I don’t know how to fix it; this is just a lamentation for its own sake.

Most people didn’t care when they came for trans people

“Doesn’t effect me”

Almost half of people didn’t care when they overturned Roe

“Doesn’t effect me”

Now they’re coming for birth control.

So where is the line? When will it finally effect enough people so they stand up?
