#United States of America

Masses of people are marching against Trump outside in DC today while Trump is moving his inauguration indoors because of the cold weather. Quite the contrast.

Um? - January 19th, 2025

So as of now, TikTok was restored in the U.S. - we all got a little message from the app praising Donald Scumbag Trump. Which is 100% propaganda and political theatre.

I still plan on leaving the app as well as anything Meta and X related come tomorrow when that POS takes office.

One thing I do want to acknowledge is what was said about Americans after the TikTok shut down - many of us are a victim of circumstance. This is where we just so happened to be born. Do you really think we enjoy being the laughingstock of the world? This country is 100% an oligarchy! Half of us are educated and DID NOT vote to reelect him! I didn't! I never voted for him and never will!

I am a historian, I study History - specifically WWII and the Holocaust as well as anything pertaining to genocide, fascism, and the like. Ever since 2016, I have been screaming from the rooftops that this is the path we are on. I am going on 22 years old this year and I knew way back then that this place is a huge mess, and I don't want to live in it! I want to live where I am not going to fear for my life going to school or a grocery store! I want to be able to afford groceries and healthcare and I want my kids to have a good quality education! I am not rich! Being able to eat tomorrow is hardly in my budget let alone being able to leave. I have a list of places I'd love to be a citizen of instead of the U.S. but now I see just how much my fear of being welcomed is validated.

It reminds me of the Handmaid's Tale, when the Canadians started attacking American refugees who escaped Gilead. My ancestry originated from mainly Ireland, Switzerland, and Scottland. I still have close relatives that live in Switzerland. You all see what Trump says he wants to do - if I would leave for the fear of my safety as a bisexual, non-Christian, single woman with a baby on the way, would I be understood and welcomed? Or would I receive hate and backlash for being an invader? All because I'm sick of living in constant fear?

This country is not what we are indoctrinated from the age of 5 to believe it is. It is full of suffering, struggle, and oppression on levels many of you don't see. My parents were drug addicts. I was raised by my grandmother who gets no aid or support from anyone and now works part time. The "American Dream" is just that, a dream.

Americans may very well need help in the not-so-distant future, who will be there to help us? Or will we all be condemned?

Xenophobia isn't exclusively American...

I am fucking done with this bullshit. I don’t care how much abuse from other people I may face or the slurs I will get called or the beatings I will get, I’m walking the halls of the fucking campus with a trans pride pin because by god whatever torture I have to endure is worth it if I can let local trans people around me IRL know there’s someone there for them, and I suggest people who can do so should too.

I know for a damn fact we need another Stonewall Riot and it’s likely we would be shot and killed where we stand more than we already are if not for those people who were there for each other in a world fighting against them. My main goal in life was to become a marine biologist and I don’t give a shit if that’s ripped away from me because this world will have to pry it from my cold dead hands and I’ll die before I stop screaming from the rooftops.

It’s been proven by Luigi Mangione that we are fucking terrifying to our oppressors and the upper class if we push hard enough, and if that was just one person just think of an entire community doing just that. I refuse to live in a world where people are killing themselves just because old demented cis men in suits say so. This is the time for a revolution. We’re all pissed the fuck off and it’s time we do something about it. Live out of spite of those men because you know if you do, you will see them die just like they wanted us to.

I implore you to like and reblog this. Take this to more people, because that’s what we need now more than ever. This isn’t even about trans people, because I can sure as hell tell you if trans people go first, everyone else is going next.

Live or die, we do so with pride.

I think the reason why Il Ducebag pretends to be pro-peace regarding Ukraine, but is threatening a three-day special military operation against Panama is because no Americans are dying in Ukraine. It's not a good war to him unless Americans are dying in it, seeing as he hates Americans and America.

(The real reason is, of course, that he's a hypocrite and his followers are a cult.)

So TikTok is unbanned…why isn’t CapCut unbanned?

[aci25]

The TikTok ban has nothing to do with China, and everything to do with Israel.

anyways, because there is a different pressing matter in the country right now:

on day one of his presidency (jan 20th), donald trump is declaring a national emergency. immediately following this (jan 21st), he will be issuing mass deportations and ICE raids. these raids will occur in busy places such as parks, playgrounds, schools, stores, and various workplaces.

THE FIRST CITY THEY WILL TARGET IS CHICAGO.

this will last for ONE WEEK in Chicago and immediately spread to other major metro areas across the country. New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, etc.

this is confirmed and this is being reported everywhere. this is not fear mongering, this is a genuine warning and you need to be prepared.

please know your rights. please stay safe.

[jenevawashere]

rebologing this cos the world is going to shit and I have recently realized I am borderline nihilistic.

Can’t believe we live in a day and age where I have to say this.

I’ve decided that I’m gonna keep wearing my pride pins.

If I die within the next four years; it’ll either be natural causes or a fucking hate crime.

A comic I drew about leaving the Mormon church.

Can also apply to other things. Ex. constitutional originalism in the US
