Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[rederiswrites]

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

[lizardlicks]

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Is Somebody Doing Something?!

Yes. Let me break it down for you.

[rederiswrites]

Reblogging because this is an excellent article that both tells you about some of what's being done and breaks it down in a way that will help you understand and think about future action. Please read!

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

[tattooedzombigirl]

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

[secondlina]

Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.

[belladonna-rx]

Potatoes are magical. Just look at all the different kinds of deliciousness that can be made from these unassuming lumps.

my record player is cheap as shit and the needle keeps skipping so i put a tiny pig on it as an arm weight

it’s lighter than a coin and working perfectly so i’m just gonna. not bother the pig

[thirteensfavoritetoy]

Glad to know that record player technology has seemingly made zero advancements since I was taping pennies to mine back in the 70s

[necrosystem]

The technology has advanced a lot, there's a pig now.

[onedayless3]

pretty sure this pig is from the treasured game "pass the pigs" and it's actually from the 50's even i think 😆

This actually was a thing that was codified into law, in 1972, by a Democratic-controlled congress, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The Democrats recognized that the original Executive Order could easily be repealed by a subsequent president's EO, so they spent the next decade pushing iterations of this act in order to make it federal law, which no president can override with an Executive Order-- by definition, an Executive Order applies only to the Executive Branch of the government, and has zero authority over the Legislative or Judicial branch

The anti-discrimination laws that Democrats created, passed, and codified into law are still in place! Trump's executive order is not able to repeal it, which is specifically why the Democrats got to work, after President Johnson's executive order, getting it passed as an actual law.

Trump's executive order is a piece of political theatre. It has no actual impact on the law, it's intended to signal that anyone who wants to break that law has the support of the Executive branch of the US Government.

But again, no big surprise that "Trump and his party try to do something evil, but are stopped because the Democrats did something right" is being spun as a failure on the part of Democrats by the smug white guy on the nazi-owned, nazi-operated social media platform for nazis, where he has a hammer-and-sickle in his display name! Good thing he proudly admits to being ignorant, because he clearly hasn't even reached "schoolhouse rock" levels of proficiency in History and Civics

Fuck Trump

Not enough people are worrying about this. 'This' being several issues getting worse with the election of Trump. I don't like posting about this stuff because it gets me angry and in a worse mental state, but I hate staying quiet about it.

Trump's censoring us. If you couldn't tell by all the people and tags being banned on TikTok, open your eyes a little. If you defend him, shame on you for being ignorant.

I was going to talk about just the topic of trans men being ignored and excluded, but I changed my mind last minute. Sorry if some things don't make sense, I didn't retype everything when I changed my mind.

Text in image: Ten Stages of Genocide. 1 Classification: People are divided into "us and them". 2 Symbolization: People are forced to identify themselves. 3 Discrimination: People begin to face systematic discrimination. 4 Dehumanization: People equated with animals, vermin, or disease. 5 Organization: The government creates specific groups (police/military) to enforce the policies. 6 Polarization: The government broadcasts propaganda to turn the populace against the group. 7 Preparation: Official action to remove/relocate people. 8 Persecution: Beginning of murders, theft of property, trial massacres. 9 Extermination: Wholesale elimination of the group. It is "extermination" and not murder because the people are not considered human. 10 Denial: The government denies that it has committed any crime.

I recommend that everyone keep these in mind and if/when you engage with content involving recent news, INCLUDE as many people as you can when you speak. Don't just generalize people into a majority group (ex: when speaking on how the removal of information on abortions and birth control, don't just mention it affecting women.)

TLDR: Don't ignore problems just because they 'aren't that bad yet' or 'don't affect you'. Be fucking considerate of others and their well-being, but don't stress yourself out. Do what you can, when you can.

PS Please check out other content creators who go more in-depth on different topics and who likely explain things better than I ever could! It's never a bad thing to be educated. And remember, anyone can fall victim to propaganda.
