Would you trust the excuses ICE provides to detain someone?

Do not rely on your whiteness or port of entry to give you a false sense of security. Currently a German citizen apprehended in CA and a British citizen apprehended in WA are both being held indefinitely.

Well, I guess this is just the start

Even independent LGBT orgs have immediately given up on supporting trans people, just from the threat of the loss of federal funding. It’s sickening

I think people have given up on the idea that there will ever be any sort of health care reform (even though we did see prices frozen on some drugs last administration) and through the clearest sense of Americanism, guns and violence have become the only answer

Also hi Flying Squid, hope you’re doing well <3

Cool I sure wish my rights weren’t being taken away

You think the supreme court won’t side with whatever schlock trump puts out? You should listen to a few of their hearings. The ones on free speech and transgender issues are specifically telling.

They’ve already passed a genital inspection law for kids sports in Ohio.

It’s cool and all to dunk on their logical fallacies, but don’t think for one second that their poor wording will stop them from enacting untold violence against trans people.

With allies like these on Lemmy who the fuck needs enemies. So anytime we want to throw trans people under the bus just add it to a funding bill? Would y’all be singing the same tune if these provisions targeted gay people? Black? Jewish? At what point does an anti trans law cross the line for y’all? How many rights do we have to lose before you’ll speak up?

They literally did lose the war on gay acceptance. It became politically infeasible for conservatives to run on anti-gay platforms. That’s the entire reason they switched all of their efforts towards trans people.

Now, do they plan to come after gay people once they’ve annihilated trans people? Absolutely. There is no chance they have forgotten about them as their ideology does not allow minorities to exist as equals and they are 100% using trans people as their foot in the door to eventually come after everyone else.

If we’re being real here the reason is because they lost the war on gay acceptance and needed a new target to direct their hate towards.

For context, by this time last year there were 80 anti-trans bills filed. The total of anti-trans bills filed for all of 2024 was 669. In 2023 the total anti trans bills filed was 615 and in 2022 the total was 174.

Think about where this is heading and do anything in your power to stop it now before it’s too late.

They could save this but not stop the first national anti LGBT legislation in thirty years that’s cool
