Make it stop.

Justice RBG's death has just been announced, what happens now? I'm terrified of what's going to happen if the GOP manage to replace her; I don't know if they even CAN, if there's enough time, or if that could somehow be prevented until after the inauguration. I don't know what's going to happen next but I'm afraid of what this will mean.

Not to be an anarchist on main but the answer is always:

Connect with your local communities to share resources and make sure everyone is safe.

learn new skills whenever you can, especially survival, communication, and first aid skills. Look for CERT trainings as a good source of free classes and hands-on education.

join and support unions whenever possible.

look to the activists of the past for guidance: if the ACA is overturned start staging die-ins (and if you’re a medical professional then now is the time to work with your colleagues to figure out how you’re going to provide care to people who are going to lose their medical coverage)

work local; the supreme court isn’t something that you can control, but maybe you can have an impact on your city’s zoning policies or on whether or not unused land becomes a community food garden.

do jail support, film cops, and listen to cop communications so that you can report on their movements to the people they threaten.

feed the hungry.

hack the planet.

If not you then who? If you see a need, fill it.

Take care of yourself and take care of each other.

Shit is fucked up, the government is fucked up, the world is fucked up. It probably won’t always be that way, but right now all that you can do is make the part of the world that you’re in contact with a little better, so do that.

If you’re feeling helpless and scared one of the single best things that you can do is take action and remind yourself that you make an impact on the world. Offer someone a ride, pick up groceries for your elderly neighbor.

You wanna do something that’s legal, easy, and unambiguously good? Download whatever driving/traffic app is popular in your area and warn people when you see cops.

Warning people about speed traps and hidden cops prevents deportations, prevents theft-by-cops under the name of civil forfeiture, prevents poor people from losing their job or facing eviction or jailtime as a result of suspended licenses and lost wages.

Protect your community! Warn them about cops!

Also now is an incredibly good time to brush up on self managed abortion and to educate yourself about safe abortions in case you or someone you love is in a state where their reproductive rights are threatened.

2 Black men have been found hanging from trees in California near public buildings in the last 2 weeks less than 60 miles apart. In both cases cops claimed no foul play suspected. They are lynching us and hoping you don’t care to notice.

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn’t see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like “uh…hi?” And she said “I made you, do you know that?” And I nodded and she was like “I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don’t break my heart”. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????
