I am a disabled intersex person living with disabled parents. I am trapped and feel utterly powerless, my social circle is small because I am confined to home so I feel like I have nobody fighting for me when I lose everything. I am so scared
I’m bi and disabled with a disabled child who requires almost constant attention. I am able to work a part time job that’s typically 11pm-4am while my kids sleep. I feel the same way, small circle, trapped and scared.
I feel so powerless and don't even know where to begin. We live paycheck to paycheck already. I guess I should start with planning how to keep my kids from being hungry?
Go to your library- see if they have seeds. Get seeds you can grow in containers. Check thrift stores for old pots or dishes that you can grow plants in. Container plants: tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, sprouts, carrots (deep stock pots). Make a trellis with sticks for cucumbers, squash, beans.
We’ve stockpiled a lot of canned and frozen items including meat. So far that’s my plan…not much of one but this is the first of two storage cabinets that will hold some of it.
One of the first things that fascist states do is to to shut down all social media to hinder resistance connections - Make sure you have different kinds of contacts for social media friends such as email and phone numbers.
Make sure you have phone numbers and emails for all members of your distant family, in case one person is taken out, the rest can still communicate.
Gather as many phone numbers as possible for All like minded people - the strength lyes in connections
A woman from Afghanistan who lived through three wars says you can live on lentils and water -stock up on some cheap protein such as this.
It is dried , compact and needs no refrigeration.
They want you to feel powerless. First buy a good herbal and foraging books. Learn how to find food from the woods and what you can do for medicine. Buy seeds NOW. Plant for the summer season. Bulk up on canned proteins like tuna, salmon, etc. Buy dried beans, pastas, whatever has a long shelf life.
If there's one thing you can cook from scratch, teach them. Also, teach them how to grow some kind of seed food. Seeds are fairly cheap and it's fun to grow things.
First thing. Dump companies that fund Trump and the oligarchs.
Dump X
Dump all thing Meta
Dump Amazon
Dump Wallmart
Try your best to shop local small stores.
Research the companies you spend your money- where they stand.
The wheels have fallen off this rickety country, and it's being hollowed out. This is so much more than the price of eggs. It's a deliberate crash of the economy. And an unelected billionaire has access to the government financial system.
Dems are asleep at the wheel and anyone who thinks this is all simply politics is nuts. Special shout out to all of my academic friends whose institutions don't know how to deal with these NSF shutdowns and everything else. This will be brutal.
I'm not saying Democrats are doing all they could but many spoke out against the spending freeze based on the EOs and state AGs who are Democrats filed a (so far) successful lawsuit to stop the freeze.
If you're inclined to fight, pick a lane and start pushing. If you aren't, help people who can't. Because it won't be too long from now that this criminal regime will ask people to snitch on each other. Already happening with government employees- FBI anyone?
If you are a woman they already snitch on you…laws in Texas and other states pay out money for reporting anyone assisting with an abortion including the uber driver.
I did not know their gov is DEI, wow.
My sister lives in Kentucky, she’s a great democrat and has many dem friends at work, there is hope….
I’m from Ohio and we are going down the tubes at a fast pace, absolutely sick about losing Sherrod Brown.
This won't be temporary. Just wait until Trump and Musk take an axe to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, head start, and food stamps. When they kick out the people who feed us, don’t expect sympathy from me. I will, however, feel the impact of their ignorance, and that’s the real tragedy.
Correct. It’s already happening. It’s been happening.
Do not look to the Federal Government for anything to help people. If you live in a blue state, work valiantly to protect your State’s Democratic and independent leaders. Stop doing business with the billionaire corporations.
Psychos believe they are special & the rest of us deserve enslavement. Just the crypto/AI alone are hastening the climate crisis cuz they use so much energy, much less their stupid rockets. These almost comically evil billionaires need to be eliminated & their wealth confiscated. It’s us or them.
I can grant the grace that it's only been 14 days and probably even worse than they imagined with the bonus of having to see these a holes face to face, but they are going to have to get it together real quick.
this is all about racism and misogyny...get women and minorities out of the workforce, using lies about DEI and christianity, so white men don't lose power...the racism is not even hidden anymore...
There is no wheel anymore, and in a very short period of time, political parties and a separation of powers will be irrelevant. The entire idea of a representative government, 3 branches, all of it will be gone soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpPTRcz1no
It’s mind blowing how many people are still not paying attention, have no idea what is happening. Just blithely living their life like everything is normal.
Someone in my life literally said to me yesterday “oh God will take care of us, no need to worry” 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
The solid the death and resurrection of Jesus did us only kicks in once we died. God doesn’t love us enough to guarantee any more assistance than that.
