Raquel has always been opportunistic and tone deaf but this is really bad. Is it worth the 20 trans teens that will read this if you're just blatantly misleading the situation for literally everyone else?
today a new trump order calls on the federal government to use consumer protection laws against providers of trans care
you're not gonna be allowed for many reasons to openly talk about how literally _anyone_ who voted for Trump wants trans people raped and murdered but you should nonetheless literally never shut up about it.

"covidtelpro," much like "private taxi for my burrito," is how you know one side has lost in a "stop talking about this forever" kinda way.
Gonna have to start my morning with a cup of burnt roadside chicory like some goddamned Confederate war orphan because someone got their fee-fees hurt.
