the recognition of a state that excludes its right to have a standing army while also actively funding the foreign army massacring its people is worse than worthlessâit's a ruse intended to publicly absolve those responsible for genocide without any material change to business as usual

The Trump playbook is to attack those who they think no one will stand up for. The way to stop Trumpâs authoritarian coup is to prove him wrong. We need to all vocally stand up for our trans neighbors and protect them from attack.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.
