@donmelton@mstdn.social is an assault on human rights ... and she is right, the blood of the suicides they cause will stain their churches, their political seats, their communities ...

@donmelton@mstdn.social These intolerant bigots don’t want to give trans folk any legitimacy, not even to life. This is their religion now, back to the Bronze Age where stoning “the other” to death was considered the moral imperative. They believe in a god that is all about hate, vengeance and fear. They talk about trans folks (and LGBQ+) in the same way Nazis talked about Jewish folks, dehumanizing them to make it easier for society to discount their lives. Concentration camps for migrants, causing medical care to be inaccessible and silencing opposition is causing increases in suicides and provoking violence. When Representative Zephyr said they have blood on their hands, it wasn’t hyperbole, it was fact.

@donmelton@mstdn.social One simple rule, treat others as you would wish to be treated, if you don't want it done to yourself, don't do it to others. Basic, simple to understand, easy to accomplish and yet unattainable for many. We can't seem to grow up.

@donmelton@mstdn.social I do have a question. Every day, literally EVERY DAY, for years now, posts/toots/tweet/whatever, reports how gop/maga/conservatives (aka fascists) remove rights, make life harder for everybody. Still millions continue to vote them and gave power to continue to damage people, mostly honest people. For years. Clearly something is wrong, how is possible so many people continue to support this ? How they can't seems to see the reality ? Denouncing that alone is not working. There are other alternatives to improve the situation than just post the day by day bad thing conservatives are doing ? Seems to me we are preaching to the choir, who is honest and is not a damn greed rich SOB or a total idiot, knows what is wrong and what is good. What about the "others" ? Trumpers, gqpers, racists, etc. ? will continue to support who want to damage and destroy, not who wants to build. And I'm not sure anymore is a minority ! They are the problem. How to solve that ?

@donmelton@mstdn.social Democracy was being assaulted long b4 this issue surfaced. Americans denied legal pain medications simply because they suffer with chronic illnesses, for example. #opioidhysteria #CPP

@donmelton@mstdn.social When bigotry supplants your oath of office… When the needs of the people are secondary to your hate… When all that matters is pleasing your overloads… You end up with a blueprint for the New America

@donmelton@mstdn.social Here’s one action people can do that takes about a minute — contact the US Department of Education about protections for trans athletes in schools (more info and draft comments in the linked post) https://mastodon.art/@inarticulatequilter/110237682229563885

@donmelton@mstdn.social I would definitely stand up for a trans person in public. My heart breaks to see my trans brothers and sisters looking so fearful in public. I want to smile at them to assure them that I'm a friend, but they never look up 😪😥

@donmelton@mstdn.social I don't care if anyone is gay, trans or whatever. No one deserves to be singled out for possible transgressions against them. And to use a supposed democratic process in that interference is simply mind-boggling un-american! OMG, Becky!!! Look at how I am offended!
