When They Came for Us All
The mask is fucking off. In the last 48 hours, the Heritage Foundation—those suited psychopathic closet fucks who birthed Project 2025—have literally proposed hunting transgender people like terrorists. Not metaphorically. Not hyperbolically. They want the FBI’s counterterrorism apparatus weaponized against human beings whose only crime is existing while trans. This is what fascism smells like when it stops pretending to be politics.
“Ας έρθουν να με πάρουν”
Designation Codename - Transgender Terrorist: They Want Us Dead or Disappeared
Let’s be crystal fucking clear about what happened: The Heritage Foundation released a policy document demanding that transgender people and ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS THEM be designated as domestic terrorists. Parents who love their trans kids? Terrorists. Doctors who provide healthcare? Terrorists. Friends who use correct pronouns? Terrorists.
This isn’t policy—it’s a pogrom blueprint. They’re using the Charlie Kirk assassination attempt as their Reichstag Fire, claiming with zero evidence that trans people are responsible for “the majority of mass school shootings.” The bile-soaked audacity of this lie should make your blood boil. They’re manufacturing a genocide narrative in real-time, and they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
Cathy Renna from the National LGBTQ Task Force called it “absolutely insane,” but that’s too kind. This is calculated evil. Harvard’s Alejandra Caraballo named it properly: “eradication.” When the machinery of state surveillance gets pointed at a minority population, history shows us exactly what comes next. They know this. They’re counting on it.
Designation Codename - Implode Portland: The “Full Force” Attack On American Citizens
The fascist playbook unfolds in Portland: 200 National Guard troops deployed to crush protests at ICE detention centers. Trump screams about “Antifa terrorists” while his storm troopers snatch fathers from preschools and arrest firefighters mid-blaze. Oregon’s suing, calling this illegal provocation what it is—manufactured chaos. The DHS spews lies about “siege” while 65% of ICE’s victims have zero criminal record. Trump declared Antifa a “terrorist organization”—constitutionally impossible bullshit meant to criminalize dissent. This isn’t law enforcement; it’s occupation. Portland 2020’s federal goon squads are back, hunting immigrants and anyone who dares resist. Democracy dies in military boots.
Designation Codename - Global Resistance: The World Fights Back While America Burns
While American fascists sharpen their knives, progressive leaders from over 20 countries gathered in London for emergency coordination. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Pete Buttigieg, John Podesta, and Neera Tanden—the entire progressive establishment—convening because they see what’s happening. They know authoritarianism is metastasizing globally.
This isn’t some polite policy conference. This is a war council. The Center for American Progress, IPPR, and Labour Together understand that if America falls to this darkness, the contagion spreads everywhere. They’re building firebreaks against fascism while our own government pours gasoline on the flames.
Designation Codename - Health Care Rapture : Democrats Fight Dirty (Finally)
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have discovered their spines at the eleventh hour, holding the entire government hostage to protect healthcare for millions. They’re blocking everything—EVERYTHING—unless Affordable Care Act protections get extended and Medicaid cuts get reversed.
Trump called their demands “totally unreasonable” because of course he did. Keeping people alive is unreasonable to these ghouls. The Congressional Progressive Caucus is orchestrating this resistance with the desperation of people who finally understand the stakes. Too little? Maybe. Too late? We’ll see. But at least someone’s finally fighting like lives depend on it—because they fucking do.
Designation Codename - BirthWrong: Erasing Human Beings By Constitutional Fiat
The Trump administration just asked the Supreme Court to let them create a permanent underclass of non-citizens born on American soil. This isn’t immigration policy—it’s ethnic cleansing through paperwork. They want to birth a generation of people with no country, no rights, no recourse. The Supreme Court will decide whether to hear these cases during the 2025-26 term, but we already know how this stacked court leans. They’re engineering an American apartheid, one judicial decision at a time.
Designation Codename - Erupt Tesla: Rage Against the Oligarchy Machine
Many protests erupted at Tesla showrooms nationwide as people finally connected the dots between Musk’s money, Trump’s madness and Musk’s appearance in the Epstein Files (Along with Bannon, Prince Andrew, and Theil). The “Tesla Takedown” movement isn’t asking nicely anymore—they’re explicitly trying to tank Tesla’s stock price and “stop Musk’s illegal coup.”¹⁷
This is what it looks like when people stop believing in the system’s ability to self-correct. When tech billionaires can buy presidencies and shape policy through proximity to power, the social contract is already torn. These protests represent something darker and more necessary: the recognition that traditional democratic mechanisms have been captured by oligarchic interests.
Designation Codename - Positive Elimination: Fighting Plagues While They Create New Ones
September 27 was Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, observed while the same administration that wants to label us terrorists also shut down LGBTQ+ suicide prevention hotlines and stripped healthcare protections. The bitter irony of raising awareness about one plague while another—political and social—ravages our community isn’t lost on anyone paying attention.
The international health community continues its work, but how long before they’re labeled terrorist sympathizers for providing healthcare to queer people? How long before AIDS medications become “terrorist supplies”? If you think that’s hyperbolic, you haven’t been watching closely enough.
Designation Codename - Revision Explosion: Even Acknowledging History Becomes Illegal
Judicial Watch dragged Evanston’s reparations program into federal court, claiming that $25,000 payments to Black residents for historical discrimination violate white people’s constitutional rights. They’ve already distributed $6.35 million to 254 people, and now six individuals backed by right-wing money want it all torn down.
This isn’t just about money—it’s about memory. They want to make it constitutionally impossible to acknowledge, let alone address, historical wrongs. If reparations programs fall, it sets precedent that America’s original sins are legally untouchable, that the wounds can never be addressed, that justice itself is unconstitutional.
Conclusion:
This isn’t politics anymore. This is survival. When a major conservative think tank can openly call for terrorism designations against an entire minority population and their allies, we’ve crossed into elimination rhetoric. When birthright citizenship becomes negotiable, when healthcare becomes a hostage, when reparative justice becomes illegal—we’re not sliding toward fascism, we’re already there.
The international community sees it. The protesters in the streets see it. The only question left is whether enough Americans will see it in time to stop it, or whether we’ll sleepwalk into a darkness that history will struggle to forgive.
They came for us trans people first. They’re coming for the rest next. The next 48 hours won’t be better than the last unless we make them fight for every bloody inch.

Your article is spot on. It is accurate to describe the Heritage Foundation’s agenda as ‘calculated evil’ because they are clearly advocating for an extermination event. They are starting with the trans community but will come after the rest of us next (people of color, women, disabled, veterans, homeless, atheists, political dissidents, etc.). Under this administration, led by the pedophile-in-chief, no one will be spared unless they are a white christian nationalist. I believe Americans are waking up to Trump’s evil corruption but we need mobilize soon. I will never comply with this bullshit. Stand strong and stand proud, we are in this together. ✊
I’m SICK TO DEATH of these types of hateful people and their biases.
