    With allies like these on Lemmy who the fuck needs enemies. So anytime we want to throw trans people under the bus just add it to a funding bill? Would y’all be singing the same tune if these provisions targeted gay people? Black? Jewish? At what point does an anti trans law cross the line for y’all? How many rights do we have to lose before you’ll speak up?

      Anytime you want to pass a measure that doesn’t have quite enough sort in congress, you add it to a funding bill.

      It’s the easiest way to add leverage to your demands, with the way our legislature currently works.

      Bro… the genocide. All lines have not only been crossed but erased forever as the Democrats ratchet the USA to the right.

        Bro… the genocide.

        Quote of this century. As we move into Trump 2.0 and the horror thereafter we will have “Bro… the genocide”.

        Right up there with that comic of folks in a post apocalyptic hellscape saying “ but at one point we had profit for shareholders…”

        Throw the baby out with the bath water. Cause bro…
