[email protected] - Students of US history understand what Lincoln knew: One reason you can't have slavery in some parts of the country and not in others, is because slaves run to the free parts.

But many of those same students don't realize that you can't block women's reproductive rights in some parts of the country and let it be legal in others. People travel to California. This frustrates the racists.

The racists are coming for women's rights everywhere. Nationwide. And they will use racism to accomplish it.

@martinvermeer @Ruth_Mottram the fact that the #StateDept purposefully misgenders #trans* and #nonbinary* people and refuses to issue correct passports is the closest to flatout stamping a big red T into said passports.
