"Texas GOP Embraces Christian Nationalism and Conservative Agenda for 2024"

At the Texas GOP's 2024 convention, hardline activists, including indicted election fraud conspiracy theorist Steve Hotze, called for "spiritual warfare" against perceived demonic forces on the left. The convention saw the adoption of policies to increase party control over elections, infuse Christianity into public life, and further marginalize Democrats and LGBTQ+ individuals. The event highlighted a growing embrace of Christian nationalism and conspiracy theories within the party, with significant influence from figures like David Barton and support from prominent Republicans.

"Concacaf Clash: USMNT vs. Mexico - A History of Discriminatory Chants and Fan Violence"

The Concacaf Nations League final between the US and Mexico was marred by discriminatory chanting from Mexico fans, leading to multiple stoppages in play. This is not the first time such incidents have occurred, with previous matches also being affected by anti-LGBTQ+ chants. Mexico has faced penalties from FIFA for similar behavior in the past, and Concacaf has implemented a three-step policy to address discriminatory language from fans, including temporary stoppages, stadium announcements, and potential match suspensions. The organization's response to the recent incidents remains unclear.

"Unveiling the Dark Past: Mike Johnson's History with Violent and Extreme Clients"

A review of Republican Congressman Mike Johnson's former legal clients reveals his close association with extreme anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ groups, some of which have ties to violent movements. Johnson, who has openly expressed his anti-abortion and anti-gay beliefs, provided legal services for free to clients who advocated for violence against abortion providers and the LGBTQ community. One former client, who now leads a militant organization linked to the murder of an abortion doctor, also endorsed the hanging of government officials during the January 6th Capitol attack. Despite the violent rhetoric of his clients, Johnson has not distanced himself from their actions or denounced their involvement in the insurrection.

"Hate Thrives: Extremists Transform Texas into a Hotbed, Reveals Report"

A report by the Anti-Defamation League reveals that Texas has become a hotbed for extremism and hate, with a heavy presence of white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ+ groups in the state. The report highlights a significant increase in antisemitic incidents, terrorist plots, and extremist events. It specifically mentions white supremacist groups like Patriot Front and the rise of neo-Nazi activity at anti-LGBTQ+ demonstrations. The report also points to the influence of anti-immigrant and "vigilante" groups along the U.S.-Mexico border. Experts warn that extremist groups are using panic over issues like "groomer" as recruitment tactics. The report calls for nonpartisan policies to address the growing extremism, including the creation of a commission to study domestic violent extremism and holding social media platforms accountable for online extremism.

Marjorie Taylor Greene stands by boyfriend after old drag video resurfaces

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended her boyfriend, Brian Glenn, after an old video of him dressed in drag resurfaced on Twitter. Greene, who has previously taken an anti-drag stance, laughed off the video and called the left "stupid." In the past, she has claimed that allowing children to attend drag shows should be illegal and accused Democrats of using IRS agents to target Trump voters who refused to support "drag queen story time for children." Glenn, a producer at a right-wing broadcasting network, reposted the video and said he loved the experience.

Do No Harm: The Anti-Diversity Initiative Fueling Anti-Trans Legislation

Many anti-LGBTQ bills across the US have similar language that originates from right-wing organizations like Do No Harm, which advocates against trans inclusion in healthcare. The group produces ready-made bills that can be easily replicated in different states, with similar preambles and citations proclaiming the so-called dangers of gender-affirming healthcare. Despite claims that it protects healthcare workers and patients from "discriminatory, divisive ideologies," the nonprofit's position conflicts with the recommendations of leading medical organizations, which warn against promoting pervasive stigmas against LGBTQ people.

The Controversial Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth in Kentucky and Florida.

Kentucky lawmakers passed a bill that bans gender-affirming care for transgender youth and allows teachers to misgender their students. The bill also mandates doctors to set a timeline to de-transition children already taking puberty blockers or undergoing hormone therapy. Teachers would not be allowed to discuss sexual orientation or gender identity with students of any age, and school districts would be required to craft policies that forbid transgender students from using the restroom tied to their gender identities. Opponents have called it unconstitutional, dangerous, and among the "most extreme anti-trans bills in the nation." Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has 10 days to either veto or sign the bill into law.
