Everyone keeps saying "four years" as if we are not living in a christo fascist oligarchic dictatorship now. I envy your optimism and naivety.

It's been three days since I originally posted this and I'm here to say

I just told y'all.

The federal grants freeze today was an attempt to break the US Constitution. It aimed to defund programs passed by LAW because they don’t align with maga “ideology.” He’s already got the Supreme Court in his pocket and now Congress is letting him wrestle lawmaking power from them…

This is a really really loud and obnoxious canary in the coal mine yall. Listen to it!!!

Hello Everyone, My name is Tareq, and I am the father of three beautiful daughters. 🇵🇸

I live in Gaza. Our home was destroyed by a powerful bomb in November 2023, and with it went all our memories. Since the war started in October 2023, we have been displaced more than nine times, constantly fleeing death and destruction. I have lost my cousin, many dear friends, colleagues, and loved ones. 💔

My sister was severely injured in her leg. She lost her knee entirely and had to be sent to Turkey for treatment in November 2023, where she has undergone multiple surgeries, the most recent being the installation of an internal plate and a knee joint replacement in December 2024. 🩺

Now, my wife Samar, our three daughters (Sham, Masa, and Wateen) and I are living in a makeshift tent made of wood and fabric. Life here is hell. The cold is unbearable, we sleep shivering from the freezing temperatures. My daughters are suffering from many illnesses, including jaundice and severe stomach infections due to the lack of clean water and food. The latest to fall ill is my daughter Masa, who is suffering from a severe deficiency in vitamins, calcium, and iron, also caused by the lack of proper food. ⛺

Our youngest daughter, Wateen, was born during the war on November 16, 2023. She needs baby formula, diapers, and proper nutrition that every child deserves, but I am unable to provide any of these things due to the sky-high prices. 👶🏻

I created this campaign to help my family survive. The funds will be used to buy food, water, and medicine for now, and later to secure temporary shelter. And a portion will be used to get my family out of the horrors of war and start a new life for my children. 🙏🏻

I ask for your help. Please donate if you can, and share our story with your family, friends and communities. Every little bit counts, and together, we can give my family the chance to survive and one day rebuild our lives. 🍉

Thank you for your compassion and support. Your kindness will mean the world to us. ❤️

Hi yall. Friendly reminder that the Armenian genocide was disguised as a deportation of criminals but really they just killed more than 50% of all Armenians in one year and people were silenced for speaking up about it. Information on it is still buried and there is some evidence indicating that Armenians in the Ottoman Empire had been prosecuted and killed for decades before the genocide.

Research Armin T. Wegner. He’s a powerful figure we could all learn from

We're not just asking for help — we're fighting to survive.

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #324 )✅️

NOTE: OUR CAMPAIGN IS VETTED BUT IT WAS CANCELLED FROM GFM FOR NO REASON, SO WE CREATED A NEW CAMPAIGN. IT'S IN THE PINNED POST.

The situation has become harder than ever. Our campaign isn't receiving much support, and donations have been very limited — but Alhamdulillah, we're still holding on.

We truly need your help now more than ever.

We need food

We need to reach our goal — to find a place we can call home, to put food on the table, and to rebuild our work so we won't have to rely on donation campaigns anymore.

Your support, no matter how small, means everything to us.

Thank you for standing with us.

It's a heist. Elon is the fraud. DOGE is the fraud. The coders destroying databases are the waste.

Was reading an article about how the hospital where I got top surgery has paused gender affirming care for minors and 18 year old adults, and the headline of the article was "It shouldn't be happening here," said by a doctor at the hospital.

I get why the doctor said that. I completely understand. This is a hospital in New York City. It has a robust trans healthcare program. But at the same time, if it shouldn't be happening here, where should it be happening? To whom? To the hicks down south? In red states?

I think a lot of people in blue states, including some trans people, think that all of the violent transphobia reigning down from this administration won't really affect them. They agree that it is bad, and they feel bad for the people it will happen to, but it's not for them. It's for the unlucky schmucks who are too stubborn or too poor or too culturally backward to move up north or out west. (That sentence was sarcastic, if it wasn't obvious.)

The thing, though, is that it is happening here. It is happening everywhere. Did you really think NYU Langone wasn't going to bend at the knee with their government funding threatened? Did you really think their administration gives a genuine flying fuck about trans youth? Trans 18 year olds? They don't. They will dismantle the entire gender affirming healthcare program if the government tells them to. It will be left to the patients and doctors to file lawsuits to try to get it back.

I don't really have a point here other than to implore people who grew up in blue states/liberal areas to realize that you are not divinely protected from anything, nor are trans/queer people in red states harboring some original sin that means their oppression is inevitable. I don't think many of you actually think this on a conscious level, but the "it shouldn't be happening here" clued me into what I think is going on more subconsciously pretty often.

