Idaho is considering a law that makes leaving the state with your trans teen to provide them with care a felony. And a new Missouri law would prohibit women from leaving the state to get an abortion. I don't know how they want to enforce these, but their attempt should alarm us.

The scariest thing about this part of the pandemic is the bipartisan power establishment is unified in downplaying/not fully responding to what’s happening

A 14 year old child trying on dresses for her quinceañera was killed by LAPD today.
We waste $8 million dollars a day paying for these failed responses.
We’re taught to call 911 for help, but too many ppl get killed after calling.
We need life affirming responses to crises.

This is not the happy promotion/PR move they think it is…
If we truly cared about our kids, transportation to school would be free every. single. day.

We’re way past the point of talking about what’s “reasonable.” Power lines are melting in the heat in Portland. Billionaires are paying no taxes and going to space. Buildings and bridges are collapsing. The only reasonable thing to do is change everything.

I want to sit with what it meant for colonialism to rob cultures of entire genders. Genders that were holy and sacred. The scale of that violence globally is hard to imagine. And today the cultures that colonialism produced try to rob us of sacred, holy genders again and again.

If you are still claiming police needed to kill a child I don't have anything to say to you. Because you're clearly okay with the state murdering kids & that's so far down the road to hell there's no turning back. We can't agree to disagree, we can't discuss it. You have to go.
