The years 38 and 66 in Alexandria, 1348 Toulon, 1391 Barcelona, Valentine's Day 1349 in Straussburg, over 500 communities between 1348 and 1350 across Europe, 1370 Brussels, 1389 Prague, 100,000 men women and children in modern day Ukraine between 1648 and 1657, 1770's Poland, 1790's Russia, 1800's Russia, 1900's Russia, and of course Germany in the 1930's and 40's. This isn't close to a full list, I don't know it. We all know what these have in common and we all know how they started. They started with people in power claiming that children were in danger, they were being corrupted, manipulated, and ultimately sacrificed on the alters of a small powerless group. We all know how they ended, dozens, hundred, thousands, and ultimately millions dead all based on the same lies. Lies we have heard over and over and over throughout history until people, far far too late, began slowly standing up and saying no more.
So now there's a new "threat" to our children put forth again by people in power the only difference this time is that they don't dare start with the Jews.

@pistache Here in the US trans people are being targeted by our conservative extremists in government and media with a smear and disinformation campaign that mirrors the way anti-Semites throughout history have provokes lethal attacks on Jewish communities. This is happening to a level where is the combination of laws being put forward in Florida are passed just being outwardly trans in public will be against the law, and potentially punishable (not exaggerating) by death.

That is terrible! It really makes me sad to know that.