I sat in stunned silence so long she asked me if I was still on phone. I seriously wanted to yell at her.Didn’t, because I know it would be counterproductive. Asked her how long her mom could survive w/o her SS payments before she’d need to move in with them. Was her turn to sit in stunned silence 🤷🏻♀️
I rely completely on SS and Medicare. If (or most likely when) it fails, I have no plan. My family would help me of course, but they will be in trouble too.
I don’t expect them to snatch that up just yet… that would create a huge upheaval but if counter measures are not taken soon everything is up for grabs. I’m sorry that they don’t give a fuck about people .
I actually got a little comfort from reading your answers to some of the replies. Small is ok. I have chickens, I will have a small garden, and I’m used to getting along with not a lot. But my heart aches for my sons and my granddaughters 😭
We can only hope that the idiots realize they would create an immediate crisis by doing this. Many of us would be without $ to buy food and homeless in a few months or less.
We need to file a class action lawsuit on behalf of all US citizens against Treasury, Musk and his little staffers, for breach of private information of all US citizens!
With help from people on Bluesky I have collected some links to other countries' disaster preparedness or civil resilience advice, which may be helpful.
Here is the Norwegian website (click Engelsk for English version)
Hopefully things in the US won't get too extreme, but it's much better to make preparations for hard times and not need them than it is to face hard times you chose not to prepare for.
No I read the fees are high. but I am making sure my money is in a trust. Could not help but my trust attorney thinks it makes it harder for them to grab it.
Exactly I worked so hard to get where I am no family money made it all myself I will be so pissed if they take it! Side note when he was president last time I bought a laundromat to keep it out of the bank. 🤪
I’m reconsidering my attendance one because I am sick right now and two I don’t want to drive over an hour if it’s a trap 🪤 there’s other ways to deal with everything
Everyone has the right to choose what they do. I am not sure but I am going to try. I sprained my shoulder and the pain radiated to my chest and back. Plus I have to bus it there.
Suggestions anyone? Working class family here feeling exposed to what's to come and unsure of what to do to prepare ourselves. At least when there was a pandemic we had a community to help each other through it. This is uncharted waters.
Home can like Hell! All you need are some Mason canning jars with lids and a hot bath canner. A pressure canner is also recommended for canning meat (very easy to do, I might add) All available at WalMart. Lots of "how to" on youtube.
Loved this message 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Especially if they decide one day to stop payments, social security, Medicare.
Maybe even 401ks-think they can’t?
The elite in Congress sure won’t care.
I live paycheck to paycheck and have a mountain of debt. I don't think there is much reality of me having a plan. I don't even have a passport. What could I do?
A call to Arms for all Ghosts, Phantoms, Ninjas,Shadows etc. Your future and the future of this country is at stake. You know your hack skills use them. We must bring down Trump and his Nazi puppet Master Musk. This is a cyber war, not on the field but at your fingertips.
I appreciate this sentiment very much, but many of us (like me) have no idea what a "plan" might consist of. Anything could happen now, from a bank freeze to food shortages to one or more major system failures (power and internet come to mind) to terrorist attacks (foreign and domestic).
I feel you. So many just say “prepare” but then don’t elaborate. I have bought a solar/crank radio, have food & water for 3 weeks, small power bank + portable solar panel to recharge. Copy of DL and passport. 1 extra month of meds. Water filter. 2 months rent saved up. Candles. $200 in cash.
Oh and kn95 masks/sanitizer/gloves in the event of h2h bird flu. Get your recommended vaccines now. Extra pain & allergy meds. I have zero clue what to do about my savings and 401k. I am not wealthy. I fucking hate Trump & his gang of thugs. We must support each other/keep resisting his BS. 🤬🇺🇸
My plan right now is to do some of these things that left wing and progressives are suggesting as ways to fight. A move to Canada would be next but I have a mother with dementia in a nursing home here in Buffalo.
Good plan! Now that you say that -
Studying Spanish in University early 90s we read a number of books, one called Cajas de Carton
They talked about migrant farm workers sustaining themselves from that very diet along with spices for flavor (dried spices in bulk go a long way!)
- Check supermarket sales. Broths, soups, nuts, non-perishables.
- Then hit Army Navy stores and stock up on basics.
- Buy a cheap ($25) two-way radio (baofeng uv-5r) and watch basic YT videos on how to scan for channels.
- And if you haven't already. Arm yourself.
There are other protective weapons besides guns. Example: I have a really awesome high powered pepper spray gun. It looks just like a real gun. If I have to, I’ll maim a criminal’s eyes with it. I also have a mag light and the world’s sharpest butcher knife. I’m thinking about buying a baseball bat.
