Euphemistic language is a tool often used to sanitize grave injustices. When referring to the WWII incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry, it is important to use the correct terminology: concentration camps, not relocation centers; forced removal, not evacuation; citizens, not non aliens.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

especially listen to the language being used. calling lgbtqia folks mentally ill, etc.
Essentially it’s fruit of the same tree. They’re still using ableism and applying it to trans people. Anyone who defies “normalcy” is considered disabled by their society whether they have a disability or not.
hi Imani! do you have an explanation for why trans people have become *the* scapegoat for this administration rather than e.g. disabled people? (since eugenics/fascism rise during a pandemic, I thought more backlash would be against disabled people/those who the RW think "make the nation weak")
