This pretty much summarizes how it feels knowing what's going to be coming and just having to take it.

Things CAN get better

Fuck off with all "we're cooked" and "there's no hope" or "I can't fight"

Fuck OFF WITH THAT

There ARE things you can do

Small, medium, big, annoying, peaceful, bright, dull, physical, mental

Do LITERALLY ANYTHING

You can start protecting books and literature so they can't erase us, that does a LOT more good than you think!

Start learning languages and protect your new friends, because if you can, you need to step in for poc

If you are poc or can't do the other 2, PROTECT AND WRITE DOWN CULTURE!! Do not let them say you were never here!

Learn history and broadcast it! Someone who actually gives a shit about their country would never hide its history, let people know (especially with the shit trump just did to teachers)

These are things that help but there's so many other things you can do, just figure out SOMETHING to do!

It can involve your fandoms, it can involve your niche interests, just do SOMETHING

We have existed before this and we will afterwards, it's not over, we aren't cooked, and it's not hopeless

Craft your own hope, because it is possible

reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

So many people are finding screenshots of celebrities allegedly doing a 'nazi salute,' to try and discredit what people have been saying about Elon Musk.

My favourite most recently has been a picture of Sabrina Carpenter which can easily be discredited.

This is the picture:

And this is the video:

Yep, it's just a young woman waving to her fans.

And this is why when you ask any of them who post the screenshots for a video, they refuse to add it in. Because they know the video is of somebody doing something very normal.

We are so absolutely screwed.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

Everyone in the US is a woman.

According to Donald Trump’s executive order, "female” means a person belonging at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell, whereas "male” means a person belonging at conception to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

Biologically, all fetuses at conception are female until about six or seven weeks of gestation, meaning Trump has now defined everyone as a female.

Undocumented immigration is the very definition of a victimless crime. They are not taking your tax dollars. They are not eligible for social security. They are not responsible for the jobs crisis, greed and automation is. They pay millions of dollars into social programs they don't benefit from. They are nothing more than the rich and elites scapegoat for all the problems they caused us.

Yet despite this, my home state of Missouri has introduced bill SB72. This bill does a number of things, for starters it changes undocumented immigration from a civil crime to a felony. This prohibits undocumented immigrants from EVER applying for citizenship or a visa.

Additionally, making the crime a felony now means it's punishable by jail time rather than deportation. So, how much jail time does this bill recommend for the crime of undocumented immigration? LIFE IMPRISIONMENT WITH NO CHANCE FOR PAROLE, PROBATION, OR EARLY RELEASE. They don't want these people out of the country, they want them enslaved in Missouri's labor camps.

And if that wasn't bad enough, this bill allows for what they're calling "Missouri Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunters". They are proposing paying citizens $1,000 per person they report to the government as undocumented.

Below, I've attached the official bill summary from the Missouri State Senate website. The sick sack of shit sponsoring this bill is Missouri Senator David Gregory

If you'd like to contact Mr. Gregory, his office is 201 W. Capitol Ave., Rm. 331

Jefferson City, Missouri 65101

His phone number is 573-751-5568

He can also be emailed through this page on senate.mo.gov

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.

I’ll keep adding to this list as new things come up and, again, please feel free to add anything I’ve missed. I know that in this world of constant news it’s easy to forget, so let’s give our future selves a little help!

sorry for being weird and evasive. i was raised to believe that having wants and needs was a moral failing
