Felicia, she/her. Millennial, trans woman. Western NC, USA. Activist? Still figuring it out. I just want everyone to be free and happy.
Everyone should contact their Senators to support the shutdown.

Personally I've been pushing the idea that we can handle 3 months--and this will start states and local govt thinking about alternatives to federal dependency. #ShutItDown

This is a good post that talks about messaging options.

A shutdown could be exactly what the US needs, but we also need to provide the alternatives and support affected families.

I would like to organize a strike card campaign for mutual aid commitments to support Senate Democrats' leverage in this fight. Understanding what is needed is step 1.

140 women and girls are killed every day on average by men they know. 1300 per year in the US.

Condemning violence is condemning christian nationalism, condemning white supremacy, and condemning patriarchy. Full stop.

How to record ICE:

1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

Found this new blogger who really has a great wide view, actionable ideas, and paths forward. I personally really appreciate her intersectionalism but the most important takeaway here is the value in local government participation.

How to Resist the Next Phase
Trump’s end isn’t the end of MAGA. It’s the sequel. The only defense is a coalition, a narrative, and a refusal to normalize JD Vance’s slicker fascism.

Trump may not be dead yet, but when it happens, JD Vance's unpopularity may be less impactful than you think.

#TrumpIsDead , even if/when true, is not necessarily good news. JD Vance was chosen for Trump by Peter Thiel, one of the six largest funders of Project 2025, specifically to position him for this moment. Trump was always a useful cult idol, but an accidental one: JD Vance will be on purpose.

Brief 🧵, as someone who has studied mass shootings for 13 years:

-gender does not cause them
-SSRIs, no
-mental illness, no
-internet/gaming, no

Above can be compounding factors—but motive is complex, often very. The most fundamental combo:

suicidality + rage + isolation + easy access to guns

Yeah this is my complaint right now. I joined the NC volunteer call with democrats and it was all about winning elections and talking about economic policies as if everything was normal.

Useless.
Donald Trump is waging a fascist takeover of the United States.

Democrats are responding the only way they know how: by heeding the advice of the wonks who helped get them into this situation — and whose advice is to avoid discussing what Trump is doing.

Really good advice for activists.
My takeaways:
1) Dogma is easy to construct without noticing. Intellectually check yourself before you wreck yourself.
2) Treat people as individuals, not their groups
3) Be diplomatic: being perceived as a crusader gains you zero buy-in.

I really hope this is more than just supporting Dem party bullshit. I feel like talking about volunteering just for getting democrats elected is a failure to see where we're at and what's needed. Our current situation is a lot worse than party politics can solve.

Still, I'll join and see.
