tomorrow is going to be rough. the future is going to be rough. we can’t pretend otherwise. but they want us fleeing, they want us demoralized and terrified, and morale is a terrain of struggle.

in medieval war, most people died during a rout… while fleeing uncontrollably. when organization falls apart and “save yourself” takes over. the goal of combat was to force the enemy to rout.
IF we are forced to retreat, let it be a fighting retreat, a strategic retreat.
they are attacking us, a tiny minority, because we threaten every shitty bigoted part of the status quo they are desperate to defend. if we were powerless, they would ignore us.
Also, maybe we shouldn't be acting totally defeated? Nixon was reelected too. And this was AFTER Stonewall, Weather Underground, the Hard Hat Riot, AND the Kent State massacre. We've burned shit to the ground before.😈
Haha! yelled the bigot. We won! There are no more queer people in the world! God has finally been pleased! And then quietly, maddeningly… they heard the first cry of a baby boy born just that minute. And it’s hard to tell if it was God laughing… or if the cry sounded a little bit fem.
Worth mentioning that this glorious mess of a country only exists because George Washington was extremely good at strategic retreat. He lost battle after battle, but he didn’t stop fighting until he had won the war.
Solidarity. We don't run. We think, we work. We stand our ground wherever we can. And we take care of each other every day.
It's going to be dark. So let's get the boxes of candles and start passing them out.
Hang in there.
Margaret, love your podcast work btw, how do we message that a protest that consists of a sad parade that ends in a speech isn't enough? That us marching around is perfectly acceptable by the state? Someone mentioned anarchist calisthenics but didn't give any examples.
I refuse to be intimidated by a cadre of incompetent sycophants. If anybody feels otherwise, keep hope in your heart. Without hope is the only way they'll ever truly win. Tomorrow heralds a regime of hate and bigotry but it also ushers in a sense of solidarity among US.
What everyone should remember is, don't expend all your energy countering the negative. Do more putting out the positive. Instead of just looking to tell off every transphobe devote more time to leaving trans people compliments unprompted.
Kindness adds up collectively to be a revolutionary force.
All I am seeing is the left creating all the fear mongering for others. If Trump really was the next Hitler, he would not be having an inauguration today. The pendulum is always swinging and it will eventually get back to center.

MAGA are satan worshipers. God is using them to force everyone to choose where they stand.
Both God & MAGA know anyone that bows to Trump gets the axe in their rapture soon.
Everyone that remains will celebrate. Jesus & Elijah returned as women & marry each other.
Give em hell
Jesus & Elijah returned as women & marry each other soon.
Jesus is female in gender.
Elijah is male in gender.
World peace is coming; those that remain will live FOREVER. Pets & loved ones return. Heaven on earth.
