Dear G-d:
When I said that I wondered what watching a dictatorship form would be like, I didn't mean it *this* way!
dictatorship
Fucking #FASCIST! In Dutch we have a word for this, 'kinderbeul'. In English that translates literally to 'child executioner', although it has a slightly different meaning. But this time it's not far from the truth. This week is clearly showing what he is; A FASCIST DICTATOR!
For everyone having a #transgender child or teenager as a family member or friend, or being a transgender child/teenager yourself, if you somehow read this: You have an immense number of allies! 
We've got your back! 
Never forget! 🏳️⚧️
The Guardian: *Trump signs executive order to curtail gender transition for people under 19*
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/28/trump-executive-order-transgender-transition
"Donald Trump has signed another executive order aimed at the transgender community on Tuesday, this time prohibiting gender transitions for people under the age of 19. …"
[Sorry for using the Guardian, but I couldn't find anything reliable non-US so fast. I say this because the Guardian had some negative (opinion) articles in the past.]

This is beyond…
#LeMonde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to #US after a #search of his #phone & #computer revealed messages critical of #Trump's #science cuts, "which [says #CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated.

Today in Labor History September 11, 1973: The CIA helped overthrew the democratically elected government of Allende in Chile. This ended nearly 150 years of democratic rule. Also killed in the coup were folk singer Victor Jara, and American IWW journalist Frank Teruggi. Jara courageously continued singing Venceremos (We Shall Win) while he lay on the ground, hands broken by his torturers, as they slaughtered hundreds in the national stadium. 16 years of military terror followed under Pinochet’s rule. Chilean-American author Isabel Allende is a cousin of the assassinated former president, Salvador Allende. She wrote her debut novel, “House of the Spirits,” while in exile in Venezuela, after fleeing the Pinochet dictatorship.
