If an administration ends the suicide hotlines for only one group of people, I think it's fair for the public to conclude that the admin is OK with knowing their decision will result in countless deaths of the people in the group they have targeted. I hope lawsuits are filed. Here's why: 1/5
So much for being pro-life.
They are not pro-life. They are forced birth. They don't give a shit about the child once it's here. Otherwise, they would invest in daycare, healthcare, etc
They also don't care about the existing life of the mother. If she dies from them "saving" the fetus, they don't care. Logically, this makes no sense for their "make more babies" campaign, since a woman who lives can make more babies. None of this is about life; it's about controlling women.
You are 💯 percent correct.
Just MORE PROOF that they DON'T CARE about ANY of US and are DOING EVERYTHING they can to HELP KILL US OFF as FAST as possible!🤬
Agreed
America needs a regime change.
They don't give a shit about anybody that's not a mediocre white man claiming to be a Christian.
The Pro-white heterosexual cis gendered-life party
As long as they make enough money.
Which they will be sued for.
Says the guy whose whole life has been a non-working holiday
You have a firm grasp on it, yes. Exactly. They hate you, for reasons they couldn’t possibly tell you.
I hope they all file a law suit !
One death, because of this cruel and evil decision, is one too many!!! We have a monster in the White House!!!!!
We have many, many monsters in this regime. 🥺
It is an abhorrent act! Completely erasing a very small group of people solely because of bigotry!
I’ve heard things like “why do they need their own suicide hotline when we already have suicide hotlines?” One response was, “the VA has a hotline for veterans & that’s ok with you but other segments of society can’t?” #CrueltyIsThePoint
If all fetuses were gay or trans abortions would be free .
One unforgivably heinous act after another. And a large percentage of our population is closing their eyes, or they're sleepwalking through this. I will never understand.
Wouldn't it be easier to sue the Churches and politicians attacking the Gay community, inciting violence against those in the Gay community? Terrorism should never be tolerated. This is one dozens of calls for terrorism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L617...
This whole administration are terrorists. I try to listen closely to any court cases I can though so we can use the judges direct words against them in lawsuits like you are saying
🤬 and his pews are probably still fully occupied. I will never understand!
Texas Pastors should be sentenced with death.
I hate to say this but if Trump has that much influence over the 988 number it's probably not safe to use it. We must find a way in our communities to help each other with mental health.
Respectfully there's another aspect that should also be considered. Not only has the regime ended the suicide prevention hotlines for the LGBTQ community it has also created an environment in which people feel more targeted and vilified thereby increasing the risk of a person becoming depressed 1/
and suicidal. I imagine it's difficult enough to feel marginalised simply because of who you were born to be but to make matters so much worse the regime, without compunction, has blithely taken steps that harm those in the LGBTQ community. Then it delivered the fatal blow of depriving 2/
those suffering of suicide prevention services. Truly inhumane. End
Heartbreakingly cruel. I cannot for the life of me understand the reasons for their hatred of so many different groups of human beings! 🥺😭😩
It's beyond the understanding of any decent human being. To actually hate, not even dislike but hate, complete strangers who have done you no harm whatsoever is indefensible. Those who target the LGBTQ community should be asked to state when they chose to be straight. They won't be able to! 1/
Vilifying a person for something outside of their control is absolutely abhorrent. End
They're theocrats. They govern like religious hard-liners, the "christian" equivalent of talibanis or al Qaeda. Man, woman, Bible, birth, family, Bible, know your place, God is your Lord, Bible. BIBLE! Oh, and don't YOU read it! Only the Priests/Ministers may interpret it and make the rules!
They LOVE to point to Leviticus to condemn gay people. I dare anyone to read the whole thing, every page, every "scripture." There are 243 Commandments (do's and do-not's) in Leviticus, and Christians VIOLATE NEARLY ALL OF THEM in their daily lives!
Right, their political actions have real world consequences on those who are being singled out for gov't sanction that include firing (military ban, workplace firing), and other forms of mistreatment and abuses. The Trump Administration needs brought up on numerous charges at The Hague Tribunal!
Most definitely. The grim reality is that 47 was responsible for thousands dying unnecessarily during Covid as a consequence of his wilful mismanagement of the pandemic. When he faced no consequences for such dire acts he became emboldened to inflict more harm on those Americans and Immigrants 1/
(legal or otherwise) who did not and do not conform to his racist and bigoted picture of America. His inane hatred of people of colour and the LGBTQ has been fully unmasked this term (mind you it was clear who he was in 2016). This time there isn't even a modicum of constraint being practised as 2/
he brazenly allows Miller and Noem to target so many in breach of the Constitution. Slandering all Angeleans (is that the correct name for LA Residents?) as Criminals while deporting a 4yo cancer sufferer is indicative of the true agenda the regime is pursuing. Ripping away vital life saving 3/
services from the LGBTQ community as the regime takes steps to seriously impact lives negatively is beyond abhorrent. Yet 47 et al will show no remorse. They are truly irredeemable as human beings 🤷♀️ End
hear hear!
Also effecting our vets with PTSD. They threaten everyone.
Mass death is the point. They know that this will cause death, they are banking on it. We need to take down #PeterThiel. He's as big of, or maybe more, of a danger to humanity than #Musk. This isn't just about #America, these sick fucks want death across the globe. PETER THIEL = PUBLC ENEMY #1.
TALKING ABOUT the "trumpy dumpy NAZI REGIME".......... but call it an 'administration' IF YOU WANT - - -
Is 988 still alive?
I don't feel like you should have to explain why hurting people is bad
Agreed.
This is who they are and what they voted for. Trvmp's murderous Murica #GOPDeathCult
They want people to die. There’s no other explanation to the composite of everything they are taking away or funding for medical research or CDC gutting and replacement with nuts…
Yes, this is an exquisitely orchestrated genocide, designed to persist beyond regime change. They are starting an extinction cascade to bring about the Rapture.
I have long thought that the christian power brokers are angling for the rapture. The rest of them are in it for greed and power. Funny how those things work hand-in-glove.
Always it's interesting to step way out and look at this via the alien point of view 👽
To please Putin.
I believe that one of the administrations agendas is to kill Americans. Suicide hotline Medicaid Healthcare FDA FEMA VA restrictions refusing care to registered Democrats EPA Lifting asbestos restrictions Challenging car emissions Water contamination levels increased The list goes on & on
It’s kind of like what happened in the movie Erin Brockovich, PG&E or love Canal, Hooker Chemicals or Dark Waters, Dupont & the chemical PFOH, the recent water supply in Flint, Michigan. Trump is now giving these companies the greenlight, that it’s OK now, the government has opened Pandora’s box !
He thinks he’s gonna break us
They want them to die. They think homosexuality and transgendered people are contagious even though the male Republicans are known to search up femboy porn at alarming levels. This is a proven fact.
Democide, political leaders causing the deaths of their own citizens, by act or omission, is a crime against humanity. Trump is what happens when you put Hitler & Pol Pot in a blender.
Please don’t give them ideas about putting people in blenders, that’s probably next 😑
Sticking his hand in a blender might be the only cure for Trump's multi-decade tiny hands obsession.
Just like Hitler, target all those you oppose
Which begs me to ask. When will the MAGA Cultists finally wake up and realize that their Dear Leader doesn't give a flying fuck about them?
Never because he his harming the people they hate exactly what they desire
Do they atleast know why they hate them Fox News aside...
Yes they are other. They hate anyone who does not share their ideology. Unlike us they have no concept of a diverse world where the many make up the whole. They fear diversity and difference.
Do they realize that their ideology is a blind path that always leads to poverty. It's not like...
Never. They will die of hunger and preventable diseases justifying all his mean, evil, and idiotic decisions.
Just so they can make brown people disappear. Which I guess makes them feel more Superior when it's only mediocre white man, LOL
This is true. We weren't shown much during Covid. A traveling Covid nurse sent me these photos. One is a storeroom where bags of the deads' clothes & shoes are piled up. Each had the 2nd toe tag attached. Then one MAGA, arguing for bogus treatments until he died, ripped out his own eyeball.
Is there a way to open it up another way 🤔
Well I think they did for veterans as well so they are all around assholes
If someone in this group ends their life it could qualify as involuntary manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide in many states. The key legal factor is: Did your action (or inaction) show reckless disregard for human life? 2/5
Putin hates America so he has put our absolute worst on display. Not only will we become a global pariah, but our social structure and order will turn to dust. There doesn't seem to be much to do to avoid this, especially if our sole option is reliance on "law." ~ That's, always, power's tool.
This is not America!
Even if you didn’t directly cause the death, contributing to it by knowingly eliminating a potential protective factor might meet that standard. If you: *Knew someone was suicidal 3/5
*Removed a deterrent (e.g., took away a photo of their child, deleted a message from a loved one, canceled a therapist appointment...or maybe ended the suicide hotlines that get hundreds of thousands of calls from people in a mental health crisis...) 4/5
*And they subsequently died by suicide You might be charged with manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide. I am not a lawyer. As such, I hope lawyers are looking at this. 5/5
One could argue that the totality of the regime’s actions and stance contributed to suicidal thoughts in the 1st place 🤷🏼♀️ Maybe someday they can all be charged for human rights abuses
Crimes Against Humanity
Social murderers, every one.
Well said.
As a lawyer, that’s not quite accurate legally, although it’s extremely accurate morally. As a general matter, there’s no duty to rescue anyone else, so not taking life-saving action isn’t a crime (whatever the Seinfeld finale said notwithstanding).
Unless you're capable of childbearing. Then we're required, in some places, to put our health and lives at risk for someone else. Forced against our wishes. Even when dead (Georgia). Any thoughts on this being discriminatory?
That's why I dropped out of law school in year three. Had little to do with morals, everything to do with precedent, and too often, and too easily is used as a justification for atrocities. Plus, who wants to always have to deal with adversity or contention? 100/100 would quit again.
I did the same damn thing.
I like how you think. 😉
They are “taking life-saving care away” from someone who needs it. A person falls over board and the captain decides to not throw a lifeline stashed right in front of him without any criteria, to justify his decision. He’s got trouble.
That’s extremely sad.
It is

