gripped by the fact i'll never be as young as i was and i am forever changed by the things i know now that i didn't know then and the things i care about now that used to never cross my mind and i know ill continue to change and learn new things and look back with similar eyes but i will never be as wide eyed as i was before and that hurts my stomach

you could say that the world’s richest man was stupid and impulsive enough to do a nazi salute on stage twice without considering the backlash, but really what I think happened is the world’s richest man implicitly or explicitly calculated that in the current political and medial environment he could do a nazi salute on stage twice and not suffer any adverse consequences. which is worse. a lot worse.

I just read that Donald Trump and his circus took down a website called reproductiverights.gov

This was a website to help women learn about their reproductive rights in the US and to find health care.

This is absolutely disgusting so I’ll share in this post some resources in case you need them:

if you don’t remember anything else for the next 4 years, remember this: don’t be a fucking snitch.

"you guys are brainwashed idiots if being on rednote is what woke you up to chinese people being actual humans" might be swinging at a hornet's nest here but firstly, better late than never, secondly, we are aware that chinese people are learning the same about americans too, yes? there are fully grown adults on rednote who thought homeless americans were homeless on purpose because they're lazy and didn't learn the truth of it until americans told them otherwise. it does go both ways here. don't wish for change and then turn around shitting on the people who are changing

sometimes you realize you're no longer 22, six months after turning 23 to be exact

hey! if you have any meta accounts check who you're following (especially if you have a big number of followers or a business account) because people are being automatically opted in to following the new president and vice president and they're hiding their accounts from search so that it is harder to unfollow 🙃

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.

For anyone wondering, this is a partly comprehensive list of the Executive Orders (EOs) signed on Inauguration Day yesterday.

An even more comprehensive list with links to every EO can be found here.

Sign up with an email, no actual address required, and you are good to go 🏳️‍🌈

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

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.

this is all i can think of at the moment, but i’ll be adding on to this as the day continues.

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