this is extremely fucking important, esp with what just happened in kansas. they are trying to criminalize every aspect of our existence. i try not to be alarmist about things but this is where we are and it is BAD bad

This is very bad. GOP is trying to criminalize our rights as trans people. Kansas was just the start.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a β€œweapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

A racist tweet by Elon Musk:
For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone!" American culture, with its English-Scootts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that's why people come here.

My English-Scots-Irish ancestors didn't die for multiculturalism; they killed for it. Killed Confederates who said shit exactly like this.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

Omg! Local San Antonio news is at a protest in Dilley, Texas at the Family Prison where Liam Ramos is being held.

Y'all I'm crying so hard. These young people are so brave. I'm guessing most are from San Antonio.

Absolutely clear video proof that the cops were the only violent actors here.
