Demand that the targeted group is demarcated and identifiable in public
Target group perceived as being against Christians endangering core family values
Segragation of public facilities

World leaders turn blind eye due to upholding prejudice themselves
Messianic leader with a persecution fetish promises will gas them all, no one pays attention or thinks they mean it literally
Institutional takeover with bigoted fanatics placed in key positions in political and medical instritutions
Mainstream news outlet spreading inflammatory misinformation, propaganda and hate towards the targeted group
Well funded AstroTurf grassroots groups operate on country, neighborhood, school level

There are two kinds of people. Those unconvinced , who sit on the fence until they see mass murder being added to this horrible list, in order to be convinced.
And those who get that end stage capitalism leverages transphobia as a convenient gateway to fascism.
The time to take action is now.

By sunsetting Section 230, the US Congress could be about to break the internet as we know it
The proposal to Sunset Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act would eliminate the protections granted to internet platform providers from liability from users' actions
This legislation would deal a critical blow to the fundamentally American tradition of free speech and the internet as we know and love it
"To the extent that this is an argument between left and right, it is the left right now, most often raising the complaint that its speech is being suppressed. They see students arrested on trespassing charges as being denied their right to protest peacefully against Israel's recent action, and for many its record over decades."
"We must consider the possibility that what is really happening is that the language of free speech has been co-opted by dominant social groups, distorted to serve their interests, and used to silence the marginalised. All too often when people cry for justice, and are represented as threats to free speech, what is really meant is just, be quiet."
Have to call this out.
This bill has already passed the house.
A trojan horse of a bill that will undermine the first Amendment and the people's rights.
What's in this bill that fascist Republicans are thrilled about?
#SCOTUS gave a win to the #NRA in its #FreeSpeech dispute w/a #NY state ofcl it accused of coercing banks & insurers to avoid doing business w/the influential #gun advocacy group.
A reminder for those who sit on the fence regarding whether “code is speech” — global access to strong cryptography would not be where it is today without a 1997 project to publish — as a book — the entire source code of PGP 5.0i in an OCR-friendly format, in such a way as to emphatically subvert the US Government export controls on cryptography by the power of the 1st Amendment:
Interesting history is documented in the links below; I’m particularly taken with an observation from Ian Grigg in the first link:
The story has a sad ending. In the last months of 1999, the US government released the controls on exporting free and open cryptography. Hailed by all as a defeat, it was really a tactical withdrawal from ground that wasn’t sustainable. The cypherpunks lost more: with the departure of their clear enemy, they dispersed over time, and emerging security and financial cryptography entrepreneurs lost our coolness factor and ready supply of cryptoplumbers. Lots of crypto projects migrated back to the US, where control was found by other means. The industry drifted back to insecure-practice-by-fiat. Buyers stopped being aware of security, and they were setup for the next failure and the next and the next… Strategic victory went to the US government, which still maintains a policy of keeping the Internet insecure by suppressing crypto where and when it can.

"The new rule in the GOP-controlled House is that you can’t make mention of Donald Trump’s many civil and criminal trials, but you can simply insult the physical appearance of fellow members."
“Since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, academics in fields including politics, sociology, Japanese literature, public health, Latin American and Caribbean studies, Middle East and African studies, mathematics, education, and more have been fired, suspended, or removed from the classroom for pro-Palestine, anti-Israel speech.” #mccarthyism#palestine#IsraelWarCrimes#FreeSpeech#AcademicFreedom
“What I saw was students linking arms, hugging each other while being brutalized by the police. I think the only violence we saw that day was from the police.”
