Red Hats

The groceries prices decreases The rate of hate crimes increases Red hats symbolize power Identifying danger to anyone different White, straight, wealthy in control Everyone else, we cower I am scared for the future Will we survive four more years? Will we still be united? Nothing done so far has managed to Decrease my ever growing fear. -Nicole Smith, Momoetry My voice is small, my…

Hey! What's wrong?

The world's falling apart? Oh my...

Yeah, it's scary. Trust me I know. But we will prevail.

We will fight, we will fail, we will win, and we will prevail.

Let's just sit here for a minute. We will be okay... eventually.

me trying to be optimistic and encouraging: you think WE have problems let's talk about the time Athens fucked up so badly they panicked and dismantled their own democracy and realized five minutes later it had been a horrible mistake and dismantled the new system in order to slink back to their democracy

(I actually do find ancient history very soothing, but I do understand that sometimes the connections aren't obvious or. you know. soothing. also I cannot emphasize this enough, classical Athens had so many other problems.)

[the-potus-is-a-russian-asset]

This should be obvious to anyone with even a basic understanding of world history. The enabling of the Russian propaganda machine via American media and the dismantling of our educational system were all carefully planned to enable this destruction of our constitution and government. MAGA (Moscow Agents Governing America) is in reality, the work of Putin to weaken the USA and make Russia most powerful country in the world.

joe sr when joe jr dies so now all this political aspirations fall on his 27 year old son jfk who's still riddled with the trauma of losing his older brother

American politics below, please consider reading no matter your country of origin but of course feel free to ignore if needed! <3

TO EVERYONE WHO IS BACK ON TIKTOK RIGHT NOW — when you start seeing all that horrible shit of people being *mass reported by ICE because of the trump administration who put a 90 day extension on tiktok, we’re already being used to funnel more money into their pockets for watching the horrors.

(*edit 01/22/25: ah, turns out, he doesn’t want us to see that to the point of actually censoring it entirely. not sure why i thought he may stand behind the imagery of what he’s actually doing but i stand corrected. contrarily, now we will see what it’s like when everyone gets censored for using their actual freedom of speech not otherwise including ‘offensive’ language, specifically and only freedom of speech that does not follow the beliefs of the trump administration. does this behavior sound familiar to anyone else or…)

PLEASE do not fall for it, stay off tiktok, use rednote and delete all meta apps. we cannot be swayed into failing our democracy with fast entertainment. for the love of everyone in this country and the world as a whole, please do not continue using tiktok — at least not in good conscience. every single one of us matter and therefore need to stand up. there are FAR more of us than there are billionaires.

stay safe and healthy, and look out for one another! <3

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans. Those who aren’t American, happy Thursday to you. May you and yours come together and celebrate the existence of family. Your family. Our family as a nation.

In the eyes of history it wasn’t that long ago when European settlers were struggling to survive on this land far from their home. With help from the natives and determination we rose to the dominant power on earth. May we use these forces for good and reject that which would lead us to less noble causes. ☮️💟🇺🇸

if you voted for trump fucking unfollow me, i don’t want anything to do with you ignorant motherfuckers.

Undecided U.S. Citizens Please!

Immigrants are what make up this country. America is and always has been a melting pot of people from all of the world. That's the entire message that the United States has always made. This country is meant to be a safe place for every human being on earth, and under Trump's control, it will not be. My reach is small but I urge you. Please care for your fellow friends, coworkers, and neighbors and vote Kamala Harris.

[thehetrophobe]

Ever notice how Defaults put the gay relationships in children's cartoons at the end of the series itself, then turn and expect a medal from us?

Lol what for? Cowardice? 🤣🤣

Looking at you, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Legend of Korra, and Arthur 👀👀

[gryficowa]

Boycott!

Remember, Democrats covered their ears when Israel's victims were mentioned, and Harris silenced activists by using the Trump scare as if he were a boogymen

You won't swipe it to the left, but it has already swiped you to the right

Now that I have your attention:

[snailstrailz]

Saw a debate over in Twitter on Uncle Grandpa vs Bill Chiper, lots of people say Uncle Grandpa would win, but tbh I think it would be a stalemate. But who cares? Imma ask y'all.

The honeymoon is over for Trump. Actually, the honeymoon was probably over on Day 2. He is the first president to be under water at the beginning of his administration in a Gallup poll. And in the month since then, he's fallen from -1 down to -6. That was according to Gallup. The more generous Quinnipiac poll originally put Trump at +3, but now has him at -4. That a fall of 7 points, a 1 point greater drop than Gallup.

Trump said he would bring down inflation on "day one". Instead, he's putzing around with Apartheid Elon, planning to get the US involved in a forever war in Gaza, and starting an inflationary trade war with America's allies.

Worst of all, Trump is effectively surrendering America to Vladimir Putin. The percentage of Americans who agree with Trump getting in bed with a Russian dictator is in single digits.

As for Apartheid Elon, his approval rating is even worse than Trump's. A clear majority of Americans don't like having an unelected foreigner effectively running the government in Trump's name.

Don't be afraid to speak out about Trump in real life. More people may agree with you than you think.

The three people in real life you should ABSOLUTELY express your opinions to are your two US senators and your US House member. All senators and reps have offices in their home districts/states in addition to the ones in DC. If convenient, visit those local offices during business hours. If the congressional staffers there agree with you then thank them; positive reinforcement will encourage them to continue on the right path. Tell the ones that are continuing to support Trump's unpopular policies that unless their bosses change, you will personally encourage friends and neighbors to vote against them; be firm but polite.

Look up the people serving you on Capitol Hill at these links.
