   You either protect people’s human rights at a constitutional level or you don’t protect them at all. People’s identities – their very existences – are not political playthings. That this is being normalised is disgusting.

   This isn’t just about the US. This can – and it looks increasingly likely that it will – happen anywhere and everywhere.

   Be prepared to shut it all down if and when it does.

   No business as usual in the face of fascism.

   The only folks who work a regular 9 to 5 during fascism are fascists.

     @masto_backdoorbug Read what I said: a regular 9 to 5. As if nothing is wrong. Business as usual. No change in behaviour. Just following orders.

     @aral can't agree with that last statement. Some have no choice, because of the system created. Just saying those people are automatically fascist is so out of touch with reality.

     @aral having trouble with that last sentence in the face of :have to pay child support, see a doctor, and eat food: but sure.

     @magitweeter People protect people’s human rights by enacting constitutional protections is my whole point.
