SEX AT CONCEPTION!?! @fafsagov.bsky.social this question is stupid & medically inaccurate. Even tho Republicans deem Blastocysts (a clump of cells) more worthy of humanity than living children, they don't have a sex. This is "research" to put more people in concentration camps. #fafsa #fascism

Although our community members at risk of deportation are by all means amazing people and comrades, we should not advance a political line that relies on the innocence or individual character of people who are targeted. We must protect all of our neighbors from criminalization and deportation.
