when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

Grieve AND organize.

Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.

If you're trans and you don't have a passport, get one. right now. not in a month, not in a week, get started on it today.

I've lost like 20 followers today, so like sorry if this wasn't clear, but I stand with Ukraine and hate tankies as much as any other group of useful idiot fascists. Hope that helps!

everyone says join your local mutual aid groups and build community, but uh, what do you do if a lot of them seem to have dissolved and the other ones don't have consistent recurring meetings.

I filled out the paperwork to renew my passport and sent it for processing today. I strongly suggest if you're a U.S. citizen and you have a passport expiring soon-ish (mine was late 2025), you do it now, while the Biden administration is running the State Department. There are some fiddly bureaucratic requirements. If you don't have a passport and you're eligible to get one, consider getting one now. It typically takes several weeks to a few months, and the upcoming holidays probably will impact turnaround time. For eligible children who've never had a passport, plan ahead since in most cases you'll need documentation and both parents to sign off and attend an appointment with a passport employee.

I don't want to sound like an alarmist, it's just that if you need to leave the country in a rush because things have gone really south for you and/or loved ones, there likely won't be the luxury of time. Do it now, while there's a competent Democratic government in place, and no immediate threat. Don't do it when some blood and soil Trump appointee is heading up State.

Hey folks. I'm pretty old. I've lived through a dramatic swing to the right and a government taking away my rights before. I even lived in a very conservative country for a while where I was forced back into the closet.

What I want to tell you is that all you need to do is survive, and things get better. Right-wing swings end. Leftward swings will come.

One day at a time. Focus on things you enjoy: fandom, friends, gaming. Gather around your friends and colleagues and create small, warm places for each other. 4 years will be done in no time.

If you have the energy, money and will, help organise and lobby for change and preparation of your next opportunity to clear off the Right. Share money and resources with people who need them. Focus on what you have in common with people so you can cooperate with them.

It will suck, but you can survive it. Then, you will look back on this period in your life in 10 years time and be glad you held on <3

If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:

-2/3 of Senators (60)

-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)

-3/4 of the states (38)

In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.

Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.

so. bad news. we have to keep going tomorrow. good news is that I’ll keep going with you

“Here is what we know for certain: Americans are much, much crueler people than we care to admit to ourselves. Trump closed out the campaign with overt racism and calls for ethnic cleansing, and Americans who voted him either liked the idea of ethnic cleansing very very much, cheering and egging him on, or at worst tut-tutted and claimed that it would be worth it because of some largely fictional belief about the economy being “better” back in the days of mass pandemic death.”
