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 @siracusa the thread may have gotten taken over by a bot account. I’m not sure but, hey, let’s find out! I actually do live in Alabama. I think people that disagree with the AL Gov should stay here and vote so we can make things better here. https://goodpeoplevote.org/

Let's take charge of the civic process and change the culture of voting together.

@robertbrodrecht @fraying @siracusa Ultimately one has to decide whether it is tolerable to pay into a system that refuses to use those funds for the benefit of the payer or in service to their values. Because that is what happens every year until success or mass abandonment of the effort. It is a hard thing to vote year after year and never once pick a winner, even for municipal broom-pusher or county dogcatcher.

@log thanks for your feedback? I just want non-Republicans to vote more in the state I live in

@log FWIW, we have a shit ton of trees in Alabama. From what I’ve heard, the regrow outpaces harvesting
