Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida took credit for sending planeloads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, as part of an apparent bid to force authorities in another state to take responsibility for them.
State Sen. Julian Cyr of Massachusetts told The New York Times that around 50 migrants arrived in two planes about 3 p.m. local time, with no warning.
Fox News Digital, which first reported the story, published a video of migrants disembarking from planes on the island and getting into a van.
Tumblr media
"Yes, Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Martha's Vineyard today were part of the state's relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations," Taryn Fenske, the communications director for DeSantis, told the outlet.
Tumblr media
State Rep. Dylan Fernandes on Twitter said the community rallied to help the migrants, putting them up in a local church.
"Our island jumped into action putting together 50 beds, giving everyone a good meal, providing a play area for the children, making sure people have the healthcare and support they need. We are a community that comes together to support immigrants," he wrote on Twitter.
He also shared photos of the makeshift accommodation.
Cyr, speaking with the Martha's Vineyard Times, criticized the move as a cruel political stunt. On Twitter, he said the migrants had arrived on a charter flight from Texas and appeared to be mostly from Venezuela.
"This is deeply disgusting. This is a cruel ruse that manipulates families that are seeking a better life," he said, describing them as "fundamentally racist tactics."
In recent weeks, the Republican-led states of Texas and Arizona have sent thousands of migrants to Democratic-led areas, including New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC.
They say President Joe Biden's policies are behind a rise in unauthorized migration and that Democratic-led cities should bear the responsibility for them. Some of the areas migrants have been sent to voted to become "sanctuary cities," places where authorities deliberately do not cooperate with efforts to enforce migration laws.
DeSantis is burnishing his anti-migration credentials amid rumors he's positioning himself for a presidential bid in 2024.
Martha's Vineyard is an agricultural area and exclusive vacation destination where former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as Hillary Clinton, frequently spend time. In the offseason, it has about 20,000 residents, and locals told The New York Times there were concerns about the town's long-term ability to host the migrants.
Christina Pushaw, a spokesperson for DeSantis, used the situation to troll liberals.
"Martha's Vineyard residents should be thrilled about this. They vote for sanctuary cities — they get a sanctuary city of their own," she tweeted. "And illegal aliens will increase the town's diversity, which is strength. Right?"
Tumblr media
Some of you may have been wondering, "Hey, @dontmeantobepoliticalbut, did DeSantis just use Floridian's taxes to fly migrants in Texas to Massachusetts?"
You'd be half-right. Remember Blue States pay for Red States. Florida used California's reallocated surplus taxes to fly Texas's migrants to Massachusetts...
The $12 million money comes from interest earnings from Florida's $8.8 billion portion of the American Rescue Plan's Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund. It provided $350 billion to state and local governments, which the U.S. Treasury said is "to support their response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency."
Another interesting thought....

Margaret Court schlägt Serena Williams in Sachen Grand-Slam-Rekord, Ziegenstatus, Tennis und Interview
Margaret Court schlägt Serena Williams in Sachen Grand-Slam-Rekord, Ziegenstatus, Tennis und Interview
Die australische Tennislegende Margaret Court hat den Rücktritt von Serena Williams nach dem Rücktritt der amerikanischen Macht ins Visier genommen. Kurt gewann in den 1960er und frühen 1970er Jahren in ihrer beispiellosen Karriere 24 Grand-Slam-Titel, darunter einen Grand-Slam-Titel im Jahr 1970. Aber Christians fromme Errungenschaften wurden in den letzten Jahren oft von ihrer ausgesprochenen…

what a beautiful day to remember that "feminist" blogger Charles Clymer was run off the internet in pre MeToo scandal 8 years ago, but has somehow wormed a way back into content as "Charlotte Clymer"

“They can try to ban us. They can try to get rid of our health care. They can try to deny us housing, credit, and public accommodations. They can try to shame us. They can try all they want to erase us, but at some point, they will realize the trans community is never going away. Trans people are everywhere.
Every country, every race, every ethnicity, every religion, every socioeconomic level, every period of human history — we are everywhere. We are natural. You can’t rid of what’s natural. I think they know that, and it terrifies them.” —> Charlotte Clymer
Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility

