Please have a heart for all US LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disabled people, outsiders, artists, activists, writers and authors, and more, who have been trying to fix this shit (or simply survive), can't fix it now, and are trying to figure out how to survive whatever comes next.
@violetblue That is exactly where I'm at. I've got nothing left to give.
@corbden @violetblue Using AI the media heck even NLp this is how they want you to feel all because you stayed true to your moral compass. I am a fighter myself if I could transmute my fighter spirit to you I would, at this point you need to retreat for self care. The emotional toil through this **** is depleting not denying that but you as a soul will always have something to give people always give up while on the cusp of winning, see it through!!!
@AAA365a I got nowhere to retreat to for self care. I just fought a hard battle for over a month with the last of my strength to get my mom to stop hurting me long enough for self care, that was literally Monday. Not even one day of a break
@corbden so Sorry to hear that, hope it all gets sorted
@violetblue I don’t wanna die because I’m not their mold
@anubis2814 Yes and we need to start planning now how to help one another regardless of how PA pans out.
@violetblue maybe we need to work outside of the politics we are allowed access to.
@violetblue And women especially those of child bearing years. There will be a lot who die in agony because doctors are too scared to treat them.
@violetblue "how to survive whatever comes next" sounds like a call to update Digital Revolutionary and Guide to Privacy to me!
@violetblue Soldidarity for these people.
@violetblue you are welcome on thus side. Please do come
@violetblue We will have to leave. The old assumption of a 4 year term of office is OVER. He will see to that.
@MindlessFollower @violetblue a lot of people in Europe see the similiarities between the US and the early years of Nazi power in Germany ,TBH I think people in vulnerable groups on Trumps hit list should get out asap and not leave it too late like many did then :(
@violetblue I'm so sorry for all of you.
@violetblue the problem was that you thought this was fixable. It's not because this is how it was intended to work. It needs to be broken down and built up again, by the people, for the people. Can't fix stupid. Can't fix liberal. Revolution now.
@violetblue I expect to be gassed in a concentration camp
@violetblue I’m going to be waiting for the news when they rug pull the ACA from 30 million of us. I’ll be beyond screwed if I lose what little healthcare I have.
@violetblue @scottytrees Same. It's the only way I managed to get my anemia diagnosed and I've been learning how to better care for myself. I wanted to show my doctor how well I'm doing in April, but will I even have insurance then?
Okay, I'm giving myself a stress headache. Time to feed my pets, have some breakfast, and journal out these frustrations and shed a few tears before work.
@violetblue Trump’s plans to axe Medicare and Social Security are going to get disabled people all over the US killed, including me. My parents kicked me out when I was 14, the only reason I’m not homeless is because I get housing through my Medicaid waiver. I’m also Jewish, and that 100% means I will be a target of the pending Christo-Fascist hellscape. My Grandfather barely survived Buchenwald and I don’t think I’ll be staying in the US long enough to find out how I’d fare under a Nazi regime.
@violetblue
I expect to be hunted for sport by Elon or Bobby or any number of members of the Gang Of Pedophiles for being on disability/having a Ukrainian girlfriend/being an atheist/liberal/subscriber to New Scientist, etc. before I get to the point where my disability won't cover my meds.
@violetblue I hope you continue to feel the support of community around you, this sucks for marginalized folks more than many like me can know.
@violetblue
Don't forget educators!
@violetblue @JenniferSlack I'll burn with my books... preferably with a cup of Irish coffee while reading a BANNED book in my office.
I feel the urge to pick up "Fahrenheit 451" again (if I didn't have 1000 other books I need to get cracking on... fast).
@violetblue I am absolutely numb. I did everything I could to prevent this fascist takeover and I've got nothing but numbness today.
This is good, tho: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/06/trump-wins-election-consequences-despair-america
@violetblue I think (as an outsider from the UK) that while people are angry with the "US " they are also concerned for all those in the US now at risk ,very concerned and feel desperately sad for them ,Europeans know how the Nazis started out in Germany and the US is at stage one now
