American trans humans are under threat and like in 1930s Germany, they now have to GTFO of their home country.

We have decided we need to collect some information on the possible ways out.

So we made a wiki.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

We have the numbers.

Trump is unpopular.

He can't escape the crumbling economy, rising health care costs, AND THE EPSTEIN FILES. He's also negative double digits on immigration now.

ICE murdering a U.S. citizen is the worst "overreach" possible.

I hope this inspired mass nonviolent protests.

One thing I have learned as a public health professor is that there is real value in stating and repeating important information, even—or especially—when that information may seem like it should be obvious.

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

Not answered in this screenshot: why the actual F was he in an LA times story in high school???
A 2003 LA Times story featured Santa Monica HS senior Stephen Miller saying he was glad he didn't have to write term papers because it would interfere with his other activities. He's holding books by Poe and Dickens, plus 2 by Larry Elder and one by National Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre.

Thanks to @maetang.myatproto.social and @nberlat.bsky.social for articulating why this knives out installment fell flat for me. It did not address - at all - the issue of Christian supremacy and how it harms people
This is a good break down of some of what didn't work for me in the film. I'd add that the film presents Christianity as storytelling. It argues for one interpretation. The "good" Christians see the story as about inclusion, forgiveness, grace. The "bad" Christians, division, hatred, control. But...

every person I've heard say that they have to be there for their followers has had approximately 1% as many followers as I had on that platform. Bring your community to places where they're not under siege.
Trying to understand the psychology behind this.

Are they attached to their “follow count”? I was quickly able to build the same following over here, except there are no bots or people who followed me the one day they used Twitter back in 2009 then never logged back on.
the broad inability to leave a social media platform owned by a white supremacist and prolific manipulator of public perception really is one of the most discouraging data points right now

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected.
