Boston Pride, the organization that has organized the city’s Pride celebrations for 50 years, has announced it is shutting down.
The dissolution, announced Friday afternoon in a statement on the group’s website, comes after the reportedly all-white board of directors has faced ongoing accusations of ignoring racial minorities and transgender people.

An Austin congressional candidate said she was assaulted on Sunday by a member of a self-described Maoist group that calls for boycotting elections and for “revolutionary change.”
Heidi Sloan, running for the Democratic nomination for the 25th Congressional District, which includes parts of Austin and western Travis County, wrote on Facebook that a member of a group called the Red Guards Austin shoved her and smashed eggs filled with red paint on her head and on her car after a political canvassing effort in East Austin.

Callout culture. The quest for purity. Privilege theory taken to extremes. I’ve observed some of these questionable patterns in my activist communities over the past several years.

A pair of LGBT pride organizers were publicly shamed by Seattle officials after complaining that an event seeking to charge white people $50 'reparations' to attend was reverse racism.
Philip Lipson and Charlette LeFevre were slammed and publicly shamed by Seattle's Human Rights Commission which shared their complaint, complete with their unobscured phone number, as well as the Commission's response on Twitter.
The event which triggered the complaint, Taking B[l]ack Pride, is free, but organizers have told 'white allies and accomplices' they 'will be charged a $10 to $50 reparations fee that will be used to keep this event free of cost for Black and brown trans and queer community.'

Antifa protesters in Boston accidentally turned on one another over the weekend, when one protester attacked a man simply because he looked like he could be a Nazi...
The Boston protester was hardly the first to be mistakenly identified as a member of the alt-right. An innocent Arkansas engineer was falsely accused of being a Nazi following the Charlottesville, Va. rally earlier this month and became a target of doxxing and online harassment.
Earlier in the year, a University of California, Berkeley student wrote in the New York Times that they witnessed a left-wing protester attacking a man in a suit, assuming he was a supporter of alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. In reality, the victim was a Syrian Muslim.

Groundbreaking for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago will be delayed until next year because of a delay in the federal review process.
Construction on former President Barack Obama’s center was to start this year. However, the Obama Foundation says it now plans to break ground for the half-billion-dollar project sometime in 2019.
Before the presidential center can be built, the federal government will review its impact on Jackson Park. The park on the city’s South Side is on the National Register of Historic Places. The project’s environmental effects will also be analyzed. Any adverse effects must be resolved before construction is allowed.

Left-wing writers are taking the victim narrative to a new level this week, decrying “straight black men” as the “white people of black people.”
In a column for The Root's “Very Smart Brothas,” writer Damon Young accused straight black men of having the “type of privilege created for and protected by whiteness.” Black men, while victims of the white man's oppressiveness, are the oppressors of the nonheterosexual/male black person.

The College Democrats of America — the Democratic Party’s national organization presiding over 500 chapters on campuses across the country — is in turmoil.
The group’s leaders are publicly firing off accusations of anti-Blackness, Islamaphobia and anti-Semitism at each other.

Arizona Democratic gubernatorial candidate Fred DuVal dropped the endorsement of a gay Democratic group after one of DuVal’s close supporters used the “C word” to describe a female Democratic lawmaker.
Robert Rowley, leader of the LGBT-oriented Democratic political organization Stonewall Democrats, recently wrote “Cunt” underneath a Facebook photo of Arizona state Rep. Catherine Miranda.

Secretly recorded audio of Clinton speaking at a private, February fundraiser was released late Friday night. In it, Clinton can be heard referring to Sanders’ “lost generation”, as she called them.
“Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement,” she told her audience.
There has been much animosity between these groups with the radicals accusing the liberals of being half-measure sell-outs and the liberals accusing the radicals of being delusional Utopians.

A class action lawsuit alleging the Democratic National Committee worked in conjunction with Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign to keep Bernie Sanders out of the White House has been raging on in the courtrooms for months on end...
Jared Beck, a Harvard Law graduate and one of the several attorneys who filed the suit against the DNC and its former chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz, wants retribution for donations made by supporters to the Vermont senator's campaign, citing six legal claims of the DNC’s deceptive conduct, negligent misrepresentation and fraud. The DNC violated Article 5, Section 4 of its own charter by working with a single campaign to effectively choose who would win the Democratic ballot, the attorneys stated in the suit.

Parkasa, a hard-line Muslim group in Malaysia that touts around 700,000 members, is joining another Muslim group in Indonesia, Muhammadiyah, in calling for the boycott of Starbucks.
Almost 30 million people belong to Muhammadiyah, the second-largest mainstream Muslim organization in Indonesia. They have denounced the popular coffee chain over the company’s former chief executive’s past praise for the gay community. Both organizations want Starbucks’ operating license to be revoked because the stance goes against Islamic teachings.
A university cancelled a seminar by a feminist speaker, citing “academic freedom”, following threats of protest from transgender activists...
Prof Stock, who has been labelled a “Terf” by transgender activists, said she has been effective “no-platformed” by the university.
Terf, which stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists, is generally used as a derogatory term to describe those who believe that “identifying” as a woman is not the same as being born a woman.

I drive food delivery for an online app to make rent and support myself and my young family. This is my new life.
I once had a well paid job in what might be described as the social justice industry. Then I upset the wrong person, and within a short window of time, I was considered too toxic for my employer’s taste. I was publicly shamed, mobbed, and reduced to a symbol of male privilege. I was cast out of my career and my professional community.
Writing anything under my own byline now would invite a renewal of this mobbing—which is why, with my editor’s permission, I am writing this under a pseudonym.

If your attacker is determined to repeatedly shoot himself in the foot and can’t seem to aim anywhere else, let him keep on firing.
The 21st-century progressive Democrats are willing to point their ideological death cannons at anyone, even some of their own. Again, it’s a never-ending joy to watch them tear each other apart.