The deliberate killing of a large number of people from a specific national, ethnic, racial, or religious group with the intent to destroy that group, either in whole or in part, is called genocide. Can we add political or social group to that list?
I’m not a lawyer, but sadly it’s my understanding our politicians have created safe guards to protect themselves from libel suits based on their policy decisions. Our only way to punish non-criminal acts by politicians that harm others through negligence or abuse is to elect someone else.
I need a lawyer. My child and their friends have relied on 988 from time to time. And several are now very afraid of their own families. We need to file a class action or civil suit.
Reach out to the Trevor Project. @trevorproject.bsky.social May be they can organize a class action lawsuit? www.thetrevorproject.org
Sorry, just learned this is not correct. See attached: translifeline.org/clarifying-m...
Grand Jury. This is the remedy when the people as a whole have standing, without the need for an individual litigant with standing. Demand a grand jury be empaneled.
Great insight, Jack. Hope someone is looking into that as well.
This is what a bigoted death cult would do.
This is how they plan to cull the herd .. it's diabolical . Is this who we are ? . As a country we don't support our most vulnerable ? Who are we now ? This is not the America I know !
Off the cuff, this lawyer says it is unlikely.
The problem is they will say, "the suicide line is still available 24/7, they just don't have special counselors for certain geographics." 🙄 Technically true, but completely insensitive and out-of-touch response. It's the same reason I, as a complex trauma survivor, don't go to a BiPolar specialist.
: stares in USAID : : and MedicAid : : and MediCare : : and Social Security : : and, yes, hotlines :
Couldn’t we say the same about eliminating vaccines and taking Medicaid away? This crap show is getting old quite quickly.

