If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

No matter what you want to call it, it's taking someone else's autonomy to decide on their medical care away from them. You say it's for their safety, when really it's for your own comfort. That's not a liberal idea.

Most democrats are too pompous and self-righteous to ever admit it, but opposing trans healthcare for kids goes against everything the actually stand for. Their party and platform basically mean nothing at this point. Just a bunch of hypocrites that can't see they are fighting Trump by becoming him.

I very much believe the Steven Millers and the Russ Vought's and Heritage Foundations of the world want to see the United States turned into a christofascist, heteronormative, white ethnostate. They've basically said as much. Giving in on trans rights, in any manner, plays into that hand.

Whiny democrats: What are we supposed to do? We have to beat Trump! I don't know? Create a platform that doesn't kill the rights of vulnerable kids? But at least take your own fucking medicine. You're trading vulnerable minorities for political points. You get to own that. You aren't the good guys.

This is how historian Robert Paxton defined a certain word that begins with F in his 2004 book.
Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

I'm sooooo tired of people acting like politics is this thing that is external to us that we can, somehow, opt out of. Literally everything is political and politics is an extension of who we are as well as the mechanism through which we create society based on who we are and what we value.
