I’m so sorry to every trans person trapped living in a red state. I fear it’s only going to get worse before and if it gets better.

Given the new authority granted to POTUS by SCOTUS, Biden could now order that judge to receive involuntary top and bottom surgery + hormone therapy.

Now YOU get to experience gender dysphoria, you greasy shit stain.

I mean, probably not? That doesn’t sound like an “official act”. He could just order the US armed forces to indefinitely confine him in a black site, though. Commanding the military is in the Constitution, it’s definitely official

The military has surgeons. Or, failing that, scissors.

We can make this work! :D

Are there countries that will take in trans asylum seekers from the U.S.? Maybe a list of them to post in these threads would be in order.

Erin in the Morning does one for the various United States, if it gets so bad that federal regulations attack us, I wouldn’t be surprised to see cities and states declaring themselves official sanctuaries like they do for immigration

Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s safe enough. What would stop a Trump Gestapo from marching into one of those cities? People need places to seek asylum where Trump’s regime can’t touch them.

Sure, but I don’t think that’s a salient threat in the near term.

What would stop a Trump Gestapo from marching into one of those cities?

Presumably the human people in the military who would prevent it, at least until removed. And the people in the other branches of government who would object to the deployment of federal troops for an overly offensive purpose against the us itself.

Fuck that FlyingSquid I’m not running. My boys are LGBTQ and guess what I am going use my second admenment rights to protect them.

Lets not run I know your in same boat as me in a way except I’m not Jewish but goddammit lets not run lets fight. The fuck if I’m going stand back and watch the same shit that happen in Germany happen here. You shouldn’t either.

We have the play book we know where this is leading, so we should have advantage to stop it. First we will try voting this November if that doesn’t work then it’s the next steps.

Sorry, the idea that the Jews could have survived the Holocaust if they fought back is a myth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_resistance_in_German-occupied_Europe

Jews did fight back. Millions died anyway. Also 15,000 people accused of being queer whether they were or not, and only a number that low because so few people were out of the closet.

You fight all you want. My daughter is queer and I’m leaving to keep her safe if Trump gets in.

My son is queer and my another son is bi and I will fight because this isn’t Germany this America we the far right has made the second amendment the corner stone of their party. As someone on the far left I am going take full advantage of this and they are going fuck around and find out.

Not only should I not run it is almost impossible for us in America to do so if weren’t well off to do so.

Good luck to you. But lets try and get Biden elected and then after that lets fucking take down both parties from inside if need be.

Good call. Might be good to start a wiki or the like for the purpose so that we can keep it up to date.

The constitution is just a bunch of laws. How can an official act by a POTUS possibly be bound by it?

Honestly, how can any court review any law signed by a POTUS? Isn’t signing legislature an official act?

Executive actions and orders are not laws.

And any law is subject to the constitution. If I write a law that says “all Japanese people must be sent to internment camps,” a court should intervene and say “no, that’s not legal.”
