Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

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.

Quick reminder that it's always morally correct to punch nazis.

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

As someone who grapples with suicidal ideation on the daily:

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES KILL/HARM YOURSELF. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE LEFT IN THIS WORLD THAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR. A DARK TIME DOES NOT MEAN A DARK TIME FOREVER. WE CAN BE DISTRESSED AT WHAT MAYBE LOST - BUT HOLD ON AND GROUND YOURSELF.

YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO GO OUT THIS WAY, LIVE DESPITE THIS RESULT. LIVE IN SPITE OF HIM. WHATEVER EMPOWERS YOU MORE.

Please don’t relapse because of the election.

Please don’t relapse because of the election.

I know feeling despair and or out of control is one of the biggest triggers out there and this is not an easy pill to swallow.

But continuing to thrive while Trump and his supporters rely on your downfall is the best way to tell them all to go fuck themselves.

It’s okay if you see this too late and you have already relapsed because of the election. Just please try your best to not let the failure in democracy lead to a failure in recovery. Relapse is normal, this election is not.

Please stay safe and stay with safe people. It’s okay to miss work or take off school tomorrow if that is an option. This is emotionally taxing and highly stressful. Take care of yourself. Thriving right now is the best revenge you can get on Trump and republicans.

Reports are coming out that Harris is leading in Iowa.

So what does this mean for Iowa voters?

Iowa was red in 2020 and has historically been red. As someone who lives in AZ, a red state that is now a swing state, it is entirely possible to flip a state or at least make the Republican Party sweat. So if you are in Iowa and were considering not voting because “your vote won’t count in a red state anyways”, please get out and vote.

Obviously polls can be inaccurate, but how great would it be if we could flip a state that republicans considered an easy victory?

Iowa also allows same day in person registration!!! So if you are over 18 and a U.S. citizen who resides in Iowa it is not too late! Click here for info on voting in Iowa: https://voterready.iowa.gov/registertovote/

I also have a list of voting resources here!

"do it for the plot" genuinely motivates me to put myself out there even if i'm scared. like if i was a character would my story be interesting?? or would it be bland bc i'm sheltering myself all the time instead of going out of my comfort zone?? these thoughts incentivize me to apply myself to things even at the risk of them not going my way

Washington State Department of Natural resources tweets:

(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)

Please.

Folks, seriously.

PLEASE.

Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.

URGING you to consider firework alternatives:

- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky

- dropping a stack of large books on the floor

- wrapping a toga around a candle

- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos
