Ted Cruz Vacations in Cancun as Texans Freeze and Pandemic Rages

Cruz to Mexico

Texas Senator Ted Cruz flew to Cancun Mexico as we suffered in freezing weather without electricity for a spur of the moment 'family vacation'.

In the tweets below you can see Ted Cruz board a flight for Mexico, with his wife and daughter for company.

Sources say that Ted Cruz had booked a return flight for Saturday but changed his itinerary for a flight back yesterday, Wednesday,  2/17/2021.

Ted Cruz went on vacation as the GOP created statewide power outages left millions without heat in 5 degree temperatures as  Covid-19 ravaged our citizenry. On top of that, many in the state, like me still don't have drinking water.


In desperation I accepted an invitation to stay with a friend in Dallas despite being warned she may have been exposed to someone with Covid-19. It was a difficult long trip but I was thankful.

However when we got there the conditions were terrible so I sat on the floor near their door crying and searching for for someone, anyone who would save my kitty and I from freezing.

Meanwhile Ted Cruz.....

I finally found our haven last night at a UU church...so I didn't get back in time to help with this..


This while the inoculated Ted Cruz enjoyed his privileged life in comfort with his inoculated family while his duty was here, with the people he swore to serve. I am enraged beyond words and so are many of his other constituents. 

Heidi Cruz behind Ted Cruz and his daughter with the cop near in Houston on the way for a four day vacation while I freeze in my unheated apartment. A stringer in Cancun got these shots of Ted Cruz taking an early flight back to Houston. Notice please how deserted the terminal is. ALSO, WHY THE TEXAS COVID MASK TED?  According to the grid operators the wind power generation units operated better than expected producing peak enegery despite not being winterized as manufacturers recommended. The reason Texas suffered when others states didn't is a result of greed and one party rule.

Texas has detached it self from the national power grid making this failure an inevitability.

meanwhile Ted Cruz gets a police escort..



Equality Act poised to pass House vote next week

  Then it's on to the Senate for a Vote



The Equality Act is up for a vote in the US House next week. It will pass and the nationalists know it.

This is why you have seen so many anti trans girls sports bills working there way through state legislatures of late. The GOP is shaking and blowing the trans girls in sports dog whistle as hard as they can.

They know that if the Equality Act passes the Senate as witten they will have lost their target of opportunity, the trans community, the one that coalesces there voter base like none other can. 

Trans Lives Matter, bitches 

The terrorists invaded the capitol but failed to consolidate and hold their ground. They were cowardly idiots captained by military vets, who's bone spur leader deserted them at their apex.

The nationalist know if fail to stop the Equality Act their mindless hoards will truly become rebels without a cause. That will be the fall of the American Nazi party and they know it.

They have one plausible option to turn defeat into an excuse.

Mitt Romney offered the Democrats a way to do it without illegal discrimination vis-à-vis a religious clause. But if the Democrats fail to bite, as we expect they will, the GOP might  call a filibuster. It would be in their pitiful minds sorched earth, the last resort.



Send a message to your Senator using the NCTE contact form. Tell the Senate: Pass the Equality Act!

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), the sponsor of the bill in the Senate, said in a
statement to the Washington Blade he’s serious about seizing the moment to get the job done with the Equality Act.

“For years, Mitch McConnell’s legislative graveyard blocked the Equality Act from getting so much as a hearing,” Merkley said. “But the American people raised their voices loud and clear in the 2020 elections, and gave Congress and President Biden a strong mandate to make this country a more equal and free place for everyone—including LGBTQ Americans. With new Senate leadership, decisive public support and strong momentum in the U.S. House, I’ll be doing everything I can to ensure that this year will finally be the year that this landmark bill becomes the law of the land.”

Opponents, however, will likely raise as an objection to the Equality Act the participation of transgender kids in sports, which critics say distorts the issue. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), in remarks during a committee hearing, said the idea was “bizarre” and Nikki Haley wrote an op-ed for the National Review against it. The Equality Act’s supporters have affirmed the issue has come up in discussion. No changes are expected in advance of the House vote next week, but the Senate is an open question. One LGBTQ advocate said no decision had been made one way or another to address the issue of transgender kids in sports, although another said the expectation is no changes will be made.

