Seeing a blatant fascist dismantling and takeover of the government and using it as an opportunity to mostly complain about the left or throw trans people under the bus means you're helping them. No other way to slice it.

This is a few days old now but in the flurry of Elon Treasury news it's getting lost that they are actively trying to erase all mention of anything that could be 'trans' -- making us invisible, and forbidden to mention is getting closer to criminalizing our existence.

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.
