Honestly, it's also wild you're posting about a legacy project for a trans girl on Facebook, trying to drive traffic from a social media refuge to a notorious platform that actively uses pictures of girls to advertise at men, dismantled protections for trans folks, and has a hostile user community.

Furthermore, the children who stabbed and killed Brianna (and all other violent transphobes) didn't get radicalized by phones. Their hearts and minds were poisoned by hateful, ignorant "leaders" and the disgusting vitriol in your press and public discourse - all of which is pervasive outside school.

Ma'am, you have a cultural problem that isn't caused by phones and you are trying to solve it with a phone bag that would isolate students from confidential support and calling for help during the school day. This is not additive or a supplemental safety strategy. It's a failure to address bigotry.

Why would this be helpful at all? I do not understand how swag bags with isolation tools are supposed to have anything to do with the legacy of a murdered trans teen.

Phones are how kids stay connected and call community members for help. This looks like counterproductive, performative nonsense.

I usually go with world-weary for that one.

They are the ratchet part of the ratchet effect.

Well said, and thank you!

They are not sacrificial lambs; they are cowards and fascist collaborators.

That's a shitty bet to make, and it actually looks a lot more like extorting citizens and removing access to vital healthcare to try to compel political support, and it will fail. Each of these sensors will be primaried.

I honestly think this is the real reason for all the sinophobic screeching in Western media.

Congratulations! I'd love to tune in via Zoom! Thanks in advance. 😊

I love how sunny the ground looks, especially contrasting against grey skies.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.
