  3. “[North Carolina [state election board member and Democrat] Jeff Carmon … said some GOP county plans had ‘racial undertones.’

  4. #Texas Governor #GregAbbott had decided that washing stations at Texas airports used by #Muslims before prayer are religious #discrimination against good ol' Christian boys like him because, well, *he* doesn't use them.

    Also because he's an #Islamophobe and thinks it plays well with his #Republican base, which it probably does.

  5. When a wolf tells you is going to eat you, believe them.

    So what reaction will we get from there EU or the UK? Nada I can predict. It has taken a very long time to get (a few) documented allegations of murder by the IDF to investigation (they will not go further)

  6. “If there is one thing all #religious liberty scholars & advocates…have agreed on, it is that the #FreeExerciseClause forbids #government #discrimination because of #religion,” Steven T. Collis, a UT-Austin #law professor, said….“Although Gov. Abbott’s letter characterized what the airports were providing as discriminating in favor of #Muslims, this newest saga is actually part of a much broader pattern of state officials targeting Muslims & trying to make #Texas an inhospitable place for them.”

  7. Later that day, #DFW announced it had scrapped plans to add additional washing stations in men’s & women’s restrooms that are available to passersby outside the security perimeter.
    
Airport spox Heath Montgomery wrote in an email that ofcls “determined the originally anticipated benefit may not be achieved” if the stations were built.

  8. …Public #wudu stations are also open at places including the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan, LaGuardia Airport in New York & O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

    Now, amid rising attacks on #Muslims by #Republican elected officials, #Texas Gov #GregAbbott is making the stations a target.

  10. [Veille 📣] Police called on trans men using women's restroom as required by Kansas law - MR Online
    mronline.org/2026/08/17/police

    Dans les WC, les femmes trans seraient une menace pour les femmes cis. Du coup les autorités du Kansas mettent en place une loi qui force les personnes trans à utiliser les WC en adéquation avec leurs organes génitaux. Et donc les femmes cis se retrouvent dans les WC avec des hommes…

    Qui aurait pu prédire que c’est ce qui arriverait avec cette loi ? (Probablement toutes les personnes trans, et toutes les personnes avec 3 neurones fonctionnels)

    Maintenant, que va proposer le Kansas, des WC spéciaux pour les personnes trans ? Interdire les personnes trans ?

  12. I'm always fascinated by the line "we don't want to become minorities in our own country". Why not? Are they treated badly or something?

  16. Even before #Trump was elected for the second time, more than half the states had considered or passed #legislation limiting the rights of #trans people. The process has intensified in the last year & a half, & the law enacted in #Kansas in February is one of the most restrictive pieces of anti-trans legislation passed in any state so far.

    What’s Happening in #Kansas Should Alarm Us All

    #Fascism usually begins with redefining the nation by excluding certain groups, which are branded threats to national health & unity. The #Trump admin has fixated on two groups most of all — #immigrants & #trans people — in just this way, smearing [them]… as predatory, sick, at once subhuman & terrifyingly powerful.
