This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

West Point orders certain student groups to disband in compliance with Trump EO. The list includes Asian-Pacific Forum, National Society of Black Engineers, Native American Heritage Forum, and Society of Women Engineers. Reporters covering mil, defense, natsec beats... seems like a big deal.

They are too slow to realize what is happening and still think that the sort of political grandstanding that would have cowed other administrations will still work. Trump doesn’t care what you or your constituents think. You needed to stop him before he got elected.

This would be the you can’t be transgender in public ban. It would effectively turn all transgender people into criminals unless they stay home. This is by design.

Pretty sure this violates 60 years of aggregated regulations that cannot be simply wiped out by presidential fiat.

Straight up firing everyone in the tainted division then asking the rest to rat in each other or risk being fired, is straight from the Nazi/KGB playbooks.

This Executive Order will erase transgender and intersex people. It is the first step in getting rid of us. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is how you lose a democracy

'How did this happen?' asks The Times, which has run thousands of pieces inciting hatred of trans people.

I wrote about Neil Gaiman, and the women accusing him of sexual coercion, assault and abuse. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

Incredible reporting and writing from Lila, who is a treasure of American journalism 🔥

During the Holocaust, the Nazis and their collaborators paid bounties for every Jew they turned in. academic.oup.com/ehr/article-...

Of course they are doing that. That is the whole usefulness of bitcoin. To evade our financial systems nd the controls in them

The only plus side is she has been an Attorney General. Thing is she is a right wing loon that will do whatever Trump wants. She is a true believer.

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

to all the commenters saying "bigots don't read" or "won't read" this, I didn't fucking write this to convince bigots! I wrote it for the countless trans-unaware ppl who are constantly bombarded with these anti-trans talking points to convince *them* that this is a moral panic & not based in reality

H5N1 shows the 1918 flu's PB2 E627K mutation and D190E, which shifts the virus to human receptors. These mutations increase human infection risk, and with recent mammalian outbreaks, raise concerns about potential human-to-human spread.

Today, Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to the House rules package that would ban trans women from using women's restrooms in the U.S. Capitol. This is being done as Sarah McBride is set to become the first openly-trans Member of Congress. It remains very unclear how this rule would be enforced.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

This may seem hypocritical, due to the fact that I plan to leave the country, but I do agree that we need still expect the laws to be enforced and call it out when it isn’t. Obeying in advance only emboldens the authoritarian. Sadly, being transgender I feel I can’t afford to risk staying.

These threads touch on Trump's multi-generational cycling down of his father Fred's disorders......and how that affects Trump's affinity for Putin/dictators. 1/ www.patreon.com/posts/30865781

Every time someone complains that protests only hurt the protesters, I can’t help but think about this. Back then they were all sure the movement was counter productive. Now it’s obvious that it was the only way it was going to change
