It’s a global digital coup. And people are still catching up.

So here goes. With Felon 47’s Liberation Day, Trump has started world war 3.

If Trump doesn’t have to obey the courts, then Greg Abbott doesn’t have to obey the courts, then Rick DeSantis doesn’t have to obey the courts.

There’s this aspect of this moment where I almost want to share that meme of the guy being hanged sayin “first time, eh”. So many people who have never faced the US government being opposed to their existence are finally understanding what it feels like.

Activism is not the same thing as community. And if your community is built around activism rather than your activism being built around your community, you need to shift your priorities.

Something I forget is that the current fascists actually believe their bullshit. They actually believe that DEI programs are why minorities have made so much progress in this country.

I’ve been thinking a lot about fascism and our global world. One thing I keep coming back to is that shit like this doesn’t happen if our world is swinging towards fascism. There’s still an international swing towards freedom and virtue and fairness and the recognition of harm.

People I support because I am led by compassion first: Vets. I was a military brat. I will always support vets. Disabled people. A police officer paralyzed in the line of duty is still disabled. I support disabled people. My people. Trans people.
