Meanwhile, Jacqueline Kennedy is rolling in her grave over the "upgrades" to the White House and Trump's promises to "beautify" the surrounding neighborhoods. For fuck sake, there aren't many things related to American history I wanted to see, but on that list was the rose gardens.

I see this fallacy almost every day, in tech and politics:
1. There is a problem
2. We believe that our solution will fix the problem
3. We built the solution
4. Therefore the problem is now fixed
Bitch, no. You have to check.
Let's talk about leading and trailing indicators.

If you had 100 homeless people, and 175,000 per person to deal with the problem, what would you do?
In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

I got shit on for being a "single issue" advocate when I was younger, but there is something to be said for stinking to one thing you're good at long enough to make a difference.
Be calm. Be proactive. Prioritize your needs. Assess your situation. THEN react.

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth.
The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Lawsuits were filed, and it got kicked up to the state Supreme Court, who sided against the GOP.
