I think it’s even worse than that. If they somehow succeeded at completely forcing trans folks out of public life, they’d move on to some other group. Because ultimately they don’t really care about trans people that much either. They just care about having an Other to demonize.

“ … Trump is waging a war on every day Americans, giving him and his wealthy friends more while we all get far, far less; that he is illegally lining his pockets, grabbing $400m planes, throwing himself a $100m parade on our dime while the rest of us get 2 dolls and 5 pencils …”

The media frenzy on this topic & this book, while the unprecedented corruption & fascism are happening right in front of us, is obscene. And this right here is ridiculous, not least because these media outlets are not demanding this of the GOP after thrice nominating a criminal fascist. Happy week.

The Administration has arrested a judge in WI and a mayor in NJ, and is threatening to arrest federal lawmakers. In any other country we would say the strongman's security forces are locking up political opponents. We need to treat it exactly that way here. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

This fanatic is openly talking about fabricating a reason to suspend everyone's constitutional right to due process — and Trump has given him free rein. Is there NO Republican in D.C. who will stand up to these constitutional arsonists?

Federal agents' seemingly universal adoption of neck gaiters worn just below the eyes like they're robbing the railroad is emblematic of this time in the US

What we're seeing is an all fronts war on objective knowledge. This administration is trying to warp reality to fit with their ideological priors, and this requires purging anyone or anything that produces contradictory facts: researchers, scientists, data collection, universities, etc. 1/x

Suspending habeas corpus is the invasion of fascists. The only invasion happening here. The only reason for the suspension. And ICE are the brownshirts.

The government of the most powerful nation in human history is in the hands of people who openly align with Germany’s Neo-Nazi party. Let’s dwell on this for a little bit. I hope we don’t have become too cynical or numb to acknowledge how outrageous this is.

We made a deliberate choice as a nation, until now, not to have a police state. We siloed off federal data and put in place laws, regulations, policies and internal norms to prevent the federal government from putting together everything it knows about you into one place. Trump is ending all that.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.
