So they are gonna come and they're gonna beat them in all the language, man, all the language. This is, again, I'm in Hegseth world, but the torture is akin to the rape. You know, we now have affirmative action for rapists in this administration, and we only hire men who've sexually assaulted people, right? This is like a job requirement in the Trump administration, right?

It is declaring there are only two genders. We're going to do this from the top down, literally, and we are going to overpower you physically. We're going to assert our rights to your bodies, okay? In a million ways. You're talking about trans identities. You're talking about reproductive realities. You're talking about incarceration, death penalty, torture, right?

This is like, we are going to dominate your bodies. All right. And so that is what's happening. And I do not want when I when I say anything that is forward looking and optimistic, I do not want to take away from the brutal lived reality of this is going to be deportation, family separation, all these things in front of us now, right now.

I also want to say that Britney's, you know, the history of what happens in the middle of the 19th century is we have a very violent war. And the sort of culmination of generations worth of activism on multiple fronts over periods of well more than a century, extracting certain liberties and certain victories from a government and a system that was designed around oppressions.
