Live in an apartment complex and I’ve secretly deployed several tubs of sidewalk chalk around the building and one of the downstairs family kids just found one.
Summer officially begins.
Yup! They believe that police (and government in general) are here to serve the "good guys" aka the powerful. Laws are for the strong to use in protecting themselves against the weak (as if that made any dang sense, but here we are).
With DS9, the larger picture always felt kinda bolted-on to me, whereas it was intrinsic to B5's story-arc.
For non-bolted-on DS9 big-picture stuff, I highly recommend Una McCormack's Cardiassia novels.

"When you transition, you uncouple the physical and social reality of womanhood from the biological mandate of the state's factory line. My bodily autonomy is an insult to their patriarchal assembly line. We are walking, breathing sabotage."
"The state is correct to be afraid of us.
When a trans woman hacks and rebuilds her physical form, she proves the state's most foundational lie- the immutability of assigned biological destiny- is a fiction. We expose the fragility of their entire gendered economy."
