#america election

[willthespy]

To all the people living in America (POC, LGBTQ+, women, and just humans in general), I just want to say that there is still light at the end of the tunnel. PLEASE be kind to yourselves and don’t give up. I know things might seem (and are) shitty right now, but this is not the end and you will be okay one way or another, even if you have to wait a bit for things to get better. They will get better. You are loved, and if there’s anyone that needs someone to talk to, you can always reach out to me (though I’d recommend sending something to indicate you’re not a bot).

It is not selfish to feel horrible, nor is it selfish to have bad thoughts. You are not selfish, you’re human. I know things are scary, but your life is important.

Lots of love from Europe. Take care of yourselves. <3

Dear people in the USA.. I am really sorry...

I am not American and neither do I live there, but I know Trump winning would mean danger to queer and other vulnerable communities..

You know, today is very dark, and i'm coping hard by being hyped about fandom stuff (thank you Beastars) and lucky tonight me and my friends have a ttrpg session but I know not everyone has a social circle rn for comfort or to cope. I know my brother is a mess and I got a few online American buddies on discord who are crying right now. Doing my best to comfort them,

Just letting you all know you're not alone and don't stop excisting. That's what they want for you to to not just lose your rights but to cease to exist to. Don't. Don't stop breathing, you're braver then you think you are.

I'm so sorry for my American friends I feel you for real. It was like our 2023 elections. Even the percentage is so similar. But you got this my dudes. Keep fighting for your rights!

Lol I know politics isn't popular on this platform but I do have to say I have been so relief that Trump won the election by a lot I am so happy beyond relief the at least 70% Americans still have there head on straight fr. And that we don't have to worry about American economy getting anymore shiter than it already is. And I am glad to say we made the right choice by how much progress he already made with this country 🙌 also now China and Russia wants to co exists as soon as Trump won ge I wounder why. Also he's getting strict the boarders which I don't have a clue on why the boards was so lack luster anyway like bro not everyone can come in. And the democrats are still crying I've been having fun watching there meltdowns online is crazy to me like chill were adults here. I never cried when Joe biden won I mean I did a little but I've never posted it on the internet. Also one of the things that I've been foudlnding funny about the democrats is they say the most weirdest shit about Trump like i would hear what they have to say but everytime words come out of there mouth is all just spiting lies like all the Trump vedios that I've seen and including me meeting him in real life I have never heard him saying that he hates people at all or that there been proof that he committed a crime and unlike the lies you've been telling yourself he cares about America for real I've seen vedios of him helping children and elderly unlike kamala who is in a debt that fuckin Trump offered to pay is with diddy touch lists. So like for those who live in America 🇺🇸 let's enjoy the next 4 years in peace.

Donald Trump is ill. His overall look is of someone fighting a fatal disease. His skin is clammy, pasty white. His face is thin and haggard. He doesn't sleep well. He is getting senile. He will be done soon. #TrumpIsNotWell #KamalaHarris #NoMoreTrump

dear americans,

as a polish queer woman and human rights activist, i know exactly how you're feeling right now and what to expect from these elections. i lived through the 2015-2023 regime of pis, a right-wing populist party that divided families in the same way trump did. i’ve experienced the rise of fascism in poland, the influence of far-right parties like konfederacja, and their “santa’s little helpers”—ordo iuris, an ultra-conservative catholic organization (banned in many countries, mind you) that helped enforce a near-total abortion ban and runs anti-queer campaigns in public spaces. i supported the black protests in 2016 as a middle schooler when they first tried to ban abortion. as an adult, i actively participated in the 2020 women’s strike, running from police tear gas daily after they finally passed the ban. i supported friends who faced charges.

i’ve lived through intense homophobia in poland as a queer teen and adult. i survived the first pride march in my hometown, where far-right extremists threw stones and glass at us. i endured the anti-queer propaganda spread by the ruling party in state-owned media. i survived the “rainbow night,” poland’s own stonewall moment in summer 2020, when police arrested around 50 queer activists following the arrest of margo, a nonbinary activist. i survived the "lgbt-free zones," the targeted violence, the slurs from strangers on the street, and the protests i held against queerphobia. it was hard as fuck, but i survived.

but just because i survived, it doesn’t mean others did. many women died because of the abortion ban—marta, justyna, izabela, dorota, joanna, maria, and many others who didn’t survive pis’s draconian anti-abortion laws. milo, kacper, michał, zuzia (she was 12), wiktor, and other queer and trans kids and young adults took their own lives because of the relentless queerphobia.

despite all of this, our experience in poland can serve as a guide now. here are some tips for staying safe and how we, polish queers and women, organized under the regime:

safety first, always. if you know someone who’s had an abortion, no you don’t. if you know someone is trans, no you don’t. if you know people who help with safe abortions, no you don’t—at least not until you know it’s 100% safe to share. if you are queer or have had an abortion, only share this with people you trust fully. most importantly, not everyone has to be an activist just because they’re part of a minority. if it feels unsafe to share that you're queer, trans, etc., then don’t. it doesn’t make you any less queer.

use secure, encrypted messaging like signal for conversations on potentially risky topics, such as queerness, abortion, organizing counter-actions, protests—anything that might be used against you.

stay anonymous online. if you want to research or report something without surveillance, do not use regular internet. get a vpn (mullvad is affordable and reliable), download the tor browser (for both onion and standard links), and if you plan to whistleblow, consider using a riseup email account.

organize and build networks. community is everything now. support each other, foster independence, because your government won’t have your back. set up collectives, grassroots movements. create lists of trusted professionals—lawyers, doctors, etc.—who can offer support.

to lawyers and doctors: please consider pro-bono work. this is what got us through poland’s hardest times. your work will be needed now more than ever.

for protests or risky actions: always write a pro-bono lawyer��s number on your arm with a permanent marker.
