Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh neat we're at the "destroying transgender research, setting back the world at least a century" stage
That's not good
I don't think knowledge can be destroyed in this day and age.
Research institutions are more international and globalised than they were in the 20th century.
Even if american fascists started burning Research documents and books, the knowledge would most likely not be lost if it's already shared on an international level.
As usual, american politics is completely detached from material reality and can only deal in aesthetics and theater.
data rots
Sure, it would in the US when the yanks completely remove themselves from scientific studies.
But the current research and discoveries will continue their development in other places like Germany, France, China, or other nations who research the same things.
If the US banned mathematics for using Arabic numerals, mathematic discoveries would still continue elsewhere.
The US seems to cannibalise itself and speed running its own collapse. It should be celebrated. A destroyed or diminished US is an absolute blessing for the rest of the world.
