Talks froze in 2016. Now Erdoğan's regime bans Pride marches, jails LGBTQ+ journalists, and wants prison time for same-sex weddings. Some candidate. Skip the trip. Skip Turkish Airlines. #boycottTurkey [contains quote post or other embedded content]14 Sep 2026 06:12 +0000at://did:plc:5gpw4evigrdjkkltfngd3mbu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvhhd3vpbs2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/paulschoppach.org/post/3mvhbqoz42k2dMake no mistake about the fact that the Ellison's directive was - turn CBS News and specifically 60 Minutes into another propaganda organ for maga politics favorable to trump.

Republicans killed country-of-origin labeling on meat products. No requirement to tell you where it came from. So that package of hamburger at your grocery store? Mystery meat. Could be from anywhere on earth.

The anchor stopped him. Ty Cobb didn't back down. Judge Kaplan already ruled it: rape as most people understand the word. Disney/ABC paid $16M rather than say it.

I am queer. They have been coming for us for centuries. What is new is the government dressing it up as science. Trans people are four times more likely to be victims of violent crime. We are not the threat. We are the targeted. https://truthout.org/articles/trump-backed-study-attempts-to-link-pro-trans-beliefs-with-political-violence/06 Sep 2026 00:42 +0000at://did:plc:5gpw4evigrdjkkltfngd3mbu/app.bsky.feed.post/3musr5gefd22chttps://bsky.app/profile/paulschoppach.org/post/3muqcrbsguk2bJonny Quest was my favorite. A scientist, the man who lived with them, two boys, one adopted from halfway around the world. Nobody in the show ever explained the arrangement. I was a queer kid watching that, and it looked like a family I might get to have.
