That may be a solution for elderly and disabled people, and children. Able people, from all groups targeted by the fascists, need to stay and start resisting. We know from history that exile from fascism only works temporarily and only if you have an army fighting and defeating the fascists for you.
With Europe and South America being taken over by far right authoritarian parties and China cracking down in its own LGBTQ population, we need to figure out an international response in how to get LGBTQ people to safety. It's going to get so bad while every potential safe harbor is taken away.

It's not actually rocket science. Fascism is the presence of fascists and the absence of anti-fascists. As long as people refuse to be the latter and reject any method that's ever been effective against fascism because it involves fighting, breaking the rules, taking risks, fascism will win.
bleak future ahead for brazil. something must be done with the growing global fascistic movement if we want any future worth anything

I suspect this has a lot to do with American meddling, and it would be our job to stop this. But when there are fascists to fight, we'll suddenly feign helplessness and pretend to oppose any kind of rule-breaking. So we just keep exporting our fascism to the rest of the world.
It's only the first round but I can't believe Brazil did everything right going after Jair Bolsanaro over his attempted coup only to be on the verge of electing his corrupt dipshit son.

I wrote a thread earlier today (before even reading this story, actually) about how commonly the “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story are actually procedural distortions made by people in positions of power who are invested in disbelieving her:
All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.
Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

It’s so triggering (and I don’t use that word lightly) to be repeatedly ignored, dismissed, patronised and lied to by politicians and policy makers because it reflects how Alice and I were treated when she needed help and answers whilst she was alive. Trans people are enduring state sanctioned abuse

“this government wants trans people and their families to feel safe and accepted in our society.”
I think I can speak for most trans people and their families when I say, they don’t and increasingly they aren’t, precisely because of Labour’s decisions.
How can they believe this stuff they type?

These prevention campaigns can have a really negative impact on those left behind. And they detract from the real systemic issues that need addressing that we know protect against suicide: equal access to healthcare, housing, employment, food, warmth and justice for all of us.
