Here is a list of books that Project 2025 is looking to ban and the reasons for each.

These are the books they are afraid of. These are the books we need to be reading.

SOCIAL MEDIA "ACTIVISM" IS KEEPING YOU FROM ACTUAL ACTIVISM - HERE'S THE TRUTH

You think you're staying "informed" by doomscrolling through your social feeds 24/7? That's exactly what they want. It's literally designed to keep you angry, scrolling, and - most importantly - doing absolutely fucking nothing.

HERE'S WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU:

It's OKAY to edit your feeds so you don't see that shit when you're just trying to exist

You do NOT have to consume the world's suffering every second of every day to be a "good activist" - and by the way? You're not even getting "informed" by scrolling. You need to actually look up real articles OFF of social media to understand what's happening

Hitting like and share isn't activism. Sorry. It just isn't.

You wanna actually do something?

Learn your neighbors' names. ACTUALLY TALK TO THEM about what's happening

Join your school board and ask them face-to-face why they're against queer education

Stand up to your racist uncle instead of "keeping the peace" (peace for WHO exactly?)

Find out what abortion rights groups are ALREADY DOING in your area instead of reinventing the wheel

Join an actually inclusive church (you know, like Jesus would've wanted) and see what they're ALREADY DOING to make the world better

And for fuck's sake, stop saying "oh I don't talk about politics" - YOUR SILENCE IS POLITICAL

NEWSFLASH: You don't have to start the fucking underground railroad by yourself. That shit ALREADY EXISTS - you just never had to use it before. Lucky you. So volunteer if you're a safe person, at whatever level works for you:

Send money

Show up in person

Pack supplies

Make pamphlets

Whatever you can do

Not everything's gonna get you in the history books and you know what? IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER.

And here's something else that matters: Going to trauma therapy - REAL trauma therapy with a therapist informed in decolonization practices - is a RADICAL ACT. If you have the means to do it, DO IT. Healing yourself is part of the work too.

AND LISTEN UP BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT: IT'S OKAY THAT IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG IT'S OKAY THAT YOU'RE STARTING SMALL IT'S OKAY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING

NO ONE EVER PUNISHED THEMSELVES INTO SUCCESS.

You grew up with some racist/sexist views? Yeah, most of us did. You can't get stuck there. There's too much at stake. It's time to deconstruct. It's time to do the work.

But scrolling and sharing posts while feeling guilty? That's not the work. That's what they want you to think the work is.

Get off your phone. Talk to your neighbors. Show up at meetings. Stand up to family. THAT'S the work.

What the media won't show

This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. A lot of universities are going to use this as an excuse to crack down on campus protesting.

If you are a professor, make sure your students are informed of what's going on.

If you graduated from college already, send a message to your alma matar letting them know you stand with students and their right to protest.

And if you are a student, don't stop voicing your opinions. Don't stop protesting. Students have led a lot of protests throughout history, and those protests have helped make policy changes. Don't ever stop being awesome.

Just a reminder the Republicans are a party filled with racists otherwise the house GOP wouldn't have to explicitly tell other republicans to not attack Kamala Harris based on her race or skin tone. Weren't the Republicans and other conservatives talking about judging people based on their character and not on the tone of their skin, guess those guys missed the memo? It's darkly funny they even have reign this in at all, despite all the criticisms you could have of the democratic party they've never have had to keep racism within the party in check for decades especially not now. So keep up the good fight and don't stop spreading awareness of project 2025 peeps, we have our democracy to save!

Unsurprising, to be honest. It's disappointing, as always, but still unsurprising.

This article has a quote written by Deputy Press Secretary Anne Kelly: “This is nonsense: President Trump is leading the most transparent administration in history,”

I would like to clarify to Miss Anne Kelly that we are aware he is being transparent. No one is claiming he is hiding his actions. He broadcasts it to the world. We are aware of what is happening because he is boasting about it.

Donald Trump is not secretive about narrowing our rights as free people. He embraces the applause of his yes-men while he does it.

Would Your Inner Child Be Proud of You?

When I was a child, like many others, I was taught about Nazi Germany in school.

"What a terrible thing," "How could people just stand by when their neighbors were being dragged away to be killed?" "If I had been alive then, I wouldn't have just sat there. I would have been like those heroes who stood up, hid those who were targeted, or broke people out of camps."

Then, I would fantasize about such a scenario—how brave and good I would be, how cool and heroic.

Unfortunately for everyone, no time machine is needed. We are living in such times now. The immigrants, or those who look like it; the ones born in the wrong bodies and fought so hard to change them; those who chose to love someone and have that love returned. We are in danger.

My flesh comes with certain privileges. I can hide for longer from these targeted attacks—perhaps indefinitely, if I throw away my voice and become the echo chamber they crave.

But then I would have to look at that tiny child—the one who knew deep down in their core that they would be good, heroic, and do the right thing—and tell them that when you had just that chance, you were none of those things.

There are things you can live with, and things you cannot. I cannot live with that.

I cannot say I love my country. I have never seen the point in staying loyal to a place that no longer benefits you. But now my country is embarrassing me, and that is far worse. I will not try to help my country because I believe this is a temporary hiccup in an otherwise flawless home and cornerstone of my identity. I will do the right thing so I can tell the world at large that I’m not with them, and my younger self that I did not sit by.

If any of you are still undecided or have already stepped aside and fallen in line, I ask you this:

Would your child self be proud of you and can you live with that answer?

If there’s anyone else out there who’s terrified right now (I know there is) just remember you are not alone and you never will be. We are in this together and we are NOT going back. ❤️
