Republican lawmakers in Florida have sparked outrage after passing a bill that LGBTQ advocates say will strip trans children from their parents’ custody.
SB254
— which one former lawmaker has called “fascist” legislation — would
allow the state to rip children from their parents when they are “at
risk” or “subjected” to gender-affirming health care. The bill is
written so that even a child of Floridian parents living out of state
could trigger the law.
The Florida legislature approved three bills on Wednesday that aim to
eliminate any expression of non-cis, non-hetero expression from public
life.
HB1521 is the state’s restroom bill, which prohibits businesses from utilising gender-inclusive bathrooms.
SB1438
empowers the state to take punitive measures against businesses that
host LGBTQ friendly shows or drag performances. It also gives the state
the power to prohibit minors from attending events it deems
“inappropriate.” Minors will be barred from events even if their parents
consent, a policy that flies in the face of Governor Ron DeSantis’ educational agenda that favors parental consent to an extreme degree.
If SB1438 is made law, it would also likely mean the end of most Pride parades.
Alejandra
Caraballo, a former staff attorney at the Transgender Legal Defense and
Education Fund, noted on Twitter today that Treasure Coast Pridefest
has already cancelled its parade for this year.
She previously condemned HB254 as a Florida-approved pass for kidnapping trans children.
Florida is a Fascist hellscape ruled by hateful bigots.
I am at a loss. I don’t know what we do to stop this. At this point, we may want to start thinking about funding an airlift to get trans kids and their families out of that Nazi nightmare.

“I find no compulsion more terrible than the obligation of speaking continuously and on the spur of the moment. I do not know whether this has anything to do with my mortal aversion to constraint of any kind; but to be absolutely obliged to speak is enough to make me infallibly talk nonsense.”
— Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confessions (via philosophybits)
On this day, 21 April 1980, the working class mining community in Sabuk, South Korea, took control of their town setting up a “liberated zone” amidst a strike of coalminers demanding a 40% pay increase.
The movement began on 15 April when 25 workers protested against their union. On 21 April, four protesting workers were seriously injured by a police jeep. In response, protests grew, and workers occupied key parts of the town, seizing police weaponry and dynamite from the mines. The following day, 300 armed police arrived, but 5,000 protesters succeeded in driving them from the area.
Local women, housewives and other residents took an active part in the struggle, and the community set up their own security detachments. The movement was even more remarkable given that South Korea was governed by a brutal military dictatorship backed by the US.
By 24 April, employers and authorities agreed to all of the workers’ demands, including a pay increase and an amnesty for the protesters, in return for workers laying down their weapons.
However, after this took place the state ignored its promise and on 7 May abducted and tortured over 70 people. On 4 August, 30 of those were sentenced to between one and five years’ imprisonment. Three of those who were tortured died young as a result.
