Previously: Politicians, especially those who grew up in the digital age, have repeatedly learned the hard lesson that you can never truly delete anything from the web.
Take, for instance, Nate Schatzline. https://www.texasobserver.org/nate-schatzline-drag-lege-2025/
Schatzline dismissed the video as a joke and said his performance was clearly not a “sexually explicit drag show.” (Anyone who has seen a drag show would agree: He’d probably get booed off the stage if he performed in that outfit.) https://www.texasobserver.org/nate-schatzline-drag-lege-2025/

Omg so someone wrote a musical about bigots trying to cancel Drag Queen Story Hour, and it's debuting in Glens Falls NY! On June 6. On account of the story is about the Rockwell Falls Public Library in Lake Luzerne, NY, and will star Scarlett Sagamore, the original cancelled drag queen. I think this is a great way to deal with the confusion and trauma of such a series of events.
Indeed, they're still casting so spread the word, thespians!

" #ElonMusk... speaking at Trump’s first cabinet meeting even though he is not a member of the #cabinet. In fact, the #Trump administration’s latest tale is that #Musk doesn’t even head #Doge rather the boss is someone named “Amy Gleason”—which we must assume is simply Musk’s #drag queen name."

"Beyond the glitter and glam, drag has emerged as a critical tool for activism and social change in the Philippines, providing a voice for the LGBTQIA+ community as well as for more universal social and political concerns. Drag, in this context, is political, because it challenges old norms on gender, it suffers from discrimination, and it combats systemic injustice." #drag #Philippines #tootSEA

The #ProudBoys Are Plotting a Comeback. And They Want Revenge
Fresh out of federal prison, former Proud Boys leader #EnriqueTarrio suggests he’s still in charge as the #FarRight organization looks to regroup.

Excerpt: "'The Proud Boys are not terrorist masterminds. These are not the brightest #neofascists out there,' said Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism. 'But they are committed to the cause. They are single-minded in this mission now: for revenge, for retribution. And as we’ve seen before, they are willing to go across state lines and use violence in furtherance of their goals.'
"An analysis of Proud Boys’ social media channels by the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism identified a surge in online activity following the January 6 pardons, including discussions of ramping up real-world activism to help further the Trump administration's agenda. 'Posts from Proud Boys groups reveal an emboldened network, with members fantasizing about mass deportation schemes and threatening to escalate their attacks during #PrideMonth,' the GPAHE said in a statement. 'These developments point to a broader alignment between extremist groups and the Trump regime, raising urgent concerns about public safety and the normalization of far-right violence.' A North Carolina chapter, via its Telegram channel, proposed carrying out 'bount[ies on illegals.' A chapter in upstate New York gleefully circulated a rumor that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was offering $750 rewards to turn in undocumented #immigrants.
"In the years since the Capitol riot, as dozens of Proud Boy members and leaders copped charges for the insurrection, the group became increasingly elusive and unpredictable. They pivoted away from large-scale public demonstrations—which would often involve 100 or so Proud Boys descending on a city, clad in yellow and black, reeking of beer, looking for media attention and fights—and instead embedded themselves into hyperlocal culture wars across the country, in many cases aligning themselves with #ChristianNationalists. They started showing up to small protests against vaccines, crashed school board meetings, and intimidated attendees at #drag brunches. For the most part, they stayed away from cities or towns where they were likely to encounter opposition.
"Though they mobilized in a few instances in support of Trump ahead of the 2024 election, it was, overall, fairly lackluster, especially compared to 2020. This drove speculation that the gang was on its last legs.
"Then, on Monday, as Trump was taking the oath of office, more than 100 uniformed Proud Boys marched through the streets of Washington, DC, led by their south-Florida chapter.
"It was a striking scene—one that seemed intended to send a clear message: 'We’re back.'"

There's something incredibly healing about watching a bunch of fabulous drag queens, and more than half of them POC to boot, having fun and playing some DnD, led by Brennan Lee Mulligan in sparkly makeup. If you've ever thought about watching Dimension 20, now is a good a time. The Dropout sub comes with a ton of other shows with people of all sizes, colours, genders and persuasions, too, but there's also this: Dungeons and Drag Queens! Season two no less!
Next up on why The Pink and Black Album is the best: RuPaul's Frack Race
https://dogparkdissidents.bandcamp.com/track/rupauls-frack-race-2
They use melodies associated with music used in drag shows, voiceovers and lyrics that satirize how things are said on RuPaul's Drag Race, and is unforgiving in its lyrics.
"She saw Paris is Burning, and she thought,
Why not the rest of the world?
...
Don't walk the trail that she blazed,
She’ll scorch the earth in her wake,
And bring 450ppm of CO₂ the runway"
Not only are they calling out Ru's greed, but also how she has commodified gay culture and is not just pulling up the ladder behind her, but burning it all down.
"Took your culture and she made it her brand.
That's how you play, it's just the law of the land.
But it was not enough for she
To make it a commodity,
To turn your queerness into business"
The RuPaul-Industrial complex as warped drag and queer culture, and as actually undercut the ability for actual drag courts and communities to sustain themselves unless they play by her rules. She is exploiting us.
She has chosen to be part of the bourgeoisie rather than part of our community. Don't forget.
"Yas queen, sashay to the guillotine
Bring it to the guillotine"
