Hey.

If you’re trans, an immigrant, or anywhere on Trump’s list of targets, I need you you to know something.

You’re amazing. Your life contributes endless value merely by your existence. I wish I could meet you and hug you (with your consent) and tell you that you are loved, but I’ll have to do it here instead.

You are loved. You are beautiful. You are valued. No matter what they do, they cannot take that from you, because I will always feel that way about you and they cannot take it from me.

Please know, there will always be people on your side. Even if you can’t always see us, we are there.

Survive. Love yourself. Celebrate the small things.

And remember—fascism isn’t stable. MAGA worldviews are corrosive and selfish, more than comfortable stabbing each other in the back when things aren’t going their way.

They wouldn’t need to control us if they thought things would go their way naturally.

All empires fall. And from the ruins we will build something better.

You just gotta make it there.

[PS reblog if you agree and think marginalized people should know they are loved and valued]

Sit down, minority! This person who knows nothing about your community and is fueled with misinformation is gonna explain to you how your body works!

Look at these two incredible calls for submissions that are actually committed to publishing marginalized voices!

"The Joy They Cannot Erase" centers trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and intersex experiences through art and literature, exploring struggle, resilience, and defiant joy.

"Voices for the Voiceless" focuses on how minority lives and stories transform amid political shifts.

What makes these special? We GUARANTEE publication of at least one piece from every minority voice who submits. The deadline (Dec 12, 2025) might be extended but never shortened.

If you're a creator from a marginalized community or an ally, check out the QR codes to submit your work! Let's create art that refuses to be silenced. ✊

Are you aware of "travellers" (an ethnic minority in Ireland) and the discrimination they face?

I'm aware of travellers, and the discrimination against them

I'm aware of travellers, but not any discrimination against them

I have not heard of travellers

Voting ended onJun 21, 2024

Travellers are an ethnic minority in Ireland. They've been compared to the Roma, but they're entirely separate groups. Many travellers live in vans and are constantly mobile, while others are "settled" travellers and live in one place.

Growing up, anon had heard of travellers in only negative ways. There'd be certain areas that were considered "bad" because there'd be majority travellers living there, or people would avoid shops because travellers were known to work/hang out around there.

It seemed strange to anon that some people, even those within Ireland, hadn't heard of the group, and they want to know if the wider world had any knowledge of them.

Never kill yourself. Thats what they want.

You will always be a bigger nuisance alive because you still have control of your own narrative. You can make your story better… with black jack… and hookers

Sweden saying they'll vote against allowing the use of Catalan, Basque and Galician in the European Union Parliament because "there's lots of minority languages and we can't allow them all" is so funny because CATALAN HAS MORE SPEAKERS THAN SWEDISH

Catalan is the 13th most spoken language in the EU. It has more than 10 million speakers, which means it has more speakers than other languages that are already official EU languages like Maltese (530,000), Estonian (1.2 million), Latvian (1.5 million), Irish (1.6 million), Slovene (2.5 million), Lithuanian (3 million), Slovak (5 million), Finnish (5.8 million), Danish (6 million), Swedish (10 million), and Bulgarian (10 million).

Neither Galician (3 million) nor Basque (750,000) would still be the least spoken languages to be allowed in the EU representative bodies.

But even if any of them did, so what? Why do speakers of smaller languages deserve less rights than those of bigger languages? How are we supposed to feel represented by the EU Parliament when our representatives aren't even allowed to speak our language, but the dominant groups can speak theirs?

It all comes down to the hatred of language/cultural diversity and the belief that it's an inconvenience, that only the languages of independent countries have any kind of value while the rest should be killed off. After all, isn't that what Sweden has been trying to do to the indigenous Sami people for centuries?
