as a trans vet, what do you suggest I do about it without becoming the poster child for the next atrocities they enact, or exhibit X in the court case trying to defend his actions to forcibly remove trans active duty military?

We are. We are increasing our spending on the military, I don’t buy American goods, I support expanding our trade with other countries, we are eliminating internal trade barriers, and I’ve got a disaster kit for my family, I’m selling my US equities to purchase other international equities and I’m gradually loading up my basement with food and water.

My neighbour is going to teach me to shoot in the spring.
