Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

You can’t build a coalition of people you’re sacrificing.
Black people are a small minority like LGBT. The idea is to have a coalition of overlapping minorities that can assemble to get a majority.

some rare good news: a Georgia judge has dismissed the Cop City domestic terrorism charges against Jamie Mariscano in DeKalb County, noting that the "Attorney General's Office appears to have delayed this matter in order to gain a tactical advantage over the defense."

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like.
I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

This is terrible and could describe many prisons and jails in this country. It shouldn't happen anywhere.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.

we often say "the cruelty is the point" regarding the past few years of transphobic policy onslaught, and it is, but it's important to understand that the point of the cruelty is because *they know they have lost*. they're pulling every lever down for a hail mary, but people will keep transitioning.
a lot of cis people seem to respond by saying "well just don't look at the news" or "well stop doomscrolling" as if we share the luxury of being able to put our heads in the sand when our friends and loved ones are forced to make impossible choices.
we're going to win though. cat's out of the bag.
