‘Get off our backs and let us live’
Miss Major is still fighting for trans rights after 50 years of resistance
her latest project – a sanctuary for trans and gender-nonconforming people that she built on the property where she lives in the southern conservative state. She first called it House of GG, after her initials, but recently renamed it Tilifi, which stands for Telling It Like It Fuckin’ Is, something Miss Major is exceptionally good at doing. Next door to her house, connected by a path she painted bright yellow, is the Oasis, a guest home where she invites trans leaders and loved ones to stay, with a singular goal: to rest and relax. “I’ve gotta make joy here, because it doesn’t exist in the normal world,” says Miss Major … Visibility, she says, means the deaths of her people are now counted, but it doesn’t mean their lives are being saved and protected: “We got gay marriage, yay! But that doesn’t affect transgender people. The girls are being murdered more and more each year.” She rolls her eyes at the order of the LGBTQ+ acronym: “The T should be first. We’re integral.” … “They want us to live in the 1950s. No. Get off our fucking backs and let us live. They try to push us back – well, that means we gotta put the gloves on and fight again,” she says. “We have to get rid of the people in charge – the 70- and 80-year-olds who hold us down, who want to try to suppress us. You get rid of them, and we can build up, and move forward. People have to organize and get it together, and we also must vote.” She adds: “I know the world I would like to live in. It’s in my head, but I try my best to live it now.”

Daisy Bates - played a leading role in the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957
After having learned at 8 years old that her mother was brutally raped and murdered by three European men, Daisy Bates dedicated her life to fighting inequality. She was an American civil rights activist, journalist, lecturer, and a woman who played a leading role in the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957. When she was just 15, Daisy met her future husband and settled in Little Rock, Arkansas where they started their own newspaper, The Arkansas Weekly. It was one of the only African American newspapers solely dedicated to the Civil Rights Movement. Daisy, naturally, also worked with Civil Rights organizations. She was the President of the Arkansas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for many years. After the Supreme Court ruled segregated schools unconstitutional back in 1954, Daisy began gathering African American students to enroll in European schools. Those who didn't want to accept African students were published in her newspaper. Even though she faced a lot of rejection, Daisy never backed down

So, we had to re-post this because the above Facebook post is basically an actual conjuring spell, and as far as we can tell, it took from July 2020 to September 2021 to charge and cast.
This is an extremely powerful meme.
That video that was in the comments is a match for the band Second Life in Little Rock performing at Vino's on Sept. 3, 2021.
In their own Facebook post from the next morning, we see the band is dressed the same as it is there.

You have to assume that no one in the audience actually got that the whole thing was a bit, a reference to a meme. But they still responded appropriately.
Fucking legendary.
