Ew. Well, fuck them, then.

An email address you can use to contact RAINN and tell them what you think about them betraying their mission like this.

Wooooowwww.

Even worse, then.

Every day a fresh level of hell

And in the end it won't even work. The thing that MAGA objects to isn't actually queer folks and immigrants, it's helping sexual abuse survivors. The cruelty is the point, always.

No I assure you they very definitely also object to queer people and immigrants

embracebecoming.bsky.social•6 days ago

Oh they definitely do, but that's not why they're going after these groups.

sasuga.bsky.social•6 days ago

No, they do actually object to queer and immigrant people too

embracebecoming.bsky.social•6 days ago

They do, what I mean is that throwing those groups under the bus will not save these groups because MAGA Fascists love rape, and the fact that they attempt to help victims of sexual abuse is sufficient to put them in the crosshairs even aside from the bigotry.

Thanks for the clarification, it’s hard to tell if someone means it in the reasonable way you did, or the dismissive “this marginalized group’s rights are just a distraction from REAL issues!” way 😅

Not totallysurprised. Rainn is one of those organizations i don't really care for because they're against sex work. And as someone that supports sex work and sex workers (and a stubborn autistic person) I'm unwilling to violate my morals

Absolutely depraved

May they collapse like a souffle in the oven. Excluding these groups no matter your reasoning is nuts. Close up shop now.
