A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now β€œWhat the hell is transgender?”
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with β€œThat’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.

β€˜Transgender’ putting  describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly.

You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Are all politicians the same?

Not one Republican lawmaker is standing up for the Constitution, for due process & for human rights.

It's only Democratic lawmakers standing up for democracy, for rule of law & against #ICELawlessness, injustice & corruption.

Let your kids know there is a difference!

It was sane-washing musk’s primary role in suppressing the pro-democracy movement in Turkey, which got a lot of VERY GOOD HUMANS jailed & murdered. πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡·

Abolishing #ICE is now the MODERATE position. They need to be prosecuted.
The Nazis didn’t get to use the β€œI was just following orders” excuse and neither should these people. #DHS is actively recruiting the worst of the worst for these jobs. Sociopaths.

ICE & DHS Staff have dehumanized those exercising their Constitutional Rights to the point they feel no remorse. AND then they lie about what they have done. We should NOT let this Nazism metastasize.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

The US Coast Guard is officially downgrading swastikas and nooses, symbols tied to fascism, white supremacy, and the slaughter of millions, from β€˜hate’ to merely β€˜potentially divisive.’

This is unbelievably tone deaf. It will takes effect on 12/15/2025.

AOC to Pablo Reports: A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity. To remove that designation indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.