Actor Josh Gad, who voiced the character "Olaf" in the Disney movie "Frozen," said that he felt "alienated" by liberals in the wake of "antisemitic tropes" that have seemingly become popularized online since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
"I have always called myself a Progressive," Gad wrote on Thursday in a post on Threads, a competitor to X. "The past 2 weeks have made me feel so desperately alienated & disheartened by what that seems to encompass. I’ll always stand for what’s right but to see people I’ve always identified with ripping down posters of hostages & say such horrific & uninformed things that truly resemble antisemitic tropes is very troubling to me & so many. I stand with all those who want to protect innocent Palestinians." 
"Why can’t that same attitude be expressed for Jews?" he asked. 
Gad was responding to a post from activist Charlotte Clymer on how the left's response to the war has been a major miscalculation. 
"It's been rather astonishing to watch just how badly much of the far-left is miscalculating this moment," Clymer wrote. "It has never been more clear how many of them are firmly ensconced in echo chambers, and it is doing them no favors. Quite the opposite."
This is not the first time that Gad, the grandson of Holocaust survivors, has spoken out about the conflict between Israel and Gaza. Lieba Nesis, entertainment writer for The Jewish Voice, told Fox News Digital in an interview that Gad has previously "felt the need to correct himself" for his initial reaction expressing sympathy for Israel, writing on social media he was "personally attacked, shamed, unfollowed and threatened" and reiterated his long-standing criticism of the Israeli government's "occupation and their attacks on innocent Gazans." 
Celebrities have been facing pressure to speak out on the war after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas terrorists on civilians across southern Israel near the Gaza border that shocked the world. 
Some celebrities, like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, have condemned Hamas, also writing that "the growing loss of innocent Israeli and Palestinian life is heart-wrenching."
Over 1,000 members of the entertainment industry signed an open letter expressing solidarity with Israel. Among the signatories include Amy Schumer, Jerry Seinfeld, Gal Gadot, Jamie Lee Curtis, Helen Mirren, Mark Hamill, Chris Pine, Mayim Bialik, Billy Porter, Debra Messing and Michael Douglas. 
Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather has also expressed his unabashed support for Israel, writing on Instagram, "I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes. This is not a time for politics. This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Human Kind!" He also sent a private jet full of supplies to Israel's military.

Did you have “Republicans freak out over the gender politics of the Barbie movie” on your 2023 bingo card? I, for one, did not—yet here we are. The movie hasn’t even been released yet, but Fox News is leading the charge against it, giving a host of right-wing influencer types the space to whine that, as one chyron predictably put it, the “Barbie movie goes woke.” According to one of its stars, Simu Liu, “I’m so glad that this movie exists because I think it puts the final nail in the coffin of that very heteronormative idea of what gender is, and what is or is not gendered.” Writer and activist Charlotte Clymer tweeted a compelling review of the movie, writing that it “feels like an especially potent trojan horse, beckoning us with well-earned laughter into a larger conversation on gender and how Barbie—the defining cultural symbol of high femme expression—has shaped that discourse over the past six decades.” So you can begin to see the problem from the right-wing culture warriors’ point of view. In the words of one Christian movie review site gleefully quoted by Fox News, ”The new BARBIE movie forgets its core audience of families and children while catering to nostalgic adults and pushing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender character stories. Furthermore, the movie was poorly made with multiple premises, losing even the most die-hard fans.” (News flash: Nostalgic adults can be parents who make decisions about their family’s movie-watching habits.) The movie’s undermining of Barbie’s traditional place in the gender canon includes the title character’s feet suddenly going flat rather than maintaining her eternal high-heeled stance, experiencing objectification by men for the first time as she leaves Barbie world for the real world, and Ken becoming what Clymer describes as “something of a Jordan Peterson guru to the other Kens.” All of these are potent critiques of gender representation in Barbie—a brand long loathed by many feminists—and could be the targets of right-wing ire. Indeed, Ginger Gaetz, wife of Rep. Matt Gaetz, is trying to grow her social media profile on the basis of the movie, despite the fact that she and Matt attended and eagerly posed for pictures at the premiere.