Jared Yates Sexton at Dispatches From A Collapsing State:

At the end of last week I released an episode of Audio From A Collapsing State talking about the emotional toll of the first few days of the Trump Administration. I think it was pretty obvious that it was designed to be a blitz of executive orders and action intended to assert power. Authoritarianism is weaponized abuse and as it is realized it communicates to the subject an inability to stop the will of the authoritarians and reinforces a sense of powerful isolation. Well. We made it through the first week. It was hard. It was painful. And I’m sure some of us are worse for wear.

I want to emphasize once more the need for self-care. Any attempt to organize and fight back begins with protecting yourself and ensuring you’re all right, energized, and prepared for the next onslaught. Talk to people you can trust. Establish actual reality outside of this nonsense they’re peddling. Remember to continue thinking about a better future. Limit the time authoritarians can affect you by logging off and sealing yourself off. And try and find things that bring you joy and, if possible, produce tangible artifacts that demonstrate how projects that take time and energy lead to things. Considering the toll, I do want to take a moment today to discuss something hopeful. That’s difficult, of course, when the President of the United States is joking about seeking a third term between cutting off federal funding, flagrantly violating the law multiple times, attacking the Constitution, attempting to expel transgender people from the military and culture writ large, and immigration raids are ongoing. I’m sure that paragraph alone was tiring, because of course it is. Never mind that it doesn’t even begin to cover the things that have happened in just the past couple of days. But that feeling, as powerful as it is, also leads us to the subject of hope. Because it is overwhelming, because it is exhausting, because it is chaotic and unarguably wrong, we are beginning to see signs that this will not continue on unabated and unopposed.

The Backlash

It’s necessary sometimes to put yourself in the shoes of the authoritarian. This helps in understanding key components of the ideology, but also in anticipating what directions they might go. I’ve been doing this for years now and I can admit it isn’t fun in any way, shape, or form. Regardless, it does pay dividends. When it comes to the implementation of authoritarianism, there are different strategies. You could roll it out slowly, which we have seen to some extent over the past few years. Then, there are moments in which things speed up. Sometimes this comes after an especially painful and motivating crisis, like the burning down of the Reichstag or a terrorist attack. In these situations, things change very quickly.

The emotional experience of authoritarianism riding on the back of a crisis is chaotic-making and, as we’ve seen in the 21st century, it can lead to insane scenarios like the bipartisan backing of the so-called War on Terror. But, presently, we’re in a different place. Donald Trump’s presidency already feels like it’s lasted several months. This is a result of a flurry of action that runs counter to how most administrations tend to ease into place and take a measured, careful approach. Instead, Trump is carrying out the agenda given to him by the think-tanks and institutes run by his billionaire benefactors, engaging in gleeful cruelty, destroying any government projects that don’t benefit the wealthy, and handing everything over to the oligarchs who have bought him.

This is a vulnerable period for authoritarianism as it is a stark departure from what we have seen in the past. The blitz was meant to push us kicking and screaming into a reality of their choosing, but the haphazardly aggressive nature of the push gifts us an incredible opportunity. If we can manage to get out of the dirt, dust ourselves off, and begin to look for openings, we might very well find purchase we thought, and that feels, nearly impossible.

[...]

I want to start here by saying I do not believe that the most diehard MAGA acolytes will suddenly realize they backed the wrong horse when the consequences of Trump’s action take form. That’s not how any of this works. They hold a religious dedication to him and are inundated constantly with enough of mis and disinformation and propaganda to override any cognitive dissonance. Economic troubles and even the eradication of programs that specifically affect them will be blamed on the “Deep State” or insidious conspiracy theories. That’s not what we’re talking about here. But Trump’s orders to pause federal funding, slash programs, and the general dysfunction and chaos leading to consequences (including his weekend spat with Colombia affecting prices) will change the paradigm with some. There are many individuals, from all walks of life, who are going to be negatively impacted. This includes the funding of studies, experimental drugs and treatments, any number of other downstream effects will touch people’s lives. Some people are going to die. And, when you add that to the upcoming trauma of seeing friends and neighbors and community members, including children, being rounded up by aggressive mobs of ICE officers, it will generate backlash.

For some, this will be stuff they read about on the news, but for so many people this is going to be lived experience that affects their daily lives. Federal employees are already feeling it and the people associated with their programs have had enough in the first week. Now, we’re getting into god knows how many ongoing programs that are going to be cut or decimated. This is going to exacerbate pressure in so many workplaces and communities, and the catharsis Trump is offering his dieheards - the pleasure of seeing “elites” and vulnerable communities inflicted with pain - will have no reward whatsoever for them. Instead, it will be real material conditions. Despite what Trump and the oligarchs behind him think, there are ripples from all of this. We’re likely to begin seeing labor strife, community uprisings, and a changing of the tide. The furious nature of it all, not to mention how dysfunctional and unprofessional Trump and his billionaires are, only makes mistakes more inevitable and for consequences to mount. The question now is how this will be answered. And authoritarians are quick to violence and suppression.

Jared Yates Sexton wrote a solid piece on how we fight MAGA authoritarianism.
