To reiterate:

Trump's transphobic Executive Orders regarding healthcare and Federal documents are currently unenforceable and are not current actionable policy of the Federal government.

Do not despair.

Do not panic.

And most importantly: do not comply in advance.

Staying alive is a radical act as a trans person in Trump's America.

As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

want to signal boost this article from Waging Nonviolence, because it's doing a lot to help me emotionally navigate the Trump reelection

TL;DR

Trust yourself - honor your own needs, your own emotions

Find others who you trust - fascism and autocracy thrive on social isolation, despair, and overwhelm

Grieve - to move out of shock, be specific about your griefs, name them, and acknowledge them

Release that which you cannot change - trying to react to and fix every problem in the world is bad for your health and is bad political strategy. Especially be careful about posting outrage on social media, a tool that can be overused.

Find your path - see below image ("Your path may not be clear right now. That’s okay. There will be plenty of opportunities to join the resistance.")

Do not obey in advance, do not self-censor - "Political space you don't use, you lose." If you aren't a minor and it is physically safe for you, be loud, be public, be an ally. do not hide who you are now because you anticipate "crackdowns" in the future.

Reorient your political map - "Are we interested in engaging with people unhappy with the regime — whether because they love the current institutions or are unhappy with Trump’s policies on them? Are we able to tell a story that explains how we got here — and do political education? Or are we only interested in maintaining ideological purity and preaching to our own choir?"

Get real about power - Trump will not be stopped by us pressuring elites to do something. we need organized civil disobedience.

Handle fear, make violence rebound - political violence is not as common as fear of violence. refuse to be intimidated by threats.

Envision a positive future - we will get Trump out. there will be an after. we cannot let them tell us what the future will be.

A Guide To Revolution

It’s now or never (repost because you need this rn)

First things first, educate yourself. Read up on those who are currently in power, on similar historical events, leftist political ideologies, etc.

Make sure you find credible sources.

The next thing is to educate those around you, find your community, find other people who are willing to take action in the same way you are and radicalize the ones who aren't sure yet.

Remember, uneducated and ignorant is what they want you to be. Knowledge is power for a reason.

One of the biggest issues with starting revolution is that the masses don't know the power that we hold

Next, organize. Find your local punk scene, anarchists, environmentalists, they're often the first ones willing to take radical action. Start with smaller initiatives and expand from there. Get everyone you know involved

Remind them that this is about more than just them, this is about your future.

I'm not american, otherwise this is exactly what I would be doing, but I send you my support in the form of knowledge

Remember that you have a right to bear arms reason. The lack of gun control is a bad thing, but you can use it to your advantage.

Get connected locally and build mutual aid support networks. You do what you can. If you’re a doctor, provide people with medical help, a seamstress, fix people’s clothing for them, etc.

And if you need help, it goes both ways. Mutual aid.

Do not feed into the economy, help each other instead. Cut out all large corporations that aren’t absolutely necessary, find local alternatives.

You can't start a revolution unless you're educated, healthy, and willing to take risks.

Remember, for a revolution to be successful at least 3.5% of the population needs to be engaged in active resistance

Don’t be a narc. See someone stealing from a Walmart? Look the other way. Someone vandalizing a government building? Look the other way. Doing recreational drugs (safely)? Look the other way. Someone is undocumented? Look the other way.

Have solidarity with your fellow humans, it’s us vs the rich.

Mass civil disobedience can take many forms

Refusal to follow certain laws

Evading taxes entirely

Mass blockages of government buildings and facilities (can also take be storming and taking over)

And on the more extreme end, revolution often requires the assassination or detainment of prominent figures

They don't care about you, take your lives into your own hands
