An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.
Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

GC people will watch a lesbian be executed and agree to disagree on if it’s wrong.
Imagine respecting someone who sees murder "otherwise."

Imagine being that fucking craven.

These people have lost their minds and morality in order to justify how they have ended up being "friends" with monsters.

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.

Fwiw several people whose grandparents fled the holocaust to come to the USA made this exact comparison to me in Minnesota last week, saying this was what their grandparents told them about. The difference is that people in Minnesota have their neighbors’ backs.
my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt
The Minnesota governor is getting widespread criticism for comparing children dealing with immigration enforcement to Holocaust victim Anne Frank.

They say we live in a bubble when there is a dude so fully ensconced in podcasts, twitter, group chats, and stimulants that he thought he could dress like a literal Nazi and start shooting people in the street and be remembered as a hero

These people live in a shrinking and dying parallel universe
Exclusive: Border Patrol “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role and is expected to retire soon, sources tell @nickmiroff.bsky.social.

When outraged Germans protested over Aktion T4 in 1941, the Nazi government officially shut down the program. It continued unofficially until the fall of the Nazi government.

Don't take your eyes off of ICE if they back off their current tactics or fire more leaders in the face of mass protest.

1. In a major new federal rule, Trump is attempting to attach billions in international aid to recipients agreeing to impose anti-trans restrictions.

This includes social transition "at any age," attempting to export transphobia globally.

And it’s not even a big story.

Nobody is going to be able to comprehend in the future that “people were mean to me on social media” was considered by Serious People a crisis that merited - required! - this response.

Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.
