Regular reminder that when the time comes, they will be the ones arresting everyone for being queer, trans, disabled, a scientist, for just speaking out, etc.
They’re not here to keep you safe, they exist to protect property and power.
Cops are not and will never be safe. They shouldn’t be welcomed or trusted. Ever. Even the gay ones. Even your cousin. Even a woman cop.

Pics aren't great and don't show off the size of the growd well (I'm short, sorry lol) but his staffer told him over 9k came out, so many they had to move a bunch to other rooms where his speech was televised.

Trump just personally posted an image featuring a pink triangle—a symbol the Nazis used to mark LGBTQ+ people in concentration camps—to promote his administration’s policy banning transgender people from military service. This is no accident.
The article he linked is about how military recruitment under his administration is changing, explicitly excluding trans people. But the choice of imagery? That’s an escalation. The pink triangle isn’t just a generic LGBTQ+ symbol—it’s a historical badge of persecution. And now it’s being used as a badge of exclusion. The pink triangle—originally used by the Nazis to mark and persecute LGBTQ+ people—is being repurposed as a symbol of exclusion in U.S. military policy.
Trump’s administration is rolling back rights at an alarming pace, and now we have explicit imagery signaling just how deep this goes. The article linked in the tweet discusses the removal of transgender people from military recruitment, but the choice of imagery is chilling. This isn’t just about policy—it’s about openly embracing the historical symbols of persecution.
And it’s not just the post itself—it’s the response. Over 13,000 people have liked it. That might seem small in the grand scheme of things, but think about what it means. Thousands of people saw a Nazi-era symbol being used to justify banning trans people from the military and openly approved of it. It’s disheartening, but more than that, it’s a reality check.
This is not a coincidence. This is not subtle. The escalation of attacks on human rights, particularly against LGBTQ+ people, is no longer creeping—it’s marching. If this kind of rhetoric is normalized, what comes next?
They are showing us exactly what they stand for. We should believe them.
