A trans woman in Texas was harassed for being trans; she filled a police report and was then arrested for “filing a false report” and “being a man in a dress”. Violence against trans people is escalating and becoming a more direct goal of the state. https://www.liberationnews.org/trans-woman-arrested-accused-of-being-man-in-dress-by-texas-police/

The US child welfare system punishes parents for poverty by taking their children away.

Parents need support to help provide for their families, but what they are getting is surveillance, regulation, and punishment.
