What the Heritage Foundation is trying to do with their bullshit TIVE designation is trans genocide. They want to end our Right to Exist by labeling a protected class of people from speaking out against their fascism and hate. Death before detransition.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.
There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.
He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

Antifa isn’t an organization. Its is literally being anti-fascist. I am antifa. Most of this country is. Labeling them as a terrorist group is literally fascism and what antifa is for

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it.
By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

I wish the right wing had not been given a brand new martyr to venerate at this moment in time, but other than that, I feel absolutely nothing for his death.
A violent life came to a violent end. If it had happened to someone else, Kirk would have celebrated it.

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
