You can't put toothpaste back in the tube.

You can't erase progress made on black rights.

You can't erase progress made on LGBTQ rights.

You can't erase progress made on women's rights.

Past generations fought, and some gave their lives for these rights. Now, its up to us to preserve them.

They are undeniably doing all they can to roll back rights. But they are also facing heavy resistance and the fight isn't over. I strongly believe 2024 will make or break many their attempts and that few of their efforts will survive the longevity test. Just like those before us, we can't let up.

The unfortunate truth is attacks on anyone "different" have been happening for decades - either out in the open or in secret - and have never stopped. I don't know that they will ever stop because sadly, just like toothpaste can't be put back into a tube, neither can white supremacy or homophobia.

If you haven’t been reading statistics, they increased dramatically under trump and are increasing with the ramped up Christofascist smear campaigns agains Jews, gays , trans people, Asians. “Oh well, can’t stop it” is not an acceptable response to that .

Of course they have increased. TFG essentially gave the worst of the worst permission to act out their worst instincts. So now we're dealing with a full fascist assault on democracy.

They are strongly mistaken though if they think we will sit back quietly while they trample on hard-earned rights.
