This right here. Spreading "perfect victim" or "innocence" narratives is dangerous and cedes ground on the fact that *all* people deserve dignity, humane treatment, and access to due process. Feeding into perfect victim or innocence narratives isn't just irresponsible messaging, it is copaganda.
It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

“Their most dangerous function is they take well-meaning people and co-opt them to think that the actual solution is tweaking the levers of the government’s repressive institutions while maintaining their structure in all material respects.”
A vital theme of my new book: how did liberal institutions--news outlets, professors, non-profits--help lead us to this authoritarian moment? What can we do about it? This is one of the most important interviews I've done: www.cjr.org/the_media_to...

so glad she was able to speak about what happened to her (is still happening). she was selected against her will to become the subject of national attention that was extreme in its arbitrariness and in its hatefulness. just a laser-focused beam of hate directed right on this 19yp girl’s head
For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.
'My Entire Life Is Political': Trans Fencer Attacked by Conservative Outrage Machine Speaks Out
Red Sullivan, a fencer targeted by the anti-trans outrage machine after an opponent refused to duel her, says it was all a media stunt from the start.

There's two things I want to impress upon my sisters, and the cowards who sat on the sidelines, eager to see us sacrificed.
1. We are not sacrifices, but heralds. That the madmen currently trying to tear the world asunder both revile us and worship at the shrine of Patriarchy is not an accident.

Naming and shaming ICE agents would do a lot right now, methinks.
Give them a taste of the fear they're creating.

Pretty telling that far too many people are on the 'Let Nazis take Anne" side then "Hide Her" side of the "What would you do in Nazi Germany" question.
I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.
That's not something you get over.

Dems repeating that they need to backpedal on trans rights is dark not just for its immediately-apparent cowardice, but they didn't even try last election cycle. It was all conservative manufactured controversy and what did we have from dems? "I will follow the law." Please. They already capitulated
