“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

It's an open secret of the far-right in the West: if one gets rid of the anti-Semitic part and makes supportive noises towards Israel, the level of resistance one faces drops significantly. This isn't a conspiracy, just traditional divide-and-rule. The other open secret is support from Russia.

One of the defining features of our current moment of lumpenfascism is a preoccupation with symbols of strength, power, or prestige, while being totally uninterested, or even actively opposed to learning about, the actual reasons why those symbols came to be in the first place.
