Yeah, and it's also worth noting in ways that are very bleak.

Trans people are also just criminalized at an extremely high rate, and these felony charges would count for Idaho's three strikes law, which is a fucking nightmare.

And we also got the Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday, which applies a significantly stricter level of scrutiny to any ban on conversion therapy, which is probably going to end up killing a whole bunch of conversion therapy bans.

across the country which by the way 8-1 ruling so a bunch of liberal justices also fucking agreed with this yeah like that shit is like actually happening and then meanwhile we have this like panic slop bullshit that people are using to get money and it's incredibly frustrating

Yeah, it makes it hard to actually evaluate the news as it's happening and trust certain news from certain sources.

Yeah.

Because we all know that these attacks are real, like there are real attacks going on.

That are really bad.

But we do need to focus on the ones that actually are real as opposed to a single state senator's amendment to a bill, which is never going to pass, taking up all of the oxygen one night.

Meanwhile, literally that same day, a bill like this Idaho bathroom bill is being signed by the governor.

Yeah.

Well, on that note, I think that does it for us here at It Could Happen Here.

Put a trans girl on your couch, I guess, especially also now trans people from Idaho who are going to be fleeing in presumably very large numbers.

Just great and good.
