this is really well-stated. Transphobia is the express lane to the Far Right.
Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

As a libertarian, I think it’s important that Americans understand that if they just do what the government says, they won’t get shot.

That's it, Ted. The problem is not masked goons kidnapping and killing people, it's the tone this admin uses to describe what happened.🙄
Ted Cruz: "What I think the administration could do better is the tone with which they're describing this. Immediately when an incident like this happens, they come out guns blazing that 'we took out a violent terrorist. Hooray."

Giving them more training won't make them more peaceful.

It'll just make their brutalization more polished and effective.
The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

New York City’s mass-transit system is potentially on track for what could be its most ambitious expansion in close to a century thanks, in part, to a booster from the state’s western edge.
