Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

January 2025:

Donald Trump pardoned 1500 people who participated in the insurrection of January 6th, including those who violently assaulted and nearly killed police officers.

Donald Trump has declared that trans and non-binary people don’t exist.

Donald Trump is working towards firing everyone in the government who isn’t loyal to him.

Donald Trump has effectively fired everyone who he claims is an “illegal DEI hire” …whatever that means

Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization

Congress are trying to pass the Laken Riley Act to, effectively, round up every immigrant in the country, including LEGAL immigrants

Donald Trump removed caps on prescription drug prices.

Donald Trump wants to withhold federal aid to help combat the LA wildfires and help the thousands of people who have been displaced and lost their homes.

The Department of Justice has put a hold on all civil rights cases.

Donald Trump has cut off aid to Ukraine.

Laken Riley Act has been passed by Congress and is awaiting being signed into law by the President. Here’s the breakdown of the votes: House Senate

Donald Trump purged a dozen inspectors general from the federal government and intends to replace them all with people loyal to him.

Pete Hegseth has been confirmed as Secretary of Defense. Here’s the breakdown of how the Senate voted. Note, it was a 50-50 tie that JD Vance had to break.

Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Colombia after the Colombian government turned away two airplanes carrying migrants. Columbia has retaliated by imposing a 25% tariff of its own on US goods.

Donald Trump has also issued a travel ban for Colombian citizens and revoked visas from Colombian migrants coming to the US.

Donald Trump has now backed off the tariffs and other threats against Colombia. Note for future reference: this comes just hours after Trump made the threat in the first place and he and the Colombian president got into a big fight on social media.

Nearly 1,000 migrants were arrested mostly in Chicago on January 26th by ICE and ICE has been told to meet a quota of 75 migrant arrests every day.

Donald Trump rescinded an anti-discrimination executive order from Lyndon B. Johnson

Donald Trump signed an executive order banning trans people from serving in the military and also ordered that people who were discharged for refusing to get mandatory vaccines be reinstated.

Donald Trump has frozen all federal grants to institutions.

After pressure from state governments, activist groups, and the general public, the White House has rolled back some of the freezes on federal funding.

This.

Donald Trump is trying to fire all federal employees who don’t want to return to the office (work-from-home saves the federal government millions of taxpayer dollars in overhead). He also sent an email to federal employees saying that if they’re not loyal to him, they’ll be investigated.

Donald Trump has signed the Laken Riley Act into law.

Donald Trump has said he doesn’t think Palestinians should be allowed to return to Gaza but instead should be sent to Egypt and Jordan.

Also this.

February 2025

Listen. Listen, guys. Without going into CAM scams because I definitely won't do as well as OP, here's what you can do: Just trust doctors or licensed medical professionals before you just start buying random alternative remedies at home. For no other reason than just basic, legal sense. If you don't trust the doctor you have, for whatever reason, ask for a second opinion. That is your right as a patient seeking care.

Doctors aren't as incentivized to just sell you out to big pharma as you'd think, and not nearly as incentivized as third-party, alternative health gurus to make money. If you don't like something you were prescribed, if its having adverse effects, if its not helping you - tell your doctor. They'll try to find something else for you. If there's medications you don't want to be on for one reason or another, you can communicate that to them.

I have chronic pain, mental health, and breathing issues. I've seen a number of doctors across a number of states, and have never been denied a medication switch unless it interfered with my insurance which at that point, is out of my doctors hands. They still work with me to find alternatives that fit my needs. A good PCP also has incentive to check in with you and see how you're doing.

Licensed medical professionals have the fear of losing their whole ass license and have a much higher risk of being held accountable if they fuck something up. Gurus and people that push shit like cordyceps are literally only selling a product. That's their whole purpose. To sell you something. It doesn't matter if it works. A lot of the time, it does not. You can buy lemon and ginger for less than 5 bucks. Why spend 50 because its in a nice little bottle?

Yes, big pharma is a fucking scam. They still can't sell you untested bullshit. At least, not easily. These dipshits can, and they rarely face actual repercussions.

Please, trust professionals. They clock in, and clock out like the rest of us. Like if you're someone who doesn't want to go to a doctor because they're only paid to sell you shit, definitely don't go to the people who literally only make money by selling you shit.

I just got served an ad on a mobile game that linked to a 45-minute video for a "breathing remedy" and the video is *such* a comprehensive collection of CAM manipulation and lies that I'm considering transcribing it to break down how CAM sales tactics work.

A reminder that a lot of your media is bought right now. The major platforms aren't being paid to show you resistance.

every time you see a headline like this

I want you to remember these ones

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[audacious-unicorn]

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
