Analyzed 30 years of UK trans media coverage across 12,000+ articles. Found coverage exploded after 2016, with public support dropping 18% as stories shifted from rights-based to threat-based narratives. Shows manufactured controversy, not grassroots concern.

"Rubber bullet" is a deliberately deceptive term. These are not some sort of Nerf projectile. They're rigid metal cylinders with a rubber coating. They're fired at 140 mph. Note that people may volunteer to be tazed but they never volunteer to be hit with a semi-lethal rubber bullet!

The United States has 4% of the world's population and 22% of the world's prisoners, including the most nonviolent incarcerated people in the world and over 100,000 people incarcerated for more than a year having never been convicted of anything.

This cycle will continue until either it kills us or we abolish the private accumulation of capital.

JD if you’re reading this i think you should side with the tech losers because they’d only defenestrate you if you chose wrong, whereas the other guys will nail you upside down to a cross and do an ISIS-style beheading for their shitty praise band music video
