This week's comic on the authoritarian takeover of US media
#media #uspol #democracy #journalism #authoritarianism #oligarchy
MAGA: We Protect Children!
So, child tax credit to prevent child poverty from spiking 30%?
MAGA: Nope
Gun safety laws because guns are the leading cause of death for American kids?
MAGA: Nope
Stop arming Isreal because they've killed dthousands of Palestinian, Iranian, & Lebanese kids?
MAGA: Nope
Release the Epstein Files because children were systemically raped?
MAGA: Nope
Then HOW do you protect children?
MAGA: We heard of 7 trans student athletes so we elected a fascist to stop them!
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trans people of the right to exist in the public sphere then you're saying human rights are conditional and/or can be withdrawn.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.