Least we forget. There must not be a Transgender League.

   

 One LGBTQ advocate said he would expect the White House to issue a formal Statement of Administration Policy, an official written communication outlining the executive branch’s position on a particular legislative action, in anticipation of the House vote detailing President Biden’s support for the Equality Act. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request by the Washington Blade to confirm its plans for input.

Takes just a second. Send a message!  Tell the Senate: Pass the Equality Act!

Utah Elementary School Bans Transgender Book "Call Me Max"

An elementary school student in Murray Utah didn't know the book they asked their teacher to read would cause such an uproar. 

*Planet trans is identifying the child with gender neutral pronouns until such a time when we know different.. 

Parents objected to the book the student brought from home “Call Me Max” resulting in an orwellian purging of racial and gender equality books from the district school libraries. The child probably just wanted to introduce themselves to their classmates and now they are scarred for life.

The Murry city school district has now "suspended a program aimed at introducing kids to more diverse and inclusive literature" according to the the Salt Lake Tribune

Their book “Call Me Max” is about a transgender child who wanted his teacher to call him Max. It involves people of color whom may be gender non binary, gross bugs, cisgender classmates and their journey together to an understanding that not everyone is just like them.

Utah Log Cabin Republicans support bills that would kill transgender youth

 

Utah Log cabin Republican president Ryan Woods told kutv that HB 92, a bill to deprive trans youth of gender-affirming healthcare, wasn't about LGBT people at all.

Woods continued to say that the reason that HB 92 hasn't been introduced in committee was for fear of potential push back. That may be true as then Lt. Governor Spencer Cox earned the respect of Utah's LGBTQ community during a vigil (full video below) asking for forgiveness shortly after the Orlando massacre.

If this is any indication of the Governor's current position, HB 92 doesn't stand a chance.


HB 92 would require a state medical association committee to levy fines against doctors who prescribe puberty blockers to minors. 

Puberty blockers are a safe and time-proven procedure that has been shown to significantly improve the quality of life and lower suicidal ideation for transgender youth,. (ref. American Pediatrics Association Vol. 141, Issue 5 1 May 2018 )

The American Medical Association issued this statement clarifying their position on gender-affirming care.
Improving access to gender-affirming care is an important means of improving health outcomes for the transgender population. Receipt of gender-affirming care has been linked to dramatically reduced rates of suicide attempts, decreased rates of depression and anxiety, decreased substance use, improved HIV medication adherence and reduced rates of harmful self-prescribed hormone use.
The AMA does not approve of surgical operations until the patient has reached the age of consent.
I have had the privilege to observe the Provo City Shcool District as they strove to write their Non-Discrimination procedures worthy of the transgender affirming agenda that the district adopted unanimously in December 2020.

It is no easy task given that individuals like woods who pretend to represent the LGBT community while acting to subvert their efforts at every opportunity.

Utah Log cabin Republican president Ryan Woods offered images of a recent pride event to validate his standing.


Woods represents a far-right cult of radical >trump sycophant extremists known as "Log Cabin Republicans". They may be gay, but they are not one of us.

HUD to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
 announced in a press release today that it will administer and enforce the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) issued a memorandum stating that HUD interprets the Fair Housing Act to bar discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity and directing HUD offices and recipients of HUD funds to enforce the Act accordingly. The memorandum begins implementation of the policy set forth in President Biden’s Executive Order 13988 on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation (Executive Order), which directed executive branch agencies to examine further steps that could be taken to combat such discrimination.

“Housing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity demands urgent enforcement action,” said Acting Assistant Secretary of FHEO, Jeanine M. Worden. “That is why HUD, under the Biden Administration, will fully enforce the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. Every person should be able to secure a roof over their head free from discrimination, and the action we are taking today will move us closer to that goal.”

Candidate Biden made a campaign promise to the mother of an 8-year-old trans girl to flat out change the laws and he is being good to his word. The current rule vacates the rule by the previous administration which encouraged shelters to out and turn away transgender people on the basis of their gender identity.
