'The September 22nd article is not newsworthy, except in the context of the upcoming midterm elections in which transgender rights are a central political issue'
“The September 22nd article is not newsworthy, except in the context of the upcoming midterm elections in which transgender rights are a central political issue”about a lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, that is imploding due to its decision to relax a mask mandate for one night a week in an effort to bring in new customers.
Massachusetts Communist Party chapter attacks Boston Globe over lesbian bar story A Massachusetts chapter of the Communist Party took aim at The Boston Globe on Thursday over its reporting on a lesbian bar that has been criticized for lifting its mask mandate for just one night a week. The Boston Globe published an article about Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, that sparked community backlash after it announced it would be making Saturdays mask-optional.
The community responded with accusations of ableism and some even called for a boycott of the business. The Western Massachusetts CPUSA posted a statement on X and on its website calling for solidarity with “the queer and transgender people of our region facing heightened national scrutiny. ” On X, the graphic that included the statement suggested the Globe was part of “MAGA Media,” saying, “The Boston Globe, an ally of corporate lobbies across the state, stands on the other side.
After endorsing notoriously transphobic Rep. Seth Moulton’s failed Senate campaign, the Globe has pivoted to courting the outrage of the national extreme right and directing it at our region. ”The Western Massachusetts club of the Communist Party USA strongly condemns the Boston Globe for its September 22nd publication of an article targeting Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, and calls for solidarity with the queer and transgender people of our region facing heightened national scrutiny.
The fascist Trump administration and Republican state governments have instigated a genocide of LGBTQIA+ people. Under far-right rule, transgender people have been denied healthcare, subjected to terrorism, wrongful imprisonment, torture, sexual violence, voiding of legal documents and countless other crimes against humanity… The September 22nd article is not newsworthy, except in the context of the upcoming midterm elections in which transgender rights are a central political issue, as well as a far-right national consumer base which makes the scrutiny of transgender lives profitable.
In Trump’s America, violence against transgender people isn’t going up — it’s going down Advocates for Trans Equality claimed in its 2025 report on such killings that “right-wing extremists are endangering our democracy and our very right to exist. Trans people — especially Black trans women — continue to bear the brunt of discriminatory policies, political scapegoating, and violence. These forces are interconnected and deadly.
” But despite a hostile Trump administration and a barrage of anti-trans legislation across the country, the number of violent deaths the group documents has fallen nearly 50 percent from 53 in 2023 to 27 in 2025.
“Decision to relax a mask mandate for one night a week in an effort to bring in new customers”The narcissistic, misogynist, child/teen-grooming/abusing/manipulating trannies love attention, except when that attention puts them in a fairly negative and critical light, as the malicious and malignant lunatics that they are.
