Can we please STOP underestimating the grave threat Trump poses by citing historical authoritarian regimes.
No past regime had a military & police forces as deadly & over-funded as this one.
No past regime was going to put the planet at risk of hurtling even faster towards a climate cataclysm.

We already have a massive nursing shortage that the Dept of Ed just ensured will get even worse. Hospitals are going to become increasingly dangerous places to be.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

A significant number of Congressmen and their staffs have been identified as having friendly relations with a straight up neo-Nazi outfit called the Liberty Lobby, run by a man named Willis Carto who has busts of Hitler in his office. Strangely, it seems few are all that concerned. The year is 1967.

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.