It looked legit and made sense. No worries, as long as we correct it and own it as you just did. And I imagine it didn't cause you any physical pain or strife to admit you made a mistake? This is what keeps us above Magats. Be kind and honest. 2 simple things we can control. Take care!

We've all done it. I wouldn't have been an arsehole and pointed it out if it wasn't literally life or death for some people.
Oh no. I’m glad you told me. Thank you!
I Iove you Canada❤️! Those LGBTQ folks need the hotline because of Trump.

I have no idea what this post was so I’m probably believing that bit was true.
Kindness and empathy are too “woke” for this American presidency. Vote for change in 2026.
That is so true!! Voting blue always!
What fascists do. Are we getting it yet because I do not think so?
It’s crazy dangerous out there.
Thank you Canada!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They rock
Agreed. I’d give anything to move there 😢
Suicidal thoughts aren't one size fits all. They are basically telling trans people a version of" if you have cancer, just your PCP can take care of that for you, and you don't need a cancer specialist." But you also have no idea if your doctor even believes in cancer.
The people at the trans hotline are coached in trans specific ideas around suicide. And now they won't feel safe calling a main line if they aren't sure the person would even CARE about them let alone be trained in helping them with their specific need.
This is brilliant.
Governments have long ceased to value human life and always try to engage in war.
Pretty sure the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal to target a specific group based on an immutable characteristic. And it’s unconstitutional to target an individual or business by passing a law against them. Not sure if that extends to federal regulations but it should.
This administration is a disaster for our democracy. They are deliberately destroying our humanity for some crazy reasons.
Sadism, primarily.
A transnational criminal syndicate-includes world oligarchs (including USA) dictators religious leaders in several religions world tech/data brokers/mass surveillance conglomerates and multinational corporations. They have captured the gop & some Dems The goal is to destroy all world democracy
They stopped feeding Africans for pennies a day! This administration is basically premeditated murderers. They know exactly who is/will dye because of their policies. Kidnapping and trafficking humans. Wish someone had the balls in Congress to stand up to them.
Die, need a damn edit!
I'll second that one!!
It is no secret that the Christian Right wants LGBTQ people to die. Extremists are too close to power, and if they remain in positions of power, it will lead to the end of EVERYTHING. Total domination is their goal.
"The new revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be. Meaning if we walk to our deaths with no resistance. We cannot do this. We are stronger when we stick together. "We the people are more powerful than the people in power." credit to the Power to the People Movement.
Let’s fix this and everything else that Reagan broke, as well as everything broken by every conservative president since. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP0p...
Agree with the sentiment, but would be difficult to prove that the absence of the hotline resulted in a suicide. It’s just another blatant act of cruelty, hatred, and indifference to human suffering, i.e., just another day in Trump World.
I hate to say it but the rhetoric almost feels like : Their cult view is if you are any type of burden on the system we will leave you in the gutter. I’ve passed wealthy people in life and they have the same sort of hatred. They all wreak of narcissism
Typo reek 🙈🙄
Agreed.
Why do Republicans hate that one group so much that they want to deprive them of a suicide hotline that understands their concerns? Are they afraid the characteristics of that group are contagious?
this is a good point, it's reflexive with them, like a mantra; and sadly not fixable, i tire of saying this is cult-like behavior (it is), also tire of saying 'fear of the other' (it is); they are f4cked up psychologically, for real, CPAC conventions break GRINDR, evangelicals? all these people
The key thing to remember, folks, is a true administration never would remove that funding. But an autocratic REGIME definitely would. Words matter.
Let's run that dickhead outta town.
Your statement presupposes gay people are different than straight people when it comes to psychology.
All persons have a differing psycho/social hx, therefore all have persons have differing psycho/social treatment needs, treatment and assistance.
I can’t understand how hateful people are and how they support cruel hateful decisions
This is the Trans Lifeline.

