The FBI is reportedly trying to categorize trans people as “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs).

They seem emboldened by the Kirk shooting despite the fact that it was not committed by a trans person.

If you’re cis, and especially if you’re cis and white, please step up.

Speak out. Protect trans people. This is a test to see if we’re willing to sacrifice the basic human rights of an entire group of people. We must say “no”.

Trans rights are human rights.

@broadwaybabyto This seems to be a brand new term. Just doing a quick duck search and it's all over the place starting around May but if you limit time to at least a year old it's nowhere....a bunch of articles about right wing incels is all you get.

It's all over the fucking place now though and seems to have been for a few months here....just enough history to give it legitimacy.

@crazyeddie @broadwaybabyto there is a reasonable set of groups that could I could see labeled as NVE: O9A, 764, anything inspired by Mason/Manson and Seige, TCC, incels. The thing is that most of these are already right wing extremists so they're just going to arbitrarily slap that label on trans folks instead of anything connected to any kind of shared reality.

@Hex @broadwaybabyto Calling Manson a Nihilist just seems like a massive stretch to me. There's no reason I know of to think he holds the nihilist perspective on life. Quite the opposite in fact, he seems quite insistent that his life in particular has a special meaning beyond others.

There is very little reason for a nihilist to actually kill anyone. They Groyper idiots--or however you call them--but turning entropy into a religion doesn't seem like nihilism either. That's the Doomguard.

@broadwaybabyto @janeishly When Trump was elected I said trans people should GTFO of the US, better today than tomorrow (and women and scientists should too…). They will go after you like Hitler went after jews, because you are different and fascists need scapegoats.
You now have two choices: leave the US or start building an armed resistance force. Just stop thinking it won’t be as bad as deep down you know it will. #antifa #transrights #fascism #usa

@dgavin @broadwaybabyto @janeishly that’s wise in theory, but sadly that’s just not possible for a lot of people. Marginalised people are far more likely to be poor or otherwise unable to get the paperwork/passport/visas needed to legally leave. People in the US are seriously gonna have to make some tough choices from here on out… it’s not a choice I ever thought people would have to make in my lifetime, but alas this is what’s happening 😕💚

@Kabbaway @dgavin @broadwaybabyto @janeishly Yeah, I don't think most of us are convincing ourselves it won't be that bad, but moving requires resources that many people just don't have. Even moving to a different state, let alone a different country. I keep saying if people want me to relocate and they believe it to be so simple, they should step up and fund it for me and so far no one has. And I'm not even as disenfranchised as others I know of.

@greengaybles Honestly, if people from Somalia can cross half of Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and the EU fortress without so much as a dollar, US citizens can travel to Canada to ask for political asylum. Can you do so without risk? Probably not. Is the risk larger than staying in the US, waiting to be incarcerated? Up to you to decide.

@broadwaybabyto classic fascist playbook : demonize and blame a minority, once they're gone go to the next minority until only the "right" people are left. It worked well for many previous genocidal dictators. It seems to be working for the republicans too (GOP = rich, ultradumb but also ultracruel Nazis)

I think it was the Daily Mail or something.

Silencing a whole community by labeling them “extremists” is nothing but state-sponsored slander.
If we don’t resist this now, tomorrow it will be someone else.
Trans rights are — and will remain — human rights.

@broadwaybabyto Remember: They use the group people are apathetic to in order to get the laws and power in place to strip rights. Then they don't need people to go along with it to get the rest of the people's rights!
