so, my partner and i got some extremely bad news today. our primary source of income is about to disappear, and we're not going to be able to afford rent and bills, so we're trying to raise as much money as we can to survive while we're looking for work. any donations will help immensely, and 100% of it will go to keeping two disabled transfems housed and fed

I mean perhaps we shouldn't organize our society in such a way that it results in 9 berobbed priests deciding if we have fundamental rights or not roughly once every 6 months with little to no recourse inside said system for justice if they decide we don't?

Perhaps, and I'm just speaking theoretically here, America is not in fact the utopian ideal of democracy and goodness in the world and maybe, just maybe, doing things differently than this would be better.

I mean I have this crazy idea right? What if we simply don't do whatever unhinged billionaire nazis who have openly admitted they're going to wipe out most of the species and replace us "with AI" to continue capitalism on a boiling planet, tell us to do? Furthermore, given that we know these people literally own our governments, we stop doing what those governments tell us to do on behalf of billionaire nazi cultists what want to replace humanity with ChatGPT robots?

Just spitballin here.

About trans rights:

They're a wedge issue. If you think it's okay to deprive trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn. Which puts you on a slippery slope to no human rights for anyone.

When you trace the roots of the modern anti-trans movement they boil down to some combination of bigotry and billionaire bullshit— the oligarchs think rights are for the rich.

So: trans-rights are human rights. No exceptions.

I mean folks, we have the data. This is settled science. Not only does gay conversion therapy NOT work, it literally just makes queer kids kill themselves. Not even a joke. This fucks people up for life.

And SCOTUS just legalized it. So if you want to look me in the face and say "you are being unreasonable for saying we must take DRASTIC measures to stop the nazis from MURDERING QUEER KIDS" you can - but you'd best put up those hands immediately.

Brey, there is a solution. We don't have to take this. You just have to decide that you're prepared to take the police truncheon to the skull now, because it'll be a bullet to the brain case later if you don't.

We do not have to accept a world where it's not only legal, but PROTECTED SPEECH to torture the gay out of your kids. We don't. Storm the Winter Palace. Now. Yesterday. As soon as you can.

Before it really is too late and we're all staring at the mushroom cloud.
