What the fuck does gay, straight, or being effeminate have anything to do with the ability to do your job? Absolutely nothing. But in the theater of Texas politics, the GOP has weaponized traditional masculinity, relying on a rigid "alpha male" …🧵1/3

Every so often, someone feels this burning need to "explain" homosexuality. Honestly? As a gay man, let me save you the time: nobody cares.

That was one of the most embarrassing and unhinged interviews I’ve ever seen—even by Trump's standards. But here is the real issue: even when the interview completely derailed, his ability to hijack the narrative, attack the media, and push election lies is terrifying.

The most revealing part is the ‘WE should have never tolerated it.’
Tolerated what exactly? Gay people existing openly? Americans acknowledging their LGBTQ family, friends, coworkers, children, veterans, neighbors, and spouses?

The timing of the global Ebola surge right as the US prepares for massive crowds for the Olympics & World Cup is a serious reminder of how interconnected we are. Mass gatherings present massive logistical challenges. US Health authorities need to be on absolute high alert. ‼️

The irony of the term "RINO" is that it's rarely used to debate actual policy anymore. Instead, it’s a go-to purity test and euphemism used to purge anyone who disagrees with the party's current identity crisis. Loyalty to an individual has replaced loyalty to principles.

This administration has weaponized USAID, transforming a critical humanitarian agency into a political tool while simultaneously using it as a convenient scapegoat for broader foreign policy failures.

By hollowly blaming and crippling the very agency designed to spearhead frontline disease surveillance and pandemic defense, the administration leaves the world dangerously exposed—especially with highly mobile crowds on the horizon for the upcoming World Cup and Olympics.

In our hyper-connected global economy, these mega-events underscore the terrifying reality that we are always just one plane ride away from an imported outbreak accelerating into the next global pandemic.

The official U.S. withdrawal from the WHO and the dismantling of USAID severely handicap both domestic and global responses to the newly declared Ebola emergency in Congo and Uganda.

For the world, this leadership and funding void fractures multilateral coordination and slows down the distribution of critical countermeasures, escalating the risk that a localized outbreak spills across borders.

For the U.S., isolating itself from global data-sharing systems compromises its own biosecurity, leaving it vulnerable to undetected transnational health threats reaching American shores.
Or perhaps I’m totally incorrect.
