In a moment that should chill every American who values freedom and dignity, right-wing commentator Joey Mannarino recently called for all transgender people in the United States to be rounded up, detained, and studied. This grotesque suggestion isn’t just a toxic opinion—it’s a blueprint for state-sponsored persecution. Mannarino isn’t a fringe player screaming into the void....

Stay safe rule, my brothers, sisters and anything outside and in between.

No idea where else I could post this with maximum visibility.

    Every minority should get guns, or provide support to those who bear arms. The way things are going, a new Trail of Tears and Holocaust will happen. How many innocents end up dead, will depend on you and me.

    I am autistic, and am learning how to use a firearm. It is my intention to serve the spirit of the Constitution: Liberty, happiness, and prosperity for all.

    …except for fascists.

    I do want to point out that this isn’t a policy maker, just a vocal idiot.

    However, it is well understood that the fascists have no desire to include LGBTQ in their “in-group,” Given that the regime has already removed protections for Trans individuals, it’s a matter of time before RFK Jr refills the CDC and declares it a disease requiring extensive study.

    This means there is time to prepare. Immigrating is stupid hard. Moving is stupid hard. Find someone you trust that can hide you at a moments notice. Keep a pair of sunglasses on you that will cover your eyes well. Hair dye in black if you have light hair, bleach if it’s in a dark color. A change of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a backpack you’ve never worn or used. Edit: these don’t have to be new as in unused. In fact if it’s used, it will probably stand out less.

    Above all, remember this isn’t permanent. Fascism will break itself eventually, even if the rest of us are unable to.

        Actually, that brings up other things.

        I would also suggest shoes that have been worn, not by you, and sized bigger or half size smaller than your current shoe.

        If you wear jewelry? Now you don’t.

        If you don’t wear jewelry? Get some magnetic nose/earrings/lip things.

        If you have tattoos, for the love of everything, cover them. Tattoos are probably easier to identify someone than their own face.

    This sounds like the perfect time to throw trans people under a bus so Gavin Newsom can be elected. Solidarity only goes one way, right?

    Gavin Newsom: As a liberal, I oppose subjecting trans people to forced medical investigations and research. I only want them detained.

    This shit is exactly what we’ve been warning for the last decade and every rightweiner and “”“”““centrist””“”" toned it down for years, saying stupid stuff like “nah they cant do that” YES THEY CAN IF THEY ALLOW THE AUTHORITARIANIST FASCIST GOVERNMENT TO GET AWAY WITH IT YOU DIPSHIT

    One time in ages someone who is allegedly trans do a massive shooting along with the 99.9% of white cisgender males who did it before. But the trans community is the one to blame now? Are you fucking serious? It doesn’t mean anything for you the SEVERAL TIMES it was done by a cisgender male? Who are you trying to fool? Its the most pathetic scapegoating I’ve seen in my entire life and the worst part is that the stupids will fall for it

    I remember when calling out a bigoted automatically made you a “sjw” and now I get why people were so defensive. With everyone against our pure existence is kinda hard to don’t be defensive and paranoid, specially if reincarnated Shittler and followers are round.

    The people who were mocking us when people was warning about bigoted politicians honestly doesn’t deserve nothing, not our attention, neither the oxygen they breath. But is thanks to they’re constant minimizing of fascism that we’re on this point. So I hope for a very pleasant revenge once we’re able to.

    But for MAGAs and adjacents I just hope for a very painful death. These dipshits can burn in hell.

    Thank god I don’t live on the US, but I still fear the moment when my country is gonna go backwards too.
