Autumn Hill (a trans woman) was sentenced to 50 years of prison in a men’s facility for attending the Prairieland anti-ICE protest. She left before shots were fired. She did nothing but legally exercise her first amendment rights.

Reminder that trans people are considered "probable domestic terrorists" by this administration.

The real terrorists are Trump and his administration.

They are a symptom of a deeper problem.

Ironically, trump might be the only reason America even has an out. Groups like the heritage Foundation have been building the machinery in the shadows for decades. Trump came along and found it. Instead of going along, he grabbed the reins and shouted YEAH HARR! before it was fully ready.

They scrambled badly in his first term, they are using his 2nd to try and lock things in, with what they have in place.

Basically, dealing with trump is like kicking a mushroom fruit, and calling it a day. It will just grow back, unless you tear its hidden tendrils out completely.
