‼️🌟🚨South Carolina Governor signs law making Trans students use outdoor porta-potties

If they want privacy, they have to go outside. Trans allies say it’ll lead to bullying.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) signed the latest anti-trans bill to come out of the red state legislature. The law, which McMaster signed last Friday, will banish transgender students who want to use public school restrooms to use porta-potties outside school buildings instead.

House Bill 4756, entitled “the South Carolina Student Physical Privacy Act,” requires multi-person bathrooms, locker rooms, and changing facilities in public K-12 schools and public colleges in the state to be designated for use by one sex only. Sex in the bill is defined as biological sex observed or verified at birth, ABC Columbia reports.

White Supremacists Are Absent From Trump’s Counterterrorism Strategy. Why?

On May 6, the Trump administration released their new counterterrorism strategy. It delineated three “major types of terror groups,” including “narcoterrorists and transnational gangs,” “legacy Islamist terrorists” and “violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists.” In a glaring departure from the Biden administration’s strategy focused on far-right extremists and white supremacists, the Trump administration is cracking down on ideology that they call “anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.” Check it out.... interesting episode.

The FCC is looking for public comment on whether or not to add a warning to shows that feature trans characters, and I’ve seen almost no one talking about this, if they’re allowed to label people like that, then it’s one more step down a slippery slope towards something worse. Please go leave a comment telling them not to do this!

The deadline is May 22.
