solarbirdI’ve said many times that not one word – not one word – of fundamentalist propaganda has changed in my entire life, and it’s absolutely true. It’s always the same lies, it’s always the same deception, it’s always the same bad faith. The only thing that changes is the targets, and somehow that resets people’s minds and they treat it as something new when it is 100% not.
Don’t believe me? Here’s a fundamentalist flyer from 1980. It’s a great example. Same lies, same insinuations, same bullshit… different target.
In other news:
In US, three anti-transgender bills also oppose alterhumans. Yep, they’re targeting furries. One tries to cast a broader net and in doing so targets otherkin. I stress: these are actual laws moving through actual red state legislatures and likely to pass in one form or another.
They will make us all illegal (again) if they can.
The New York Times is reportedly bringing in reporters who signed the open letter about their bias anti-trans coverage for disciplinary actions. If you don’t think they’re institutionally anti-trans in specific – and trust me, anti-LGBT in general historically – then you’re in denial. (See also: how they did the same thing during the Nazi era and that holocaust.)
Christian Nationalism, the modern name for Dominionism, is making itself very plainly known at this point, and letting it be known that they absolutely consider all LGBT people to be abominations. The latest loud, fashist, and proud version is the National Association of Christian Legislators, working first to ban abortion nationally and force LGBT people into hiding.
And since they’re Christian fascists, yes, I’m including this in both updates.
Florida’s book banning isn’t slowing down, reaching now to the rather famous children’s books about penguins, And Tango Makes Three.
It’s always true even if something of a cliche, but in this case it’s more literal than usual: abortion rights in Wisconsin are functionally on the ballot in this April’s special state Supreme Court election. You literally have a Supreme Court candidate who thinks women are people, and another Supreme Court candidate who will vote to end abortion rights and gods know what else along the way. It’s that clear-cut, making this functionally a referendum on women’s rights.
If you’re in Wisconsin, pay attention and vote.
