Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

Is the trans fem nazi problem in the room with us right now? "One of you was a nazi so you're all nazis" but make it Progressive. Trans women as a demographic are so commonly so extremely far left it's a thing we joke about. It's a steteotype. But sure. We're actually Oops All Nazis.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
Alt text: A tweet from Joey Mannarino (@JoeyMannarinoUS) dated August 27, 2025. The tweet calls for Health and Human Services to violate HIPAA laws and forward information about every transgender and transgender-questioning person to law enforcement for immediate detainment, claiming they are killing children in schools. It describes this as a matter of national security, says transgender people should be locked away and studied, calls for medical professionals who enable transitions to be expelled from the profession, and demands that the federal government treat transgender people as if they were terrorist organizations. The tweet shows it was last edited at 1:11 PM and has 5,049 views.

Unclear if the folks who think other people's basic civil rights are "too divisive" are aware that they're basically acting like German Christians during the Third Reich. (Note for those unclear on their history: this means they are playing out the "First they came for" poem.)
