What would've been the rating of what the Nazis did to Jews in early 1933? Revoking of civil rights protections, elimination from civil service, and policies singling them out for discrimination despite being 1% of the population. Inconsequential as well?

…then you should know that that is exactly the situation people faced in relation to the Jews, and how you are acting now in relation to trans people is how you would have acted then. You are the silent passer-by, or the jeering face in the crowd. 3/n

If you can witness the systematic demonisation of and removal of civil liberties from trans people - on the explicit basis that they should not exist - and be indifferent to it, or, worse, feel it’s justified by of ‘legitimate concerns’… 2/n

It’s been pointed out (many times) that how people are behaving in the USA right now tells you how they might have behaved in 1930s Germany. But this is specifically relevant in terms of attitudes to trans people (vs, historically, Jews). 1/n

Great op piece in The Metro on why working for JKR or buying any Harry Potter stuff is bad news. I believe Jo is - along with the Religious Right - the biggest financial funder of trans hate in the UK. Much more than the one instance of £70k mentioned. Billionaire dictating legislation and policy

Poland experts release clinical guidance on trans youth healthcare. They define the Cass Review as of "low scientific value and credibility". journals.viamedica.pl/endokrynolog...

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

They want you frightened. Be bold. They want you bewildered. See clearly. They want you desperate. Remain hopeful. They want you miserable. Pursue happiness. They want you quiet. Speak up. They want you alone. Stand together. We can win. We must win. We will win.

Labour member complains about incidents of transphobia. @UKLabour reply saying complaints about transphobia are SPECIFICALLY not recognised. What a joke party they have become. Stay away from Pride and spare us any of your Pink Washing pronoucements 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

WWJD? He'd smite them.

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

Texas is just one state. Maternal health experts are concerned similar, horrific outcomes are happening in all states where abortion is banned. www.jezebel.com/sepsis-and-m...

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

The US kakistocracy now being referred to as The Turd Reich. Is it juvenile, and rather obvious? Yes. Is it how I will exclusively be referring to them from now on? Also yes. #TurdReich

Over 2,000 webpages containing LGBTQ+ information have been removed from federal government websites.

There are parallels here to how the Reagan Administration stacked the CDC and NIH with homophobes during the AIDS crisis. A deliberate effort to suppress effective medical information/care while promoting ideologically-driven pseudoscience. And adult gender care is next. Make no mistake.

Liberal society — free people, individual rights, government by the consent of the governed, equality under the law, free markets, peace, and prosperity — is an accomplishment. It can be lost. Serious people do not take it for granted.

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."

They really are.

We’re going to see any expression of virtue in the face of vice depicted by legacy media as a vicious attack on an innocent victim

22 January 1925 | Dutch Jewish girl, Frieda Henriette Citroen, was born in Amsterdam. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Westerbork oin September 1942. She did not survive.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)
