I'll never forgive the people who worked to put this fascist in power again.

Blatantly unconstitutional, and he knows it. But the point isn't to win on this issue, it's to move the Overton window a little more and to sow more chaos.

There's just no words for this level of evil.

The book burning and internet crackdown will surely start soon. Kiss the first amendment goodbye.

Being an educator in this day and age seems so difficult, we are taught all the studies and theories of healthy child development, how to promote healthy social emotional learning, but we must fight parents and increasely the law to maintain a safe, healthy social environmental layer.

Good educators are already beaten down from so many things and have become rare, but I know most of my colleagues and friends have no intention of bending knee to this and policies aimed at hurting students we fight for, and I desperately hope this sentiment is shared by many across our country.

I'll leave this here...from 3 days ago: Teacher asks ICE to raid his school, says many students 'don't even speak English'

Thanks, I wasn't depressed enough, but that really did the trick!

there are many more fully resisting each purge attempt. shits getting dark af right now, but ~~dispair~~ despair cannot be an option.

get out and find community. I did a thing two days ago. stopped by one of the only houses in my neighborhood that openly opposed the trump collective before the election. let them know I (and my fam) were here if they needed anything. we shared ideas and history. face to face. in realtime. and we will be checking up on each other moving forward.

edit: curnt speeeel.

That’s the point, that’s what they want and they want good teachers to be sick of it and leave so they can either put some uncertified person in your place or none at all and keep education for private schools. Trumpy said it himself, he loved the uneducated. It’s sadly all part of their plan to keep critical thinkers at bay so they can do whatever they want and nobody bats an eye.

This really is reminiscent of early Nazi Germany, with an obsession over trans people (like Jews), and the idea that they're the root of so much evil, and the constant implication that things would be better if they just go away...

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 43 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The Nazis didn't start by rounding up the Jews, they started with the "sexual deviants". The parallel is a lot closer than you think.

Transgender people in Nazi Germany

[-] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, and while you are absolutely correct, let's also not forget that the early victims consisted not just of sexual deviants, but also of journalists, teachers, scientists, artists, etc. Basically any kind of intellectual, anyone who could threaten the propaganda machine. And political opponents, of course. Oh and books. Don't forget books. And disabled people.

Let's see. Who is Trump attacking? Transgender people? Check. Teachers? Check. Scientists? Check. Political opponents? Check Intellectuals in general? Check. Anti-intellectualism has been going strong for a while now of course. Books (information in general)? Check. Librarians? Check. Disabled people? Not sure about this one.

Trump and his cronies have watched a few WW2 documentaries and thought they were blueprints. His racism/bigotry might have a different prime target, but the whole playbook is a copy.

In the executive order issued Wednesday evening, titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 schooling,” Trump directs the attorney general to work with local and state officials to investigate teachers who “unlawfully facilitat[e] the social transition of a minor student.” The order defines “social transitioning” to include using a trans student’s name and pronouns, recognizing a student as nonbinary, or allowing them to use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity.

Ordinary people are going to have to start accepting the risk and actually fighting back. They're a week and a half in, and already ordering Americans not to even recognise the existence of trans and nonbinary children, on threat of prosecution. It's not just about denying them healthcare now (which in itself is terrible), it's about preventing trans kids knowing anyone even sees them for who they are, or that they are seen and loved. The only outcome will be depression, loneliness and suicide, and Republicans want your kids dead if they don't fit some very narrow mold they've pulled out of their own violent insecurities.

People need to fight now. Each day people lie low and wait to see where this is going, the chances of ever fighting back get slimmer.

What

The

Actual

Fuck?

By supporting they mean what? Calling the kid the name they want to be called by?

They don't necessarily need to explicitly teach gender and racial studies, whatever. But don't tell my kids' teachers they can't be courteous to the kids. The kids don't care one bit when someone who was a girl comes back saying they are a boy, they are nonchalant as fuck about it.

You have lost this round, conservatives. The generation who will raise the next generation is already grown up with more reasonable teaching and parents who model tolerance, there are too many of us for you to be able to control us.

Go back to your lairs and work on some other evil plan.

“No transgender, no operations—you know, they take your kid—there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” He added, “At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens.”

Gotta wonder if he's manufacturing reality or if he's also caught up in a manufactured reality.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 44 points 3 weeks ago

I can't believe there's a single person who believes that children are being snuck into hospitals to just have a quick 20,000 dollar surgery that takes months to fully recover from during lunch and sneaking them home without anyone noticing

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 16 points 3 weeks ago

If they had critical thinking skills, we wouldn't have Trump as president.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 40 points 3 weeks ago

It's definitely both.

He's a conman by nature, not by intelligence.

He inherently knows he has to manufacture lies to get what he wants, but he's very clearly not an actually intelligent person and you can clearly tell sometimes that he's 100% bought into some conspiracy theories, the same way any dumb person would. The guy's brain is mostly fried, but the conman in his nature is still there. Will be until he's 6 feet under.

Supporting people is lawful.

Whether the laws he passes are legitimate, up for debate.

If we don't ban trans people, then Trump could end up mistakenly raping a dude, and we can't have that! What would he even grab them by?

They already made women second class citizens. Now they're moving on to vulnerable minorities.

Sound like any other examples from history?

I'd say the alarms have started going off, but they've been going off for quite some time now. Deaf and dumb Americans as a whole can't hear them though.

But what does “discriminatory equity ideology” actually mean? The order defines it as “ideology that treats individuals as members of preferred or disfavored groups, rather than as individuals, and minimizes agency, merit, and capability in favor of immoral generalizations.”

Oh for fucks sake. That literally describes how racism, sexism, and bigotry work: by treating people as part of a preferred or disfavored group instead of individuals.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

But what does “discriminatory equity ideology” actually mean?

In reality it means anything that challenges white cishet male supremacy. But they'll couch it in the doublespeak of meritocracy.

So guys, unrelated question.

Say I have a bear that isn't a protected species that wanders around the area. Say I'm a lot of bit nervous of this bear destroying stuff towards the edge of my property, but my property edge is pretty damn far.

What kind of equipment would I need to take care of this bear, if the agencies and law enforcement wont do anything to protect me or my vulnerable neighbors from this bear?
