@KevinMc79739138 @MyersSD30 @NYCMayor Pay attention! “Equality” does not mean we want special attention. We just want >EQUALITY,< If we get the rights we deserve according to the constitution and the bill of rights, it does not take anything away from you. It isn’t pie.

I’m reposting this 2008 clip that Trump really, REALLY doesn’t want circulating. It’s him gushing over the Clintons: “Bill Clinton was a great President. Hillary Clinton is a great woman.” So whatever you do, for the love of God, do NOT retweet this.

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

It's the fucking guns.

BREAKING: Trump’s State Department just declared abortion, DEI, and LGBTQ+ rights “human rights violations” — and the world is stunned.

In a jaw-dropping escalation of the Trump administration’s war on basic freedoms, the State Department has quietly rewritten the definition of “human rights” to target abortion access, LGBTQ+ equality, DEI policies, free-speech protections abroad, and even countries that allow refugees into their borders. Yes — Donald Trump is now trying to redefine human rights as the opposite of human rights.

The stunning new guidance, sent to every U.S. embassy and consulate on Earth, orders American diplomats to treat the following as human rights abuses:
• Countries with state-funded abortion
• Countries with workplace DEI protections
• Countries that allow gender-affirming care for transgender youth
• Countries with “hate speech” laws that crack down on extremist threats
• Countries that accept migrants seeking safety
In other words, if a country protects women, LGBTQ+ people, minorities, immigrants, or the public from violent speech, the Trump administration wants the world to believe that country is violating human rights.

You truly can’t make this up.

The administration even wants diplomats to count how many abortions each country performs each year — as if a public health statistic is some kind of war crime, instead of a tool that saves lives.

And while Trump is suddenly obsessed with “human rights,” his first human rights report under this new philosophy was one-third the length of previous years and conveniently left out horrific conditions in El Salvador’s prisons and China’s abuses against peaceful protesters. Because when Trump says “human rights,” he apparently means “rights for my base, not for human beings.”

Naturally, human rights experts are sounding the alarm.
Former senior State Department official Uzra Zeya called the new rules “jaw-dropping animosity toward LGBTQ+ people” and slammed Trump for trying to label DEI as a violation of human rights — calling it a “new low.” Amnesty International warned that Trump’s changes tell the world the U.S. no longer believes in the human rights system it helped build in the aftermath of World War II.

Even foreign policy veterans who rarely criticize administrations openly are aghast. One official put it bluntly: “The Trump administration is weaponizing human rights to attack the marginalized instead of protecting them.”

Let’s be clear: This is not a human rights policy. It is a culture-war wish list disguised as diplomacy.
Trump is using America’s global platform to export the most extreme parts of the MAGA agenda — punishing countries that protect equality and rewarding those that align with far-right ideology.

The State Department’s deputy spokesperson even had the gall to claim “destructive ideologies” have taken root around the globe. The truth? The only destructive ideology here is the one that says basic equality is evil and discrimination is freedom.

This is the Trump doctrine in a nutshell: Oppression is liberty. Equality is tyranny. Human rights are whatever Donald Trump says they are.

And now he wants to impose that worldview on the entire world.

This isn’t foreign policy. This is fanaticism wrapped in a flag — and America, along with the global community, will be living with the fallout for decades if this nightmare continues.
