They aren't wrong

We’re connecting in a way the governments don’t want us to.

11/30/23: KOSA is an anti-LGBTQIA+ censorship bill. It is essential you call THIS week. Tell them you are specifically against KOSA and especially against hotlining the bill.

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the Senator of your choice.

Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/

I agree with most of the advice given here.

However, I must strongly criticize the references to getting through "the next four years".

This language treats what is happening now as, fundamentally, a normal transition in the political system we are familiar with- one where elections are held and power can change hands every four years. It sends the message that however bad it is, we just have to wait it out and survive and it'll be over in four years. It subtly normalizes it, and encourages people to think that if they just keep their heads down they can wait it out. And it gives false hope to people that there is a time limit on what is happening, that they just have to hold out long enough and it'll go away.

But the Felon tried to violently hold onto power in 2020, and he and his allies will be FAR more entrenched, far more prepared to do so in 2028- and will have the Supreme Court's legal immunity ruling, a Federal government largely purged of non-loyalists, and the precedent of their successfully evading consequences for 2020 to back them up.

It's not: "The next four years."

It's "Until the regime is overthrown."

That is the reality now, and we need to start dealing with head-on.

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.

By the way. If yall want to do a small and energy-saving act of resistance...start keeping a journal. No I mean seriously. Document everything about your daily life. Not so much the headlines, but I mean how things are for YOU, personally, every day. Your joys, pains, struggles, lights in the dark. Document it, because there are gonna be a lot of lies and gaslighting down the road in the future, and yes, historians read these and they're important to keep an account of everything happening.

Don't let them erase you from history. Don't let them make up lies to feed the future. We don't inherit the world from our parents, we borrow it from our children. Make sure they have a means to know the truth.
