      How many times have lone Americans fought back against cops and won? The only way to put a brake on this is a massive movement of active solidarity with trans people. Anyone who considers themselves a trans ally (anyone with a heart) needs to make contact with others and organize to support and defend the trans community. Make it difficult for them to turn this nonsense into anything but words on paper. Fund legal and medical aid for trans people. Be ready to obstruct the Gestapo together when the time comes. If you don’t, and try to lay low, the Nazis are still coming for you soon enough.

    Being told you’re a nihilistically violent extremist that should be locked up sure sounds like an impetus to, i dunno, have no hope for the future and in turn be more receptive to extremist actions, even violent ones, no?

      That’s the point.

      If you can push a minority group into desperation, then you get to play the moral high ground when they act out of desperation. It’s not a new trick by any means.

        Nah, even if the minority group doesn’t do anything, “yes they are. They’re being evil and doing evil things just over there where you’re not looking, and that’s why bad things are happening to you. The only way to stop them is to give me power.”

      And if you don’t have a passport they’ll arrest you and send you to a camp for undocumented people. If you try to escape they’ll arrest you and send you to a camp. The only way through is active, organized resistance and defense in large numbers.

    That’s funny. I’ve been defining the FBI and the current administration as embodying “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” as “criminal conduct… in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos.”

    Weird, right?

        Clearly! Hopefully you’ll be driven away!

        To Canada, Portugal, or maybe Malta. Which apparently all have very strong protections for transgender folks. Malta apparently combines that with no murders of trans persons from 2008-2022.

            Unfortunately, a lot of places are…

            Safety and survival are the top priorities, so the furthest from “actually trying to kill you” is ideal IMO. But getting to another country is easier said than done, so its get going to where you can be as safe as you can. If that’s Portugal, do it. If its a blue city in a blue state, do that. If its surviving on a homestead and avoiding all contact possible… Thats still an option.

            One of my friends is planning to go to Toronto for an “extended work trip” her boss is arranging.

            I really fucking hate this stupid timeline.

              Is there any hope that this designation makes it easier for trans Americans to apply for asylum in other countries? I’d love to see Canada step up and welcome trans refugees. We do have our problems though: politics is lurching to the right and the fascist sharks are circling. I worry for my trans friends here too. But we’re mostly not at MAGA levels of insanity, and I hope what we see in the USA shocks Canada out of our drift towards it.

                  I hope Canadian rights campaign groups start to push for the government to recognize that trans people are not safe in the USA and deserve the chance of asylum here.

          Interesting. Malta being a very Catholic country, I would not have guessed it being ahead. It is tiny, though, and there isn’t much employment. But a really lovely little rock. English speaking and with fantastic history. Yes, I may have considered moving there once.

            True, but not relevant to 9/11. I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating every maltreatment on women, children and common people of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam. All that is going on in Palestine for the last 11 months is sufficient to call the wrath of God upon the United States and Israel.

              Oh, the guy who did it denied doing it. And never mind that he later bragged about it.

              There’s overwhelming evidence that Binladen and Zawahiri planned and executed the attack. The only unknown (at least to the public) is how much Saudi government (versus loose-cannon individual) involvement there was. And it’s worth keeping in mind that the Saudi government is run like a poorly-organized family business, where the right hand seldom knows what the left hand is doing (though this is changing since MBS runs a tighter but far more oppressive ship).

                There’s overwhelming evidence that Binladen and Zawahiri planned and executed the attack.

                I wouldn’t say the evidence was overwhelming. The only direct evidence I’ve found is:-

                the two referred to “an incident that would take place in America on, or around, September 11” and they discussed potential repercussions. In another conversation with an associate in Afghanistan, bin Laden discussed the “scale and effects of a forthcoming operation.” These conversations did not specifically mention the World Trade Center or Pentagon, or other specifics

                I’m happy to be more overwhelmed if you have links.
