Never let a crisis go to waste.
That's the label they use for mass shooters when they can't be racially blamed in case you didn't know. White school shooters are NVEs. They are trying to legitimize the "trans people are school shooters" absurdity they have created out of thin air by making a syllogism - and being able to treat them as terrorists in the process. Which in US law basically means you have no rights
Every accusation is an admission.
Dear trans comrades from the US, arm yourself and orgabize if you have the means to. I'd say get out of there but that's probably much more difficult. 😔
My dearest friends, I second this.
Exercise your second amendment rights. Be prepared.
And in every way possible; please protect yourselves.

So butch to be afraid of mine who want to wear dresses and women who want to wear pants.
Full depth pockets are for men and terrorists ig
holy fuck
Everything goes according to putin's plan. Electing incompetent nazi cunts will weaken us.
Being told you're a nihilistically violent extremist that should be locked up sure sounds like an impetus to, i dunno, have no hope for the future and in turn be more receptive to extremist actions, even violent ones, no?
That's the point.
If you can push a minority group into desperation, then you get to play the moral high ground when they act out of desperation. It's not a new trick by any means.
It’s been Israel’s playbook against Palestine for a very, very long time.
Nah, even if the minority group doesn't do anything, "yes they are. They're being evil and doing evil things just over there where you're not looking, and that's why bad things are happening to you. The only way to stop them is to give me power."
I categorize the FBI as the Nazi Gestapo.
that's ICE.
The FBI is more akin to the Schutzstaffel (SS).
they go around "investigating" crimes against the führer and against the party.
How can nihilistic people also be steeped in a "trans ideology" that they want to force on everyone?
Nazis aren't big on verbal accuracy or logical consistency. They are big on keeping everyone arguing while they ramp up the machinery for disappearing people.
and then they’ll parallel push for removal of passports for these groups. then they’ll push to make passports required for voting….
fucking nazis. all of them.
And if you don't have a passport they'll arrest you and send you to a camp for undocumented people. If you try to escape they'll arrest you and send you to a camp. The only way through is active, organized resistance and defense in large numbers.
That’s funny. I’ve been defining the FBI and the current administration as embodying “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.”
Weird, right?
I’m a terrorist? Because of what I did to my body?
Clearly! Hopefully you'll be driven away!
To Canada, Portugal, or maybe Malta. Which apparently all have very strong protections for transgender folks. Malta apparently combines that with no murders of trans persons from 2008-2022.
(Stay safe please)
Canada might be going downhill from what I hear 😬
Unfortunately, a lot of places are...
Safety and survival are the top priorities, so the furthest from "actually trying to kill you" is ideal IMO. But getting to another country is easier said than done, so its get going to where you can be as safe as you can. If that's Portugal, do it. If its a blue city in a blue state, do that. If its surviving on a homestead and avoiding all contact possible... Thats still an option.
One of my friends is planning to go to Toronto for an "extended work trip" her boss is arranging.
I really fucking hate this stupid timeline.
Is there any hope that this designation makes it easier for trans Americans to apply for asylum in other countries? I'd love to see Canada step up and welcome trans refugees. We do have our problems though: politics is lurching to the right and the fascist sharks are circling. I do worry for my trans friends here too. But we're mostly not at MAGA levels of insanity, and I hope what we see in the USA shocks Canada out of our drift towards it.
I hope they do make it easier for trans Americans to get in!
With any luck, what's happening here right now will be a big enough warning for your fellow Canadians...
I hope Canadian rights campaign groups start to push for the government to recognize that trans people are not safe in the USA and deserve the chance of asylum here.
You monster! That body is the property of Christian fascism now.
Unless it gets pregnant. Then it can get fucked for all they care.
They’re gonna kill it and then say that it was a suicide.
So if trans people become members of the satanic temple, then would they still be nihilists?
That is messed up. These guys have just given up on humanity and just want to punch down. Fucked.
They desperate to apply the new term they just learned.
To bad they aren't a legitimate organization.
The moment they start door kicking in gunland is when their fantasy falls apart.
How many times have lone Americans fought back against cops and won? The only way to put a brake on this is a massive movement of active solidarity with trans people. Anyone who considers themselves a trans ally (anyone with a heart) needs to make contact with others and organize to support and defend the trans community. Make it difficult for them to turn this nonsense into anything but words on paper. Fund legal and medical aid for trans people. Be ready to obstruct the Gestapo together when the time comes. If you don't, and try to lay low, the Nazis are still coming for you soon enough.
Time to post pictures of all of them in drag at some point in their life
Civil War is necessary!
