Echoing points made by others today, in a country where getting an abortion or gender affirming care or protesting a genocide can be felonies, I am going to need everyone to stop talking about "the rule of law" and "innocent people" and "criminal records."

80% of all US adolescent mastectomies were done on CIS children, mostly boys who had developed breasts.
Ask the 31% of congressmen who are lawyers and the 51% of senators who are lawyers - they don’t uphold it, spend their careers trying to get around it and blatantly ignore it.
You're not better than someone with a record. You're just luckier.
It's always been a lie. If you buy into it, you are a part of it. "Criminality" means nothing.
Trump and his cronies almost all have criminal records despite poverty, race, and gender identity not being an explanation. Some people are sociopaths.
But I agree luck in birth and environment are far more significant factors than people give credit for.
Most hardly had any consequences despite repeated, open, blatant violations of the law.
You can't work at McD's with a criminal record.

MAGA rallies are packed with bullies with criminal records who are non-impoverished white cishet - thus poverty, race, and gender identity don't tell the usual story?
I just can't with the USA anymore dude. One of the things I've accepted about myself is that one of the things I hate the most is not knowing. And the fact that I DON'T KNOW what an increasingly unstable powerful nation in my backyard is gonna do terrifies me. Cant imagine how you are rn
The "rules based international order" has always been a two tiered system.
The notion of a singular international agreed notion of law is as comical as the claim that just because every un member is a party to UNCRC they actually don't abuse children.