Unconventional weapons to use as deterrence or for defense against intruders: Golf clubs, hockey sticks, rakes, hoes, Tilex (spray bleach - skin, eye irritant), Drano, Muriatic Acid (get at pool supply store), Wasp spray (eye irritant), 91% isopropyl alcohol, vinegar (spray), nail guns, chainsaws…
I got a bat at a thrift store! Also fun fact, wasp spray can be aimed up to 20-25 feet anf is much more effective than pepper spray, can be bought at any hardware store and doesn't require a permit to carry like pepper spray does in some states.
We just saw that video! Yes absolutely. And I keep a mitt and ball in the trunk too because it can be considered premeditated assault to have a random weapon in your car, as opposed to e.g. a tire iron which Makes Sense to be in your trunk. I just don't have a tire iron lol
Plans are a luxury that many of us can’t afford. I found a way to make my tiny pension and SS work for me, and now it looks like I may die homeless, without the meds and healthcare I need.
BINGO. I think people believe that everyone has access to the same resources that they do. Not everyone does. I've been on public assistance before. It doesn't provide enough to live, no matter what the economy is doing. In the end though, we're all in this together and must depend on one another.
Also understand, if you don't get with others now, when they pull the rug of the safety ned you do have, what will you do? that's what I mean by A PLAN.
That's assuming that there's something there for people. We can't delude ourselves into thinking that everyone will have someone or something in the community that can or will help them. That's just a reality of life. Not everyone is like us.
I am fully aware people just can't go away. But where ever you are, make plans with others. This is the point. If you don't have people to do mutual aid with when things get worse you will be in trouble. This does not mean you have to spend a lot of money. What you do need is community.
That'll work for those people who have access to resources and people in their community who will help them. It's unrealistic to believe that everyone has easy access to assistance. Having been on the other end of needing assistance I know it's often not easy and at times is impossible to get help.
I know there are millions of us. I try really hard not to worry. I do everything I can think of to influence my reps/senators in DC to save it and to fight however I can. I do my best to keep hope alive.
I'm not sure what to do, but maybe continue calling/emailing/snail Mailing your congress people and state reps too. Make friends with like minded people. I don't know. It is all terrifying
Kindness matters. You are correct, plans may not work. Don’t give up trying. Hope must be grounded in action, not just wishing things will improve.
Find a tribe, clan, small group and pool your knowledge and resources. They need to divide us. We need to connect and resist.
She might have won if she would’ve at least sat down with them. Instead she decided to not treat them like the constituents they are.
I voted for her but if I was Palestinian she could never get my vote-the way she gaslit those people while supplying weapons to a G-side!
I wish Gavin would’ve ran.
I have no plan there is nowhere for me to go after this. He takes my Social Security my Medicare. It won’t matter. I’ll be dead. My mother died at 63. I didn’t realize I was gonna die way before her.
Don’t say that! I know that I will die because I’m a type one diabetic I have high blood pressure. I have problems. That’s why I said I’ll die because without my insulin and now they raise the price of a back up again, there’s no way.😔
I am lucky in that my spouse is a dual citizen, Mexico and USA, so that helped my process of getting my residency via family unity. Plus can apply for my Mexican citizenship in two years.
Logistics were easy. Needed to show Financials for past year. Retirement is option only if 60 years or older
Wow, you must feel so relieved to be able to go live in Mexico. It will be good to feel secure again. They are lucky to have a wonderful President. I am over 60, yay!😃. Good luck to you and your family.
I've had a plan. Been planning for a long ass time. As a woman you need to own property, have your own business that caters to the wealthy, and keep your head low while telling the patriarchy to fuck right off.
Cash will be important,
small bills
Consider changing your federal withholding and stop funding this sham of a govt
Going to buy dry goods like rice, beans, papergoods in bulk
Dropped my 401k contributions until if ever we feel stable again
Grow some of your own food
Hi! I don't quite understand this suggestion - is it for ppl already drawing their SS? What does a print out do? I'm not of age, but I'd like to protect my dad as much as possible, ty!!
That account shows what you made every year you've ever worked and also shows how much youd get monthly depending on your age in retirement.If SS goes away and they delete everything, you have no record of any of it Its gone.They base monthly payments on what youve made and how long youve worked.
I think people who have limited resources should band together. People need to find others in their areas who feel the same and meet. Listen, guys, form new families and alliances. Let's lean on each other.
If you know someone or you have a membership to bulk store items, offer to split costs. You can each bring a budget and split the cost of emergency bulk items, making it more affordable.
I'm so afraid my Army veteran husband, who is a civilian munitions inspector on base, will be replaced by contractors. I can't fucking believe this shit. Thanks maga 🖕
ONLY call him what he really is.
DICTATOR TRUMP, and the TRUMP DICTATORSHIP.
BAN the title President Trump. He doesn’t deserve, nor legally entitled to the title.
