You can choose to be a shield and champion, or you can choose to step aside and let the vulnerable die. If you choose the latter, we who are targeted owe you no leeway, latitude, nor empathy for your decision. We're under risk no matter what. We don't have the luxury to step aside.
If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator...
...then you are still a collaborator.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

Whilst it is absolutely true that the lawfare deployed against charities in particular, but also many other businesses, is an existential threat to them, I think it is also fair for us to be furious that the choice is always "fuck them trannies" and continued existence.

Repeatedly, charities have chosen to cooperate with the ongoing exclusion of trans people from public life rather than take a serious risk to defend us. They will survive this shit. We fucking won't. Girl guiding or the People's History Museum or whatever get to do on. We die alone.

It's cowardice. It's straight up fucking cowardice because their fucking jobs and org are more important than our lives. Our people are already fucking dying and it's gonna get worse. No fucking tolerance for anyone prepared to fucking accept that as a reasonable cost of doing business.

there's nothing in the supreme court ruling that says you have to exclude trans women from women's spaces or orgs or whatever, so appeasing a billionaire bigot does seem to be what's going on here.
All these statements being made with "utmost regret and sadness" fundamentally don't change the fact that these organisations are all folding to appease one vexatious bigot because she has infinite money, instead of doing the right thing and sticking by their guns and ignoring the Supreme Court.

“I think we have to be careful with the Nazi comparisons” people are always waiting until we are five minutes until the Holocaust and then they’re like well it’s only ethnic cleansing not a Holocaust
Is this clear enough or are we still doing that whole thing where we pretend it’s about “crime”?

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Right now I'm doing this big writing project on rare species in Florida and thinking about how much they might suffer because of this AI grift, especially the poor freshwater crustaceans, already loved by almost no one, now trapped under Orlando during a water crisis. I hope they get to live.
