For those who feel lost and struggling with what to do and lost in the #doomscroll and feel ill-equipped to deal with the #fascism we find ourselves surrounded by.
I wrote this post for you on how to take your first steps toward #action and #resistance.

"Black people, Indigenous people, all People of Color, know oppression far more intimately than white people ever care to know or remember. And they bear knowledge of how to face it in ways most white people will only begin to experience now."

"When you choose who to follow on social media, are you following the ones who are yelling about how bad it is? Or are you following the ones who are doing something, who are giving examples of what to do, who are giving hope through action and not thoughts and prayers?"

"It's too late to read 1984, that's a cautionary tale. Now is not time for caution, but for action. Sure, read it. But that's not the assignment, that's extracurricular."

"There are two reasons. Sure, they want to achieve the goals laid out in their actions. But there's something more: it's a psychological trick. This is something people experienced in intelligence operations are very familiar with."

"Lately, the more you read, the more terrified you get. You see the overwhelming amount of terrible things unfolding and you feel powerless to stop them.
This is by design."

"Accept that you are not paranoid, you are having an authentic and rational response to what is happening and that anyone pretending this isn't what it is, is either lying to themselves in an attempt to feel better, completely oblivious, or they are lying to you"

"They're not just censoring information they don't want you to know, they're manipulating your emotions & draining your energy & time. In fact, they're often happy to keep you informed as long as you remain glued to your phone doing nothing, feeding the monster, the algorithm, the #fascist takeover"

"Remember, the #fascists want you to feel afraid, exhausted, and helpless. They want you to spend all of your time watching it unfold while you struggle to keep up with the tsunami. It is intentional. It keeps you from taking action. It allows them to undergo their terror unopposed."

"#Queer and #trans people bear their own complex histories of oppression and genocide... But again, queer and trans survival and resistance has often been built on the shoulders of tactics learned from and spearheaded by queer and trans people of color, specifically."
