Demand international action. The U.S. must be recognized as a human rights violator. Politicians pushing these laws must face travel bans, frozen assets, and international sanctions. Countries must open their doors and asylum systems to #Trans and #Nonbinary #refugees from the United States. Disrupt the enablers. Corporations, donors, and media networks backing anti-trans laws must face economic and social destruction.— (16/18)

Push Christianity to expel its extremists. If the Christian community will not reject the fascists within their ranks, then the entire religion must be held accountable.To make it clear: This does not stop with trans people. If they succeed here, they will come for the rest of you next.— (17/18)

Wake the F*ck Up. This Is It.You will either look back and say you fought like hell to stop this, or you will be the one wondering why you didn’t act before it was too late.Wake up. Open your eyes. See what’s happening. And then do something about it.Because if you don’t, history will remember you as someone who stood by and let it happen.And when they come for you—and they will—there will be no one left to stand with you.— (18/18)

Trump's Plan to Export U.S. Citizens to Foreign Prisons Isn’t Just Lawless—It’s a Genocidal Trial BalloonBefore we get to the Oval Office hot mic moment that shocked the nation, we need to confront something even more horrifying: it’s already happening—and it’s happening in outright defiance of the law.Kilara Abrégo García, a father and legal U.S.— #Women #Nonbinary #Trangender #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA (1/17)

resident, was falsely accused by the Trump administration of gang affiliation and secretly deported to El Salvador. There, he was imprisoned in one of President Nayib Bukele’s notorious mega-prisons—facilities condemned by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International for:• Torture• Indefinite detention• Lack of legal processBut this wasn’t just an injustice. It was a blatant violation of a standing federal court order that explicitly prohibited the U.S.— (2/17)

government from deporting García to El Salvador.After the deportation, the Supreme Court reviewed the case and issued a unanimous 9–0 ruling, holding:• His deportation was unlawful• The U.S. must facilitate García’s return• His case must proceed as if the illegal deportation had never occurredTrump defied that ruling—and he plans to continue defying it.— (3/17)

Bukele, emboldened by that lawlessness, refuses to release García, mocking the situation by asking: “How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?”Let that sink in:• An innocent man was deported—illegally—into a foreign prison camp• A binding Supreme Court order was ignored• The president responsible remains unaccountable• A foreign dictator is holding him with zero legal basisThis is not theoretical. It is not politics as usual.— (4/17)

This is a full-blown constitutional crisis.And how we react to it will determine whether the United States continues to exist as a democratic republic under the rule of law—or descends into dictatorial autocracy under the whims of one man.That is not hyperbole. That is the reality in front of us.Now, emboldened by the lack of consequences, Trump wants to escalate.— (5/17)

During a recent Oval Office meeting, he was caught on a hot mic telling Bukele: “The homegrowns are next… You gotta build about five more places.”“Homegrowns,” in Trump’s own words, means American citizens. He confirmed in that same meeting that he is exploring the legal feasibility of deporting U.S.-born individuals to Bukele’s prison camps.He added: “If it’s a homegrown criminal, I have no problem… Pam is studying if we can do that.”— (6/17)

The “Pam” he referred to is Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General and longtime Trump ally. Her presence wasn’t incidental—it was strategic.Trump wasn’t spitballing policy; he was issuing direction to legal counsel to find a way to make this plan happen.This wasn’t a joke. It wasn’t a rhetorical flourish.It was a command—delivered with chilling clarity.Bondi’s involvement proves this threat isn’t hypothetical—it’s being actively developed. — (7/17)

Trump is preparing to weaponize the law to strip American citizens of their rights and exile them to foreign authoritarian prisons. If a legal loophole exists, he’ll exploit it. If it doesn’t, he’ll try to create one.This is not a policy dispute between the left and right. It’s a roadmap to dictatorship—a trial balloon for mass exile without trial, built on the same authoritarian logic that led to García’s unlawful deportation.— (8/17)

And those of us who are marginalized already understand how this always ends: They start with “the worst,” and then they come for the rest of us.Trump’s record speaks for itself.His first term brought:• A ban on transgender military service• Rollbacks of healthcare protections• Erasure of LGBTQIA+ content from federal resources• Executive orders enabling discrimination under the guise of religious freedom— (9/17)

For years, the far right has:• Dehumanized us—calling us predators, threats, mentally ill, or “not real”• Banned our healthcare• Criminalized our identities• Platformed voices openly calling for our eradicationAnd now, they’ve escalated that campaign into law.In just the past year, over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the United States—more than 130 of them targeting transgender healthcare alone. — (10/17)

As of early 2025, 120 new anti-trans bills have already been filed across 13 states, a 150% increase from the year before. At least 27 states have passed laws banning gender-affirming care for minors.This is a genocide on a national scale.It is designed to dismantle recognition, destroy access to care, criminalize support systems, and drive us out of public life entirely. — (11/17)

Teachers are being threatened with prosecution for respecting a trans student’s name. Nonprofits are closing programs for fear of state retaliation. Healthcare providers are facing bans under executive orders.And every new law signals that something worse is coming.Now, Trump is laying the foundation to exile Americans who don’t fit his vision of the nation—and let’s be honest: trans people would be first in line.— (12/17)

So when Trump says “homegrowns are next,” trans people know exactly what that means.He’s already done it once. He’s promising to do it again.And this time, he won’t stop at gang members, immigrants, and trans people—anyone who opposes him will be targeted.— (13/17)

During World War II, German pastor Martin Niemöller famously wrote: “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”It’s not just a quote. It’s a warning.— (14/17)

• First they came for the gang members.• Then they came for the immigrants.• Next they’re coming for the trans people.• In the end, they’ll come for anyone who dares to object.This is how fascism advances: through selective silence, weaponized fear, and the erosion of legal boundaries. The public is tested with each new outrage. If no one stops it, the circle of victims widens.History doesn’t always repeat, but it rhymes.— (15/17)

And right now, we’re rhyming with 1930s Germany in every meaningful way.• This isn’t campaign rhetoric.• This isn’t a gaffe.• This isn’t a drill.This is a president defying a 9–0 Supreme Court ruling, openly plotting to strip American citizens of their constitutional rights, and conspiring to exile them to foreign authoritarian prison camps—with the encouragement of a foreign dictator.It is the literal dismantling of the rule of law.And it is happening right now.— (16/17)

We must speak plainly:• Targeting trans people is genocide.• Exporting U.S. citizens to foreign torture camps is a constitutional collapse—and a crime against humanity in the making.• And Donald Trump has already begun both.We cannot look away.We cannot wait.This is the fight for whether democracy survives. Speak now—before there’s no one left to speak for you.— (17/17)
