Reminder that Trump 2 is so far less efficient at using the deportation machine than Biden or Obama and so is using terror to try and make people self-deport, similarly less effective at utilizing intelligence resources + justice dept and trying to make up for it with terrifying gestapo shit - ThreadSky

Reminder that this country has the most efficient and expansive repressive apparatus in the world for going on five decades and ratcheting up the fear dial is being done simultaneously with a thorough disorganizing and chaotic partial defunding of that apparatus

Reminder that they are extremely unpopular, their grip on power extremely tenuous, and their greatest shield right now is your fear. Reminder that we defeated this man once, both in the streets and the ballot box, and just cuz the Dems wanted to give him another try doesn't mean we're doomed

Reminder that personal rule is extremely difficult to establish even within an already monarchical or dictatorial system and these guys are sitting at a chessboard playing jenga. Reminder the the military is already openly protesting Hegseth and Trump policies, much faster than they did in Trump 1

Reminder that the future is unwritten, that the past is not destiny, that this system was never going to save us anyway, that the Democrats were never anything other than our class enemy, and that radical, dramatic change doesn't only go one way

Reminder that it is reasonable to be afraid, but that owning that fear and looking it straight in the eye is the best way to really know where we are in this moment. Reminder that trans folks, indigenous folks and/or black folks have been in this moment already for a long time

Reminder: there's always something you can do to find and build connection and community. You can always help another person. As long as you are here you are a valuable gift to the world and can let other people know that they are too.

Are they? I didn't realize. Do you have examples you can easily send? Now I'm curious.
