“I have come to wonder whether these expressions of despair and surrender are really masking an irrational longing for a magical way out of this nightmare - a hope that some deus ex machina will swoop down and spare us what we are facing.”

Remember that thing where pathological narcissists will project their own insecurities and failings on others to avoid accountability? Yeah.... self appointed Cybertruck king is telling on himself.
Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

I refuse to let the next 4 years ruin the time I have here.
I will have joy.
I will laugh.
I will rest.
I will dance.
I will sing.
I will spend time with folks I love.
I will find ways I can help my community.
I will find the beauty.
I will hold on to peace.
I will live.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I know irl we'll all be participating in the resistance in our own ways and that it's not a pop up overnight thing -- but this totally made me smile.

As others have been pointing out on this app, if you are a eugenicist, natural disasters are your friend. They are a seemingly innocuous way to get away with genocide. Privatized disaster aid means only 'desirables' get to live.
BREAKING: trump is talking about doing away with FEMA, because this paper towel throwing, bleach injection jackass is so good at dealing with disasters.

The fascist math is not mathing. And will never, because it’s always been about upholding white patriarchy.
You guys need to see this and take it in…
Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for,
NO
I don't remember
I haven't seen anyone
I don't know
Fuck off
Ok, maybe not the last one, but erase your memory

ICE is known to employ overt racism and fear tactics when detaining people. Knowing your rights (and the rights of those around you) is so incredibly crucial.

✨Please do not forget that rest is resistance✨
If you’re struggling to unplug, sleep or rest… you’re not alone.
The unrelenting 24 hour news cycle is hard to detach from.
Your nervous system knows it’s under threat. That threat takes a toll…Especially if you’re chronically ill.
Give yourself grace. Flares will happen. We will get through it.

Good ways to keep hope alive as the shitstorm takes hold:
The Revolution Will Not be Televised
-take more Polaroids, take pictures with film
- put an actual pen to actual paper
- talk to people in person
- preserve banned books and science books
- participate in community gardens
- run for office or school board in your town
