No idea whether Rufo is right about what Tulsi Gabbard will do but worth noting that she has a history of anti-LGBTQ views

Reposted from Alejandra Caraballo

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it.

This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

UPDATE: Tulsi Gabbard confirms Chris Rufo’s tweet. Lots of ambiguity about who “they” are — all participants in these chat rooms? just those who said inappropriate things? what exactly is inappropriate? — and what “action” will be taken.

Looking at the reports of what some of this content covered, it appears that this action targeted the trans community. I am wondering what they were discussing that Gabbard thinks violated policy about using department resources. Does anyone have any insight? What is so egregious? Hair removal tips?

SECOND UPDATE: “Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, said on Tuesday that more than 100 intelligence officers from 15 agencies had been fired for sexually explicit discussions on a government chat tool.”

This sounds like an employment discrimination attorney’s dream.

catladybel.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Under any other administration, yes. This one is actively making such discriminatory practices legal again.

Let's remember that, apart from being an Assadist traitor, Tulsi grew up in an obsessively homophobic cult, and retains much of their bigotry, even as she tried to sweep it under the rug to get elected as a progressive Dem. She's really found her niche in the Trump admin, I'll give her that.

The part about discussion of gender transition looks suspicious. A big part of their agenda, for which they'll take any excuse they can use, is to designate transgender people as fair game while erasing/censoring the facts about them.

Rufo posted screenshots of two trans women talking frankly but blandly about bottom surgery. Not shit I'd put in any work gc, but also decidedly not "pornographic fetishism" or whatever he called it.

Reminds me of a time when those agencies were full of "communists".

Will they be shot with the butthole lazers?

esqueer.net•15 hours ago

Yes, all participants. Which is effectively a purge of LGBTQ and primarily trans staff.

Because you want your Dir. of National Intelligence posting their actions on social media. This entire cabinet and administration has zero professionalism or understanding of the job - just purely performative.

It’s gonna be gop pigs

Cool, Trump and Musk getting fired.

irvineghost20.bsky.social•14 hours ago

This feels extremely out of Russia's playbook FWIW. Over there, lots of Kremlin-connected officials constantly accusing random political opponents of being perverts or using pervert-related language to destroy the people they're smearing https://www.voanews.com/a/europe_why-kremlin-tagging-protesters-political-pedophiles/6201377.html

How does Rufo have clearance to transcripts from a chat system administered by the NSA?

catladybel.bsky.social•3 hours ago

While Epstein’s list just continue on with their lives, uninterrupted. Their goal isn’t sexual predators, or they would have to go after the sitting president.

Her cult has an outspoken anti-homosexual position as did her father when he was a politician

terryogara.bsky.social•15 hours ago

One might think that NSA employees might also have some tangible evidence about something or other with which to rebuff the United States Director of National Intelligence.

eleighbutler.bsky.social•53 minutes ago

Can Gabbard - or Rufo, for that matter - explain how the chats made security weaker?

When homosexuality was illegal, it was a lever hostile forces used for blackmail. When it's legal, they can't.

Not that I expect any of these idiots to read history, but it's worth mentioning.

While ignoring the serial sexual assaulter in chief.

espressodoppio6.bsky.social•14 hours ago

So RUFO is weird and obsessed with naughty stuff Dems are supposedly doing. Has he looked at the GOP lately? Also, does he make his living doing this? It seems perverse…

literally a family and cult history of it, sadly.

Congratulations to all the log cabin Republicans out there.

Her hatred of LGBTQ is why tankies love her so much. They salivate when they see a boot on a queer person's neck.

gevarticus.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I'd think this would be a pretty straightforward Bostock violation.
