This just blew my mind. Why have I never heard this in response to 2A zealots before today? @corbintrent.bsky.social
The wild thing is, the best way to protect your family and defend democracy is by using the other amendments. The Second is the least useful for fighting state violence. People love to quote that the arc of history bends toward justice, but that's bad advice. It doesn't bend on its own; it is bent by immense effort and will. Fixing our country will take hard work-mental, emotional, and physical. We're told that if we take away guns, only criminals will have them, but this is a lie we've been fed. Countries like Australia, the UK, and Japan have shown that strong gun laws drastically reduce gun violence for everyone.

Trenchant point in Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social
The truth is that grooming isn't telling kids that there are different kinds of people in the world; it's telling them that they're worth nothing if they're different, that they are fundamentally alone, that no one will help them, that they shouldn't understand what's happening and why it hurts. Increasing the amount of shame kids feel increases the likelihood that they won't speak about their wounds. That's the vision of the "Don't Say Gay" bill and its world, and it is one that will hurt children and make it easier to silence them. Even now you can't hear them, the kids who are being hurt, over the din of protests by the people who claim to be saving them.
