Breitshart flips. his. shit. at Occupy protestors outside the right-wing CPAC conference:
Holy hell, does that call for a remix. Many remixes.
CPAC, by the way, is notable for how its speakers and attendees aren't even bothering with dogwhistles anymore.
Trigger warnings for the next three stories:
Some 200 priests suspected of sexual abuse are living undetected across the state of California, according to an attorney who represents hundreds of victims. "Many if not all these priests have admitted to sexual abuse," but because none has actually been convicted, they cannot be identified publicly.
A Minnesota prosecutor is railroading a trans woman of color who stood up to a bunch of homophobic/transphobic white supremacists and defended herself and her friends. One of the neo-Nazis died in the fight.

ginasketch: A British website for “university lads” is shut down after a "satirical" pro-rape article.
Also from Gina:
CNN gives fundie shitbag Kenneth Hutcherson a platform to tell its readers that gawd “will kill” GLBT people who do not “repent.”
A comment from a FireDogLake diary about the current debate over health insurance covering contraception:I don’t know about elsewhere but around the Philly metro area everywhere you look there’s a big new shiny Catholic church with all the bells and whistles imaginable. I don’t know whether or not they are filling the pews but I think the archdiocese is sinking whatever cash they have into the ground so that they won’t lose it in abuse lawsuits.
[Cardinal Anthony J.] Bevilacqua died 2 weeks ago one day after a judge said he’d have to testify in the trial of one of his guys who covered up abuse by moving predatory priests around. It took until yesterday for someone to talk about investigating the “timely” death of the cardinal.
That last one might sound like tinfoil, but consider the case of John Paul I.
Anatomy of an Unsafe Abortion. Expect this to happen more and more often.
An illustration of "the transgender umbrella":
Via Natalie Reed, who writes,Transsexual is a specific subset of transgenderism… specifically, it applies to those transgender people who permanently transition, typically including medical treatment. The main clue, and a helpful means of remembering, is the distinction between gender and sex… a transsexual person, unlike other people who are transgender, actually adapts or seeks to adapt their sex so as to bring it more in alignment with their gender. Transgender is anyone who has a gender that transgresses cultural norms.
And finally, Romney now takes its place as a term alongside "Santorum."
Unlocked.
