These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.
They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

The lasting way to fight fascism—and the thing each of us can do—is to liberate your mind from the fascist framework. Stop being frightened of the things that fascists say are frightening. Start looking at those things as liberation. Fear the things fascists say make us safe. See them as prisons.

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”
every time someone says something like "there weren't trans people when I was a kid" or some shit about trans people being a new thing because WOKE all I can think is "motherfucker Dog Day Afternoon was made in 1975"

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Out today: The case is the first time the government has ever filed terrorism charges against “antifa”—a decentralized ideological movement—and a federal jury trial that began February 17 is the first major test of the Trump admin’s campaign to label left-wing activists as domestic terrorists.
The ‘Antifa Scare’ Goes on Trial in North Texas
As nine of the "Prairieland 19" face their days in court, the broader constitutional rights of left-wing activists may hang in the balance.

Make sure you tell your offline friends and family about this too, especially if they live in red states. Every call in a red state is more effective than a social media post in a blue one
BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

Reminder that many of these trans bathroom bills are intentionally structured by conservatives so they can also be used as attacks on their area’s unhoused population. They essentially force the mass closure of publicly available bathrooms to avoid lawsuits.
Transgender bathroom ban bills are now expanding to private businesses.
First, Kansas bill creates bathroom bounty hunters that could target trans people in any business.
Now, Idaho is hearing a bill today that lets you sue a private business if it lets trans people pee.
Our latest story.

Trans Bathroom Ban Bills Now Expanding To Private Businesses
Earlier last week, Kansas passed a bathroom bounty bill that could target private businesses. Now, Idaho will hear a similar bill that is more explicit that private businesses are also impacted.

it’s insane that a decade ago we all agreed that giving mass shooters the attention they desired was a bad thing but now because rightwingers will quite literally lie about the shooter every single time we all have to be acutely aware of the shooters intentions and ideology
