Fascists HATE scientists and expertise - and anybody who lets facts and data get in the way https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😒" title="Unerfreutes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Unerfreutes Gesicht">

Fascists will stop at nothing to shut down dissent, and #authoritarian leaders often lean on "law and order" to hold on to power.

Cops won’t save us, but a new vision of safety might!

Say F that by supporting campaigns like #DefundThePolice from @Mvmnt4BlkLives (8/12)

Fascists want us to think trans and queer folks are the "enemy." From military bans, rolled-back rights, and increased violence, they want to put us back into tired gender roles.
