Everyone realizes they’re trying to shift the Overton Window, right?
They’re conditioning you to be accepting of the insane shit they’re doing now so you’ll accept the more insane shit they do later.

A lot of people ask me "how is this legal?" Most of it isn’t!
Laws are the rules we agree to follow as a society to avoid leadership through physical force. If the leaders ignore the laws and no one stops them, then the rule of law isn’t. Power is all that's left. That's why this must be stopped.

That's the thing - there are, in fact, laws against most (if not all) of this. The law is not, however, a force field that prevents people from doing illegal things.
Illegal =/= can't be done
Illegal = not permitted
Illegal =/= can't be done
Illegal = not permitted

Video clip of hundreds of folks leaving protest at DC Children's National Hospital earlier today.
This past week the hospital abruptly stopped providing gender affirming healthcare for youth under 19 years old, to preemptively comply with the Musk/Trump Administration's illegal Executive Order.

not actually that hot take: it was better when everyone understood that Federal agencies didn't act on policy until it was formally published in the Federal Register and actually become law instead of just "a statement from the White House"
today was an example of why that infrastructure is good

Like honestly the only way we're gonna get through this is to cultivate an unrealistically positive vibe to carry us through because a big part of resisting shock and awe is not giving into despair
Giving into despair is worse than being cringe

And they want to further stigmatize trans people, to manufacture public support for the courts ignoring the law.
We fight this by showing that trans people are loud and proud and not going anywhere.

Hoo boy, the schadenfreude is a-boiling!! 😆😆
🤪 Surprise: Heinous right wing anti-trans Rep. Nancy Mace being dogpiled by misogynist right wing anti-trans men. Fantastic reporting from @nikkimcr.bsky.social in @rollingstone.com.web.brid.gy www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Right-Wingers Bash Anti-Trans Lawmaker for Unwittingly Touting DEI
Rep. Nancy Mace was mocked by conservatives as a DEI beneficiary after bragging about her graduation from The Citadel, a once male-only academy.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
