We’re at the “first they came for the transgender people, but I wasn’t transgender so…” stage of fascism.

Believe me, there have already been canaries in the coal mine that been checked off Fascists’ lists (POC, those with disabilities, assorted other Useless Eaters). They’re ticking down the list, and your whiteness or wealth will not protect you. Fight now.

@mckra1g "First they came for the rights of black protesters..."

"Then they came for women's reproductive rights"

"Then they came for the books teaching kids anything that makes Conservatives uncomfortable about being Conservative".

"And NOW they are coming for trans-gender rights."

It's not Step-1. It's more like Step-4. #Neimoller

The path from Montana Republicans banning Zooey Zephyr for accurately describing their policies leads directly to banning any liberal who speaks about what is happening, and the walk down that path is very short indeed.

Better Boston
@mckra1g They started a long time ago with controlling women. Once they got that win in the Supreme Court of corruption they are moving to everyone else. These Nazis will not stop until everyone is under their control.
@mckra1g
Ectopic pregnancy being a death sentence affects women and they cheer, wearing AR15 pins during and after school shootings. Work requirements for social security. They are making books felonies to eliminate libraries and schools. They are coming for women, children, elderly, and poor.
They have always attacked people who are not ‘white.’ Also yes, they are attacking trans people’s very existence. People are in danger.
@mckra1g
Call me radical but they first came for BIPOC and many in our community remained silent.
Kids in cages, police brutality, Black trans women die at an entirely more horrible rate than the rest of us... 1/
@mckra1g This aren't new things.
Black people has been legislated against for centuries. People's reproductive rights were taken away and many chose to be silent. First nations' (indigenous and/or Indian cultures, many identify differently) sacred grounds were taken by oil ducts, many said nothing.
They spoke ill of immigration, revealing their xenophobia, many remained sielnt.
The white supremacists make anti-semitic remarks, silence...

@mckra1g The reality of it is that we are at the "Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." stage.

We must keep fighting, but we (aas a community and as individuals) need to introspect. /3
