They are trying to abolish voting, see voter suppression laws and pretty much every voting rights case the Supreme Court has seen during Roberts's tenure.

Maybe if/when the US invades, if we fight for Canada they'll give us citizenship.

I thought this was called Wild and Crazy Kids my whole life, but apparently that's another show that was on around the same time. I guess I watched both and they got mixed together. Thanks for the info!

Everyone who can get pregnant has lost the ability to have safe care if they're in a state with an abortion ban. Someone close to me was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court for the crime of having an ectopic pregnancy and only survived because she saved herself when doctors wouldn't out of fear of being retaliated against.

This activated a fragment of a thought that I haven't had in decades, wow. I'm not even sure I remember what this is from.

But her last name is White so it's a real dilemma for them.

The current moral panic about queer people is definitely manufactured, but the hatred that it's stirred up is still real. All the religious psychos in power (including Speaker of the House Mike Johnson) really believe that stuff and want to enforce their hierarchy.

That's useful AI that doesn't take billions of dollars to train, though. (it's also a great idea and I'd be down for it)

I've mentioned in previous comments that I'm trans. The regime is specifically targeting trans people by reverting our passports, erasing us from government websites, defying court orders to move trans women to men's prisons, making it legal to surveil us, etc.

None of this would have happened if Harris was president. I agree that a lot of Democrats fucking suck, but trans people wouldn't be freaking out trying to figure out how to survive if Harris had won. Everyone is going through shit, but we're going through more. Republicans' endgame is to have us either in the closet or dead. They're probably getting away with disappearing Mahmoud Khalil and if they do they're probably gonna go for trans organizers at some point.

Biden being president gave us four years to breathe. Harris would have given us another four years. I think the country would have had a complete fascist takeover in the next fifteen or twenty years regardless, but we could have at least given ourselves more time to prepare.

People who refused to vote and are now complaining about either the Democrats or about Trump doing what he said he'd do are similar to people who voted for Trump and are now complaining about Trump doing what he said he'd do. Like what did you expect? And thanks for letting me as a trans person get erased from existence, by the way.
