The right wing attack on transgender people was already evil, but the attack on transgender members of the military is INSANE. It's never been about a random NCAA swimming meet or anyone getting cancelled over a slip of the tongue on pronouns. It's about good old fashioned HATE.

I am guilty of this so I’m not casting blame on anyone else or saying you shouldn’t make these posts because we all need to vent but it is very demoralizing when people just post stuff like “we’re fucked”, it just wears you down in addition to all the other stuff wearing you down.

Hi, it's me again. THIS IS A COUP. AN ACTUAL COUP. Not a drill, not a test, just a COUP. We are experiencing a coup in the United States, and the fact that we're not acting like that's an emergency is a problem. IT IS DAY 38 OF THIS COUP.

This is the goal right? It’s to delegitimize and defang courts and destroy government services so that every aspect of American life has to be approved by rich guys on their whims. What they’re doing to government employees right now is what they want to do to all of us.
