Or, as Niemoller didn't say:

"First, they came for the trans people, but you didn't know it, because we're not in the poem."
Reminder: The Trump election campaign spent $215,000,000 on anti-trans adverts alone. More than anything else.

Transphobia (or “gender-critical beliefs” as transphobes call it) is CORE to fascism.

Transphobia is FRONT & CENTRE of fascism, not adjacent or an add-on.

All transphobes are fascists.
Republicans Spent Nearly $215M on TV Ads Attacking Trans Rights This Election
“That's $134 per trans person in anti-trans ad spending,” civil rights attorney Alejandra Caraballo said.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2NYXwX8/ This gave me some much needed warm fuzzies. And surprisingly still on the topic of politics. Which seems rare, as of late.

Passing along so you can feel some warm fuzzies, too.

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran.

Nobody is safe.

None of the other politicians I’ve seen in a freeze frame appearing to do this salute have been as convincing as this side by side video comparison and there’s a reason for that. Think critically.
For all the people posting out-of-context images of dems with their arms up here’s a video comparison

How sad to think our country has gone so dark and so grim in so many ways. Please know your rights before going anywhere.
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

THESE are the people that Donald Trump just pardoned.

Meanwhile, one of Joe Biden's final act was to grant a preemptive pardon to the POLICE OFFICERS that dared to testify to Congress.
