The suspect's alleged trans girlfriend is cooperating with investigators, but rightwingers are still using her identity to blame trans people.

      That they’re setting the legal groundwork for rounding up trans people to camps.

        I know that but where is the line. They are setting all this legal precedence on like mood ring settings. Where does gender fluid cross over into trans? How does trans = terrorist in the first place? I wore a dress for Halloween, so did Rudy Giuliani. I have so many questions on the logic. This is literally the Salem witch trials.

          The line is arbitrary, it’s wherever they say it is at the time. The point is control, not a rational legal framework.

          I guess they are aware that a smaller group of people are contemplating of getting rid of them in a less peaceful way somehow. with this, they can smear trans people, manufacture a reason to get rid of them, to reduce their rights, and also further turn people against each other by claiming that these trans people and everyone opposing maga are terrorists

    Party of me is curious about how the hexbear folk ready to all this. Seeing they were both enthousiastic about Trump and trans rights.

    I’m not curious enough to remove them from my ban list and actually wade into the swamp, though.

      I just went and can report back. Talking about ignoring the human suffering to focus on the material benefits (it weakens capitalism by reducing support and increasing radicalisation).

        It not being hopeful was what I feared/suspected
