☆ Colorado Rep. Boebert's shameless act after LGBTQ club shooting
  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( Catherine Caruso | Catherine Caruso Is A Freelance Journalist Covering Culture | Politics | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +7 min
A gunman opened fire at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Saturday night, killing five people and injuring 19 others. The shooting at Club Q is a tragic yet predictable outcome of demonizing LGBTQ people and using children as political pawns. Run by Chaya Raichik, Libs of TikTok has targeted LGBTQ people, drag events and Pride celebrations across the country. In addition to Boebert and Libs of TikTok, political leaders like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Florida Gov. We deserve to go to gay bars and drag shows or walk down the street without being attacked or harassed, or killed.

Some right-wing figures who usually back Donald Trump are now slamming him for mocking Ron DeSantis. The former president gave DeSantis the nickname "Ron DeSanctimonious" on Saturday. Trump added fuel to rumors of a rivalry on Saturday when he called DeSantis "Ron DeSanctimonious" at a rally in Pennsylvania. "There was no good reason for Trump to attack DeSantis last night," he tweeted. "What has Ron DeSantis done to earn Trump's scorn here right before an election?"

Seaton showed his state ID. “So I expect that we’re going to hear more stories of trans people being harassed, whether by voters, poll workers, poll monitors or other folks who are present during the election.”Impact of voter ID laws on trans votersVoter identification laws differ widely by state.

☆ How baseless conspiracy theories about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband spread into the GOP mainstream
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Tom Porter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Conspiracy theories spread fast after Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked in their home. He also asserted that the motive for the attack was unclear, although the attacker published a blog expressing support for far-right conspiracy theories and told police he wanted to break Nancy Pelosi's knees. Carlson's monologue alluded to conspiracy theories about the attack that spread across social media over the weekend, the goal of which seems to be to absolve Republicans of blame for possibly inspiring the attacker. DePape he said, is "a man who committed political violence because he was consumed by these right-wing conspiracy theories about how depraved the left is, and they're turning it into a new conspiracy theory about how depraved the left is." They also claimed police statements suggested that a third individual had let police into the property to stop the attack.
☆ Far-right figures appear to be testing Twitter's boundaries for anti-LGBTQ speech

Shields did not respond to NBC News' request for comment. The word “grooming” has long been associated with mischaracterizing LGBTQ people, particularly gay men and transgender women, as child sex abusers. The day before, within hours of Musk's Twitter acquisition, the far-right account Libs of TikTok — which has over 1.4 million Twitter followers and has largely built its following by mocking liberals — tweeted out a post with the word "groomer" written over a dozen times. The far-right celebration comes as homophobic and transphobic slurs and rhetoric have had a resurgence within Republican politics this year. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment concerning several of the more high-profile tweets that included anti-LGBTQ slurs or sentiments.

A federal affidavit debunks far-right conspiracy theories about the attack on Paul Pelosi. Paul Pelosi was hospitalized with a skull fracture but is expected to fully recover. The attacker entered the bedroom and said he wanted to talk to "Nancy," according to the affidavit. The affidavit, however, explains that Paul Pelosi had said in the call the man who identified himself as David was waiting for Nancy Pelosi, and he didn't know him. Jenkins also said the attacker was looking for Nancy Pelosi and that reports that a third person was at the home were untrue.
