor to all these prosecutors, the Real Justice PAC and the its parent organization, the Grassroots Law Project.
Together, those two groups at the same time paid Ms. Brand's firm over $1.1 million on behalf of these district attorneys, including direct compensation in 2021, the year after Mr. Garza took office for campaign work on behalf of Mr. Garza's campaign...”

There is no difference between the serial k*ller and the gender-mutilating doctor. Both should be punished, following a fair trial, with capital punishment.
Let God sort them out.
DO NOT LET A SINGLE ONE OF THEM ESCAPE JUSTICE.
Every single doctor and healthcare professional who participated in the gender mutilation of children must be punished relentlessly.
This is the real Handmaid's Tale:
It's estimated that roughly 5 million European women were captured and enslaved as concubines in the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
Tens of thousands in the Imperial Harem alone (clip below).
They were taken in raids, captured during battles and sieges during Ottoman invasions into Europe, from their homes and off ships as they traveled. From Iceland to Ireland to Eastern Europe, these young girls were forced into s*xual slavery by the Turks.
If they landed in the Imperial Harem, they were inspected like brood mares and converted to Islam. If chosen for a night with the sultan, they were combed over, washed, had all body hair removed and were decorated with henna before being deflowered by their new slave master.
5 million European women. Stolen and forced into s*xual slavery. Guarded by enslaved African eunuchs, castrated for this very purpose.
The Barbary slave trade across the board, from North Africa to the heart of the Ottoman Empire, considered these female slaves so valuable they wouldn't even generally accept ransoms or demands for their return by European powers or church groups trying to buy them back.
Why don't we talk about Islamic slavery, still ongoing to this day? Thousands of women are still held in this bondage in 2026.
And when we do discuss it, why do some historians make it sound like this:
For the last couple of days, I have been thinking about something that happened to my family and how differently it is being looked at now.
When transgender pastor Aaron Miller filed a DCF complaint against me, I was accused of neglecting and abusing my daughter because I would not affirm her “male” identity.
A DCF social worker came to my house. Ilene was not home. But she saw my home. She saw all the pictures in the photo album —years of memories full of love. She saw the environment my daughter lived in. She could see that Ilene was not homeless, that she had a home, that she was loved and welcomed.
And yet I was still considered “unsafe” for my own daughter.
Why?
Because I did not agree that my daughter was a boy. Because I did not agree to use male pronouns.
At the hearing, every professional involved—including the judge and lawyers—used male pronouns for my daughter.
Yes, the allegations were eventually dropped.
But they were dropped the day before Ilene turned 18.
The case was dropped, but the damage was already done. The wedge between my daughter and me became so wide that we were never able to reconnect.
I was not allowed on the Rider University campus because I was considered “unsafe.”
They wanted my daughter to be safe.
Today, she is safe in her grave.
She died after an overdose of Benadryl while taking testosterone.
She is safe, just like Yaeli Martinez.
And now I look at these two documents.
The Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act, introduced by @SenEricSchmitt , addresses whether parents should face child-welfare action because they raise their child according to the child’s sex rather than affirming a claimed gender identity.
And just days before, @HeritageForReal published a factsheet titled “Affirming a Child’s Sex Is Not Abuse,” making many of the same arguments about parents, child welfare, schools, doctors and other professionals.
I keep coming back to one question:
How much training did the people surrounding my daughter receive?
What were her high school personnel taught?
What were her karate coaches taught?
What was transgender pastor Aaron Miller taught?
What was her transgender therapist taught?
What was her endocrinologist taught?
What was Rider University taught?
And what were the DCF social workers and other professionals including judge involved in my case taught?
Because when a mother can be labeled abusive and unsafe simply because she does not agree that her daughter is a boy, I think these are reasonable questions to ask.
What were these people taught? Who taught them? And most importantly, when the decisions they made have consequences, who takes responsibility?
These are questions I have been asking for a long time. Maybe now it is time for others to start asking them too.

❗️No parent should lose their child for refusing to deny biological reality❗️
The *Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act* would protect parents from having CPS weaponized against them for refusing to “affirm” a child’s transgender identity.
I was personally attacked with CPS for not affirming my confused 12-year-old — and I’ve since met FAR too many loving parents who have *lost their children to CPS and family court for this!*
Loving and protecting your child is not abuse. This must end.
@walterkirn@MaceChan I wish you and Matt Taibbi could do "This Week" together again. Required listening.
You are my favorite brilliant curmudgeon Muppet come-to-life.
The least qualified and lowest character individuals wield the greatest power in the year of our Lord 2026. New Mexico is not unique. Every level of government is a kakistocracy.
We are under biblical judgment for our slaughter of babies here, and the innocent abroad in Israel's wars.
May God grant us repentance before the abyss of anarchy opens under our feet.
The Governor of New Mexico has just declared the 1st & 2nd Amendment “does not exist” due to an “emergency.”
Under this legal theory *all* of our “rights” are essentially eliminated.
Watch the most evil & tyrannical 60 seconds you’ve ever heard from a politician:
@angelus_arcus@FmrRepMTG Friend, I don't argue that the law is written as noted. De jure is different than de facto. Judges are the law in the US, and they do as the please within the administrative state.
I know this from experience, not theory.
"The law" is what the judge tell you that it is when he rules against you and takes your assets, and sentences you to prison.
You do not live in a constitutional republic. You live in a dikastocracy.
These people selling "buy my legal services instead of paying taxes" may be well-meaning, but they are wrong.
