We are seeing Republican Rhetoric paying off for the bigots, Transpeople are no longer safe
How much do you want to bet some of them saw a Russian psyop of a right winger getting attacked first on Twitter boosted by musk and believed it was real
If they're going to do this anyway, let's make it real.
Police are investigating, but no arrests have been made.
They have surveillance footage and logs of so these people were from when they entered, surely. No arrests means they're choosing to not arrest.
This is MPD we're taking about...
They’re too busy beating up unarmed black civilians.
What the actual fuck. This is beyond words, and I hope those two women heal quickly. They didn't deserve that.
The wastes of human flesh that did this and cheered for it need to be jailed and put on a list like sex offenders. I know there's problems with that system but there's gotta be some kind of action people can do to help trans folks stay safe. A hate crime list would be a way to start.
I don't know about the legality of assembling one outside official channels, but people can pressure their states to make one since the infrastructure is already there.