The Texas GOP denied the Log Cabin Republicans, which is an organization that represents LGBTQ Republicans, earlier this month from having a booth at their state convention, sparking a debate online about the treatment of gay conservatives.
The state GOP, which includes anti-LGBTQ language in their official party platform, voted 4-3 against allowing the Log Cabin Republicans from setting up their booth, according to the Dallas Voice. The vote comes during Pride Month, with some members of the LGBTQ community sounding the alarm about a rise in homophobia and transphobia.
The Log Cabin Republicans pushed back against the decision, writing in a statement that the party needs to "expand the tent" to include members of the LGBTQ community or face electoral losses.
"President Trump, who historically expanded the GOP's coalition, made clear that LGBT conservatives are welcome in the America First movement and the Republican Party," the organization wrote. "It's shameful that the Texas GOP leadership is choosing not to follow his lead."
Some Republicans also condemned the decision. Donald Trump Jr. accused the Texas Republican Party of "cancelling" gay Republicans by excluding them from the convention.
"The Texas GOP should focus its energy on fighting back against the radical democrats and weak RINOs currently trying to legislate our 2nd Amendment rights away, instead of canceling a group of gay conservatives who are standing in the breach with us," the former president's son wrote in a statement to Breitbart.
Republican strategist Arthur Schwartz wrote that the state Republican Party should instead focus on punishing GOP Senator John Cornyn, who has advocated for some gun control measures following last month's deadly mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 students and two teachers.
"Hey @MattRinaldiTX. You should spend less time kicking Log Cabin Republicans out of the TX GOP convention and more time focusing on kicking John Cornyn out of the party for promoting this garbage," he tweeted.
Tumblr media
Others pointed out the Republican Party's resistance to supporting LGBTQ rights, including same-sex marriage, should make the decision from the state party unsurprising. Some Twitter users questioned why members of the LGBTQ would even vote for a party opposing their rights.
According to Texas Tribune Editor-in-Chief Sewell Chan, the state party's official platform contains language defining homosexuality as an "abnormal lifestyle choice."
Meanwhile, former Democratic Congressional candidate Russell Foster wrote on Twitter: "Yet they will still vote for Republicans in November even though they have shown over the last 6 years to hate everything that the Log Cabin Republicans represent. The Texas GOP bills have been attacking them for years. Why keep voting for the people who don't want you to exist?"
Tumblr media
"Watching Log Cabin Republicans be denied access at the Texas Republican Convention is like if cows were incredulous over their applications being rejected by the butcher," tweeted writer Charlotte Clymer.

Newsweek reached out to the Texas Republican Party for comment.

it’s so funny to me that charlotte clymer is still a noxious online poster because I’m never going to forget that time in 2014 where she published this dogshit BuzzFeed thing that went viral. it compares the prevalence of false rape allegations to very low probability events, but the math is fucked up six ways to sunday to the point where it should be obvious.
I think people forget this because she did this pre transition and everything on BuzzFeed is just meant to be consumed and discarded and never thought about again. and it’s not even her, it’s the fact that this went so viral and no one who shared it paused and thought, “wait. these calculations don’t seem correct…” when they read that 1) the odds of false rape accusations somehow work out to 1 in 2.7 million when the general consensus stat is that somewhere from 2-8% of rape cases that are taken to police in the US are found to be false 2) someone is more likely to be killed by an asteroid than falsely accused. I know people don’t like math, but come on.

look, the guys on kiwi farms did some really gross shit and i’ll never defend the harassment and doxxing. i just don’t believe that morals and ethics are why that phony group of online lefties wants to bury the site. that website exposed the dirtiest secrets of so many of them. it’s most famous for outing ana mardoll’s employer, but do you remember what else it outed about ana mardoll? This self professed impoverished disabled trans boy was living as a cis woman in real life, while owning a large house in a major metro area, and using her stepdaughter’s crutches as a photo prop for twitter.
who else were they rapidly uncovering information on? charlotte clymer, shaun king, parker molloy, daniel mallory, grace lavery, among others.
twitter’s greatest villains don’t give a fuck about the morals and ethics of kiwi farms. they give a fuck about their donors and supporters getting brave enough to actually check out kiwi farms for themselves.

This is just my opinion: but I thought the new addition to the women’s March logo was based off of Charlotte Clymer, former male feminist
This is what happens to your brain when you follow too much of gender critical twitter.
