Small write-up of the last 20 mins of the video: (because I need to go do laundry lol)

If you must converse with a fascist:

Principle 1: Stay on message. Maintain control of the conversation. State plainly what is at stake, what they are doing, and don’t allow them to change the subject. “What you are doing/saying is hurting people. Stop being an asshole.”

Principle 2: If you’re explaining, you’re losing. Just. Call. Bullshit. Make them explain why it’s not.

Principle 3: Fascists by definition are hateful losers. Do not think otherwise. Do not allow themselves to hide or run away or change the subject. Call them hateful. Call them losers. Call them weird. Publicly.

edit: forgor a word

Extra good news: "Just in! A second huge ruling for transgender people! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just DENIED the government’s motion for a stay in the trans military ban case. The government CANNOT enforce it’s ban on transgender people in the military still. BIG day for pro-transgender rulings. "

Based on mention:

• Wisconsin: Milwaukee, Madison
• Missouri: Kansas City, St. Louis
• Ohio: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati

Whatever the answer is, it’s going to take years if not decades. I wish I had the answers. I wish I had the power to make things right. I wish I could stop the suffering. All I can do is do what I can. For now, that’s surviving. For now, all I can do is continue to be kind to people and educate them when I can. Help them when I have the ability to.

My fellow disabled person, I see you. A murmur can become a tidal wave with time. We must stick together. We cannot lose hope. We must go on.
