flexghost.It is now legal for Florida to kidnap trans children
Republicans passed SB254 proving American fascism has no repercussions
The party of “family values” destroying families.
Frank Andorka@flexghost What is wrong with these people?
AlicePaulEverything. Everything is wrong with these people.
Jarruda@B2B_Scribe @flexghost greed
They need a boogeyman like most tyrants, and they elected lbgtq+ as other tyrants did
They use this to gain votes.
Is not principles or morals.

Francesco Orsenigo (he/him)They're not about freedom, parental rights or whatever they say.
Power is all they care about, and will say and do whatever gets them more power.
It's fucking scary.
Brooke 🏳️⚧️@flexghost This just breaks my heart on so many levels
Darwin Woodka@flexghost the hell is this shit
ScottinSoCal 🇺🇦 🕊 🏳🌈And giving them the right to override court rulings from other states, setting up a legal quagmire.
But the scariest part of this is not knowing how the partisan hacks on SCOTUS will eventually rule on this law. It's blatantly unconstitutional, but they may choose to overlook that.
@ScottSoCal Democrats just sitting by and smiling when we knew they judges were lying when they were all appointed to office. Unqualified and uncaring about the law, pretending to be impartial.
John Shirley@flexghost @ScottSoCal they weren't smiling. Many Democrats did challenge them on these things. But they just didn't have the votes to stop the nominations. Some of the Trump judges were stopped though. Not enough but some.
Destroy a child to save them?
Because the state vanishing one’s sense of security by forcefully removing them from their home is a hard road to come back from.
AT-AT Assault 🏳️⚧️>Destroy a child to save them?
The goal isn't to save them. The goal is to create as many impoverished, spirit-broken worker drones to enrich the lives of the very few wealthy elite.
@atatassault @GoAskAlice and create an “other” much like Nazis did with the exact same maligned group
Lachesis@flexghost

The Birdthese news is so horrifying and sickening. As a trans person watching literal genocide and stochastic terrorism happening against my community, it wears me down. I'm so damn tired.
Allies feel few and far between.
obscurestar@flexghost Can't say I'm surprised. Until pretty recently they were stealing children from Jews, blacks and indigenous peoples, and while it was still legal (until 2006, they stole them from gay families too) Recall a woman in OK whose child was given to abusive ex with 2 felony aggro assault charges because, 'The child might face discrimination being raised by a lesbian' (in a self-fullfilling prophecy) It's called an Ethnic Cleansing. Fascists love em.
@flexghost holy crap. What in god’s name has happened to so many legislators? Have these people always been bat-crazy? Or have they always been amoral, unethical, unprincipled opportunists ?
Bat_Advice@flexghost #desantis is a fascist
Heather@flexghost It's past time for families with trans children to leave Florida. And it's time for families of trans children in Texas to leave, too. I'm so sorry we couldn't stop this, but get your kids to safety now if you can.
Ferdi Magellan@flexghost how very Nazi of them.
🍸Pooka🥕Boo🍸I would get the hell out of that red slave shithole state, well before I would give them any opportunity to fuck with my family...
Molly in Missouri@flexghost Missouri is almost as bad as Florida, and I don't know if the responsible thing to do is to just LEAVE even if it means going broke (selling a house to move someplace with higher home prices) or if I'm seriously supposed to believe that capitalists will let the rest of us survive in place as their empire enters its death spiral. It's obvious guns and racism are weapons used to shore up the wealth of a few; do we undermine their power or cling to the edges and hope we out-wait them?
Thé Kraken@flexghost also hb1421 is similar and also circulating to the upper courts
Kevin Karhan 
@flexghost I guess those families affected should flee overseas and press charges for #genocide.
Because that's literally coded in §6 Section 1 Number 5 ("forced abduction of minours out of said group and into another").

#NotLegalAdvice but I'll gladly get them connected to a lawyer.
sOlOw-NHSo much for parental rights
Bater Kari@flexghost It appears there aren't many functional brain cells, if any with these legislators. Must be spending waaaaaaay too many hours lounging on the beach under the sun working on those bronze tans.🤔
Summer in Florida is brutal from what I've been told.
