"Anti-woke" is just a socially acceptable way of saying "pro-bigot"
Stop using their obfuscating language.
Call out their bigotry for what it is.

Depending on exact implementation, this could be a means of preventing trans people from purchasing guns entirely.
Whenever a authoritarian government seeks to limit the right to own guns by a targeted minority, nothing good follows.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend on its own. It bends because people organize, resist, and refuse to comply with injustice — again and again, even when the path is hard.

Yep. Making their quota and bonuses is a lot easier when the call old men, women, and children 'gang members' than it would be if they went after actual armed gang members.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

Actually, reclaiming your flag is often one of the best first strategies against fascists. The US flag has long been abducted by MAGA (and Kid Rock) and now most of its meaning-space is associated with this administration.
Recontextualize it without MAGA. Detach it from Trump.
