The fact of the matter is that even if we removed all dehumanizing immigration restrictions, the vast majority of people would stay where they are because barring overwhelming danger most people don't like uprooting themselves to move to a strange place where they don't know anybody
Despite all the noise about “mass exodus”, 51% of African emigrants move within Africa. Only 3% of the African population lives outside their home country, compared to 8.5% of Europeans living outside theirs.

This administration specializes in fearmongering, not facts.
The facts: 86% of trans youth report s*cidal ideation and 56% have attempted to end their lives. Anti trans laws increase attempts by ~72%. <1% report regretting GAC.
If they are trying to protect children, science says they are wrong.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers.
I use social media to talk to people about fish.
When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish.
When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.

Women, in particular, know how fragile rights can be - how hard-won progress can be rolled back if we do not defend it.
