It's always funny when a toot like this breaks containment and reaches comfortable, middle-class, cishet white men. They assume I mean what they would mean by this - that we shouldn't do things that break unjust laws - and then jump into my replies to be like, don't comply in advance, what if they make an unjust law like making it illegal to say certain things are you just going to comply????

And I'm like...they literally have decreed it's illegal to talk about my existence as a trans woman in federal government documents, and I am out here still being trans and talking about it. You realize I'm already way past that point you think you're being brave about, right?

And all of this to say that they fail to realize that the meaning of the above isn't "be afraid and don't do things" but me talking to fellow anti-fascists saying "don't upload proof of things that could land you in jail in a publicly accessible place while resisting the rise of fascism."
