"Trans prisoners in the federal system are being rounded up and taken from their housing units, with the understanding they may be rehoused in the wrong unit soon." (www.youtube.com)

Statistically, 58% of trans women that are placed in male units will be raped.

Here's the call to action as to not violate rule 3:

"If you have anybody on the inside, make sure they and their attorneys have copies of all their legal paperwork. You can also spread news of this (but make sure to focus on facts and fighting rumors. I will always do my best to post updates that come directly from the inside either from Kara herself or from counsel.)"

The title and call to action are from the video description, there is more information about this there.

The election that handed the country over to fascists was the Democratic primary in 2020. Democrats had a chance to change and doubled down on third-way neoliberal bullshit. Neoliberalism has never been an effective counter to a rising fascist movement.

Democrats made the mistake of thinking that Trump was the root of the problem and that defeating him in 2020 would somehow turn back the clock to the late 90s / early 2000s. All they did is put us right back into the cycle that spawned this fascist movement in the first place. In the process they lost the youth which is going to haunt this country and the world for many decades.
