    While I don’t disagree that genocides across the world is something I’m more concerned with than bathroom policies; I am as a transperson still quite concerned with that as well. it’s not like both can’t be important.

    I also don’t see any american politics or establishment that would ever aknowledge US warcrimes, genocide supportion or anything similar - wouldn’t any american politician saying america kinda sucks just really lose an election?

    not that we shouldn’t abolish the state, MIC and all that shit anyways

      Good point, comrade. And internal and external brutalization goes hand in hand. But the US empire is sunsetting, approaching midnight. The race to create alternatives beyond what was yesterday starts today ♥️

      It’s not just bloody bathroom policies though. It’s a wide-ranging ban on trans people being able to exist in public. It’s a criminalisation of their existence (“all trans women are drag performers, drag performers aren’t allowed around minors”). It’s a ban on life-saving medical care (HRT). It’s a president that allowed one million people to die unnecessary deaths due to deliberate inaction, and spreading of disinformation. With disabled people vastly overrepresented in that group, who if you’ll remember were the first people targeted and exterminated by the Nazis.

      Just because they aren’t dropping bombs to do these things doesn’t make it any less of a genocide. Besides, that would hurt “the good ones” bc the US isn’t segregated the way Palestine is.