“soft eugenics”
They want them to opt for “self deportation.”
Dude they do not give a shit about people. We already know this.
They are BANKING on the deaths related to the loss of the hotline. LITERALLY BANKING ON IT WITH ACTUAL MONEY. Its the whole point. I don't believe in devils, but I'm starting to rethink that stance.
Goddamn how well parsed...
They want it. Thank you, Canada for providing a phone # to help people who are suicidal. America owes you a debt of gratitude for your humanity, which everyone in the WH is devoid of.

By attacking the lgbtq2+ community, especially trans people, republikkkans are following the nazi playbook to the letter.
They’re not only ok with it, they WANT it to happen.
It didn't start with ovens in Germany
It's clear that this regime is OK with harm and even death they cause for LGTBQ+ community. Could be called as what they suggest: elimination.
Despicable.

We know that anyone Republican thinks that they do not value all lives. The rich see people as pennies, quarters and dollars, and they want to get of the penny.
Hate and division is their platform
Here’s the problem. The maga moron judges now make the decisions.
They’d like to be able to hunt us in the streets but they know we shoot back.
I’m sorry. Congress appropriated money for this group and this asshole ignores that?! Where the FUCK is our congress?!
Sleeping on the job.
Remember, the majority in Congress is GOP and they almost always march in lockstep meaning they alone have control. This is sadly just another pebble on the mountain of evidence that they are not only awful people but traitors to the Constitution.
Mike Johnson is too busy eating TACO.
Many of us are asking the same thing. They are the 21st century version of Where’s Waldo? My guess is they know they’re outnumbered and nothing they try will work. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be out there making noise. Every damn day. They need to keep their constituents energized and hopeful.
Our what? 🙄
The Congress is taking the time to consider on passing more useless law that 🔶️💩needs to make us died because only privilege people can conform his maga💩🔶️🐘💩
The Republicons have already decided to give their power over to the executive branch.
How soon before they start requiring them to wear rainbow "T's" on their clothing?
Trump supporters are pants-peeing thrilled that he is hurting another vulnerable, marginalized group of Americans. They love pedophiles, puppy killers, liars, con men, and thieves, and hate literally everyone else.
Correct. The only emotion they share is hatred. They’re all stunted individuals who thrive on cruelty. It’s obscene.
Premeditated manslaughter.
Equal protection under the law now seems like a pipe dream.
Just curious. They’re saying & acting on a premise that their religious obsessions justify the murder of millions in Palestine based on a dubious translation of a book of dubious origin telling them it is their religious duty to do so-yet you can’t conceive their justifying murdering others en masse
Well, they could always try Canada's: 1-800-273-TALK. Stay safe, we need people like you, don't leave us with these retards, there are too many of them!

Law? Ha!
Trump is the most vile human being that ever lived. He's worse than a hundred Caligulas. There is no particle of the man that isn't anti-life. He's a destroyer more lethal than a dozen drunk Nixons. He is a Lovecraftian horror set loose now upon an unsuspecting world with the potential to end all.
"Trump is the most vile INHUMAN being that ever lived." TFTFY.
Yes, he is. But what's the acronym?
"There. Fixed that for you."
😞unfortunately true. So sad. We've got to get out of the place (in history) If its the last thing we ever do!
He's a walking, talking malignancy that spreads gloom & doom everywhere. He is dismantling America & the world, piece by piece. And he's doing it because he can. No one is pushing back, he has no respect for the law or the courts & he will steal/grift as much as he can for as long as he can. #8647
