The white folks in the replies trying to insist OP is wrong is exactly why y’all should stop talking about woke. You don’t know what it means. And when someone Black tries to tell you what it means, he’s accused of mansplaining a lifelong activist. Just absolute shit.

I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just totally miss that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes worldwide because of USGS.

“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.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.
