If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Heather Cox Richardson posted a video recently, where she talks exactly to this point.

Taking away the rights of the few is a stage of taking away rights for everyone.

Trans rights are human rights. In states that are in taking away parents ability to care for their children is an atrocity It is a crime against humanity and the most essential way.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @georgetakei
that‘s the one thing spock got wrong …
the lives of the many don‘t outweight the lives of the few.

that reasoning will just lead to a veeeery small group of many 🫣

@speckmantel @GhostOnTheHalfShell @georgetakei he didn't say lives.
He said needs. And he didn't say few, he said one.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.

I agree it can be a problematic statement in some cases, but it's more about not pandering to an individual when the many have more pressing needs. It's about not being selfish and considering the collective.
