I see a lot of people saying that a person charged with a crime deserves the chance to prove their innocence.

Please stop doing this because you have it backwards and this is really important.

It is ALWAYS the government's burden to prove a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Ken Paxton’s plan
“How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?" is a reaction image commonly used to respond to users pretending to be part of a community that they are clearly unfamiliar with. The image features the actor Steve Buscemi dressed youthfully and holding a skateboard, and is usually subtitled with the tagline. The image is often photoshopped to adapt to a particular subculture, and the phrase is often used in conversation without the image. It’s edited to include random trans symbols including a trans Texas saying “y’all means all” and a badge that says “fuck the cis stem” and a trans hat with the hammer and sickle symbol. Text reads: How do you do fellow transgenders

The victim blaming is crazy! There are no details to any of that so it’s just projection on their part because there are so many alternatives—like what if he was just crazy?! 😭

The important subtext of this is that they don't have enough manpower to carry out their fascist agenda.

If/when they hold recruitment events in your area, you should be prepared to show up and get loud.

Folks have already done this in California and elsewhere.

Homelessness is a policy failure.

President Trump's embrace of cruel and ineffective approaches to homelessness won’t solve the crisis.
Trump orders crackdown on homeless encampments nationwide
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order urging cities and states to clear homeless encampments and move people into treatment centers - a move that advocates for the homeless said would worsen the problem.

Instead of investing in proven solutions, the administration is doubling down on cruel and ineffective policies that strip people of their rights, lock them into dangerous institutions, and punish them for having nowhere else to go.

NYT in 1944:

Clearly the Nazis don't plan to kill all the Jews in the world because after all the phrase above Auschwitz says "Work Will Set You Free," so obviously the intent is forced labor, not extermination

which was EXACTLY THE SAME PLAYBOOK as anti-Black institutional racism is boggling my mind.

The US has exactly one way to do bigotry but somehow we just REFUSE TO SEE IT. We insist on failing the open book test over and over again.

In both the US and the UK, parents-rights activists present trans acceptance as harmful to their children and advocate against gender-affirming treatments.

This story describes the abuse and extremism beneath the surface, and the harm such families are doing to trans adolescents and young adults.
