Caroline Davis was about to make a mistake that could have severely damaged her car. Then a stranger stepped in, with an offer of help that brought her to tears.

I never really liked them but any mention of them & I am again 7 years old & standing out in the rain in solidarity with the man and them.

She was a girl, in fact, just 15 years old; after her arrest, she became pregnant.

11.03.2025 01:20 โ ๐ 13433 ๐ 3729 ๐ฌ 157 ๐ 116"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."
I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.
This is a campaign of eradication.

Funny how he isnโt wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
