How long until this evil administration forces some citizens to sew a yellow star or pink triangle on their clothes?

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 4 points 6 days ago

Yellow star is so last world war.

It’ll definitely be pink triangles and moon and star this go around

The GOP read the Bolshevik, CCP and Nazi playbooks.

In Oldspeak, this might be rendered:

CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. (Including gender, transgender, pregnant person, LGBT, and more)

I really hope some people are archiving stuff as fast as possible...

On review I agree, we need better sources before we can be confident of this story.

Edit: It seems to be real.

Thank you. I'm surprised, this is the science community and I'm downvoted for asking for a source. I thought this community valued proof.

I'm so fucking scared. They've inhibited our movement by fucking with passports, they've defined us as dishonest and dishonorable in the EO kick us out of the military, they've codified the notion that our gender identity constitutes sexual deviance and poses a threat to children, they've attacked proven life-saving care, with a focus on children and an impact on adults.

and now they're trying to book-burn us out of existence.

this is systematic dehumanization, the track record of which is grim.

There's just straight up not enough of us to do this on our own.

If people don't start standing up for us, we're fucked.

[–] triptrapper@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine where your head is at right now.

All people need is a focus for resistance, a group or a leader to join. Most people are disgusted by this, and despite the election result I still believe most people would rather see trans people happy than suffering. And as the visibility of trans people increases, more and more cis people have been discovering that they know and care about trans people in their own lives. That's why the hateful fringe feels it's so urgent to shut trans rights down. They know they have to push people back into fear and silence before transphobia becomes uncommon. And they know they have to silence people talking about these matters to make organized resistance possible. But the quiet is largely people not knowing how to connect and resist, not a lack of desire to resist. It's time for organized resistance and the first movement that gets going will find many supporters.

We also need some organization around getting LGBTQ+ refugees out of the USA and into other countries. The restrictions on passports are very ominous.

An attack on science is an attack on us all. They are trying to erase science they dont agree with. This is Christian fascism - welcome to giliad.

Anyone in the US please organise - join an anti religious influence group, protest, disobey. You must fight back.

Also, for those leaking info, please do better than the OOP of the screen shot contained in this post. Not saying this is particularly sensitive and I don’t even know if their intent was to remain anonymous. But just a reminder to think about the little things like the “You forwarded this message at 11:17” because if anyone cares, they could easily find out who forwarded that email at that time. I would guess that most government entities could pretty easily come up with justification to fire anyone based on the public dissemination of intergovernmental emails, regardless of whether the contents were specifically noted as sensitive.

I only felt compelled to comment this because this is the second post I have seen in the last day or so with an identifying feature like that. There are a lot of government employees who probably can’t stomach working under this administration, and I get it. But there is an argument to make that those of you who oppose the administrations stances can do more good from within, or at least do your best to minimize the harm that would be caused by the bootlicking henchmen you will be replaced with.

Literally speedrunning the Nazi handbook.

Back up everything. Don't let it be memory-holed! Holy crap.

If you have the space for it, please consider helping re-host the Anna’s Archive backup.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Is linking to Anna's Archive allowed here? Guess I'll find out.

https://annas-archive.org/torrents

If I had the space and a VPN, I would help maintain it. The least I can do is point others towards the path
