    I’m so sorry to every trans person trapped living in a red state. I fear it’s only going to get worse before and if it gets better.

    Given the new authority granted to POTUS by SCOTUS, Biden could now order that judge to receive involuntary top and bottom surgery + hormone therapy.

    Now YOU get to experience gender dysphoria, you greasy shit stain.

      I mean, probably not? That doesn’t sound like an “official act”. He could just order the US armed forces to indefinitely confine him in a black site, though. Commanding the military is in the Constitution, it’s definitely official

    Are there countries that will take in trans asylum seekers from the U.S.? Maybe a list of them to post in these threads would be in order.

      Erin in the Morning does one for the various United States, if it gets so bad that federal regulations attack us, I wouldn’t be surprised to see cities and states declaring themselves official sanctuaries like they do for immigration

        Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s safe enough. What would stop a Trump Gestapo from marching into one of those cities? People need places to seek asylum where Trump’s regime can’t touch them.

      Fuck that FlyingSquid I’m not running. My boys are LGBTQ and guess what I am going use my second admenment rights to protect them.

      Lets not run I know your in same boat as me in a way except I’m not Jewish but goddammit lets not run lets fight. The fuck if I’m going stand back and watch the same shit that happen in Germany happen here. You shouldn’t either.

      We have the play book we know where this is leading, so we should have advantage to stop it. First we will try voting this November if that doesn’t work then it’s the next steps.

    As the enemy of humanity tightens its noose around our throats. Conservatism is death. It always has been.

    I predict Loper-Bright is gonna reverberate through lots of issues. This is just the beginning, sadly.

    The constitution is just a bunch of laws. How can an official act by a POTUS possibly be bound by it?

    Honestly, how can any court review any law signed by a POTUS? Isn’t signing legislature an official act?