We the People can STILL enforce the Constitution, even as Congress and the SCOTUS refused.
Be a Freedom Fighter.
In unified defiance.
As a Black woman, please don't use images of Black women to promote fighting back. We We understood the assignment and voted at 92%. We are done fighting and taking care of ourselves and our community and loved ones. Stop making us the martyr for movements. We keep warning y'all & we are done.
And your response is exactly a reason why most Black women have checked tf up and especially after voting at 92%. Y'all don't even like to listen and respect to our boundaries now lol.
Palm colored have finally colonized yourselves and still have the audacity to ask especially Black women to save y'all and rally to motivate y'all in a mess y'all really never wanted to fully deal with from your great-great-greatgrandparents.
🤣🤣🤣 not you busting out towards a Black woman with some narcissistic bullshit, instead of just listening to Black women especially when they say mind your business and we set up boundaries. Yall can't help yourselves 🤣🤣

If you haven't already, get a passport! Eventually, even that will be near impossible! Also, research an escape plan if needed. There are a few countries you can flee to that don't require much more than paperwork to reside there. Most importantly, stay vigilant and know who you can trust!
Trying to do this- my husband submitted a request for a new ss card because he list his- was supposed to get notified within 7 business days- it has been two weeks and crickets... hoping to get passports for the family but I feel like it may be too late-
Yes, this is important. Originally we planned on flying but now driving is the safest option. It will take longer but we will get to see a lot and we can bring a car. You do have to pay to import the car but at least you start with one!
I wish I could plan for an escape but many people are like me who care for elderly parents/relatives. I won’t leave mine behind. I’m just going to try to hold onto my ass here for as long as I can.
Also important... get copies of important documents such as birth certificates, social security cards, drivers licenses, etc. Anything that can be destroyed digitally, have a physical backup!!
Did that when the felon was in office 4 years ago. Ukraine is looking better and better, war or not. At least there, the citizens are fighting FOR democracy. Even at 73, I am considering the move.
I 64 and have to have my hip replaced in two months. I still work full time, but it's hard to walk. I wish I could move. But I'm not in any position to move. I feel like I'm in prison
I was told the same, BUT I continue to manage mine with Tylenol and a heating pad. I went through a horribly tough back surgery 8 years ago and just do not want to do any more big surgeries . Know folks who have had it done and are glad but I am just too old and cranky these days!
I've got to renew mine! Scared to do so now, but scared not to!
Wjere can we find countries that just ask for just paperwork in case one needs to flee?
I was going to renew mine last summer but then Kamala became the candidate and I got sidetracked by hope. Now I don’t dare because I won’t surrender mine and possibly never see it again.
Anytime! Information is a weapon!
FWIW, my wife and I are looking mostly at Belize. It's an English speaking country with a lot of expats and the weather is very nice year round.
I'm glad I kept my job part-time because if I lose social security, I can go back to full-time. That sure would suck but at least I could live (assuming my job doesn't go belly up too).
I have some cans stocked up but need to keep stocking. I'm also closing my bank accounts except for checking.
I’ve been wondering if savings accounts are safe, especially if they get rid of FDIC. But holding large quantities of $100 bills is also sketchy in its own way? Buy gold and bury it like Ron Swanson? Put everything into crypto, which might be our next official currency? 🙀
Buy rice and beans. Water. Have cash on hand. You will probably need a radio and battery powered light sources. Start thinking about loss of vehicle. Get a bicycle. Check on neighbors. Pretty much like preparing for a natural disaster.
With tariffs car parts will be difficult to obtain, and certainly new cars will not be affordable or even available at a reasonable price.
Gas prices are going to rise as they force a petrol crisis
Same types of things you stock up on for an earthquake for example. Food, water, cash on hand, things for power outages. Important papers for if you have to leave in a hurry…

the Constitution. They said it would

I wish we could. We have both been out of work since Sept.
We are behind on all bills and out of money. We have a special needs Autistic who is going to drain what money we have.
We have nothing and no way to prepare for anything. It's exhausting.
I’m in a similar boat. We cross each crisis as we come to it. Don’t be shy about asking for help, even from strangers, there’s no shame in it. Much love ✌🏻🫶🏻
At this point, I just need to get back to work and get caught up.
Unfortunately, remote jobs are disappearing these days. I'm hopeful things will change.
Defense, security, lower your debt, garden, collaboration. 3 acres intensely gardener can feed 2000 people. If 1/3 of US 🏠 owned 5 chickens we'd all have eggs.
I think ad long as we take precautions such as not visiting other farms, buying chick's from reputable sources we should be OK. My late hubby worked on a commercial 🐔 farm, we weren't allowed to own birds. Vehicles sprayed coming in.
