IMO: LGBTQI+
This has already been happening for a while I'm afraid.Oh yeah, however thus far it’s been relatively well defended against in both countries: women can get contraception without their husband’s express permission, gay people can still marry and have sex without being jailed, teens can express non-hetero preferences, trans and inter people are slowly being accepted…
Yesterday’s decision shows that the right are willing, able, and working actively to dismantle the cornerstones of modern democratic life. The way things are going, women will lose access to legal contraception, sodomy laws will come back on the books, and the excessive policing power of the state will grow as individual rights and freedoms shrink. This isn’t doomsaying, this is reading the republican playbook and actually believing them.

This has already been happening for a while I'm afraid. Anti-trans and LGBT activity here in the UK is being funded remotely by the US Christian Right with 'dark money' looking to export their culture war.
Crowdfunders mysteriously reach their targets in hours/overnight with large individual donations and if you're a high profile/totemic anti-trans/TERF/however you want to define them you won't need to worry about legal fees or how to pay the bills.
Look at Kathleen Stock getting rescued by the University of Austin after she quit Sussex.
