As Kansas no-notice, no-grace-period revokes trans peoples' IDs and birth certificates, many people are looking to relocate to other states. But how long until everywhere in the US is Kansas?

But then again, how long until everywhere in the world is Kansas?

It's hard to know, impossible really, but the US sure seems heading there on a fast path.

I know a lot of people are counting on the midterms to turn things around. But there's near zero chance the losing side is going to believe the outcome of the election.

Jan 6th under Trump 1 was a hell of a thing. What about under Trump 2? Hard to imagine an outcome that doesn't escalate from cold to hot civil war, but maybe I'm just jaded or not very imaginative.

Shit times. Wish I had better answers.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber Honestly, it’s not just the US. Friends tell me the UK has almost become uninhabitable, and Australia and Italy are on their way. There is a global fascist movement, and we are one of their stepping stones to ascension. I don’t have good answers either, but sooner or later we’re going to need to come together for support and make a stand.
