My fellow cis Americans, I want you to look at this map. Really look at it. And I want you to imagine what it would feel like if those red states were threatening you and your family. Because, ultimately, they are.

This is what creeping fascism looks like. It will harm ALL OF US. And it will take all of us, together, to fight it.

We don't sacrifice people. We stand with our trans siblings. When their rights are threatened, all our rights are threatened.

May Anti-Trans Legislative Risk Map

The map of anti-trans risk has polarized into two Americas - one where trans people have full legal protections, and one where they are persecuted by the state.

@fraying It's not just fascism; it's christo-fascism. Its adherents must be punished.

@lednabm I think obsession with punishment is what caused this mess in the first place. @fraying

True, but reTHUGliCONs interpret the law only to advantage. Democrats wax philosophically on it, pretending justice is blind in a system where it clearly is not.

@lednabm @fraying Oh, I'm not saying voting will fix this, nor that violence will absolutely not ever be necessary at any point. But there's a difference between violence used out of love to defend others or yourself, and violence used to establish dominance and to inflict harm.
