The way I see it, the fascists are attacking 3 groups first, so that's where we build our trenches. Lines in the sand are useless. Build some defenses.
1. Transgender people -
#TransRights are #HumanRights
2. Immigrants -
No human is illegal
3. Disabled and neurodivergent -
A person's value does not rely of their ability to make someone else money.
If you are a member of one of these groups or feel personally threatened, please let me know how to best defend you.
I'm brainstorming ways that #MyWhitePrivilege might be able to act as a shield or invisibility cloak because pretending that #WhitePrivilege doesn't exist doesn't help anyone.
If you're a fellow cis white person, it's time for us to stand the fuck up & take some heat for a change.

It feels like Trump‘s first term was about overturning Roe vs Wade, and then having done that they pivoted to demonizing trans people
Because abortion is now illegal in half the US, so they lost that as an organizing issue
They isolate and pick us off one at a time
If people can’t join together to fight these as one hate campaign, we are lost

@AccordionBruce I couldn't agree more, Bruce.
It's truly all one fight. There's way more of us than them, but we can't keep letting them divide and pick us off.
@SrRochardBunson what do you mean by "trenches" and "defenses"? Are these euphemisms for something?
@katarinajones Something that's more than just empty words. A concrete pledge tl standup for those most vulnerable people backed up by real world action.
#RainbowRailroad comes to mind.

@SrRochardBunson Lines in the sand don't hold. Trenches in the mud are what it takes
@SrRochardBunson if Kennedy will be in power, there will be a fourth group, the ones that need medicines, e.g., for ADHD or depression or...
@SrRochardBunson
1. includes Women. They're side-swiping Women as collateral damage, or as pent-up misogyny.
3. includes Veterans. This an elephant in the room as Veterans also fit into this class due their Service.
