Trump should be "I don't know"

I'm wondering what her specialty is, it wouldn't surprise me if it's something the administration wants to ban. Of course, that's pure supposition since it's not listed in the article, but an effective way to ban women's health and affirming care would be to remove those that provide that care.

Myself. No one is looking out for me.

It's somehow even worse if you're trans and American. Honestly I almost wish blatant oppression would begin so I could seek asylum somewhere.

I'd like to leave the United States first. Someplace diverse where I can walk or use public transit, and that has clean water and air. If there's wilderness, hiking trails, or any other kind of nature relatively close that would be pretty swell.

Dammit, Spider-Man, you got me. Guess I'll just wait it out.

Enjoy it. As long as you aren't busting out laughing at a funeral this sounds like a gift.

Folks like you are why I love lemmy. Thanks!

Trans porn is fine, it's just trans people that they have a problem with.

I'm not being dismissive of their view, I understand the need for self-preservation. I think the crux of it is how do I get folks who agree things are going wrong to move from that space into one of more action? Almost everyone I'm talking to at work agrees with me, but no one is interested in organizing or preparing, and that's what baffles me most.

I don't know myself - I don't have some grand plan or idea. Im a regular person (albeit one with a better historical understanding of history due to education). I'm just scared about what's coming next, and I'm completely isolated at the end of the day. Rather than buy a bunch of guns and ammo, I would prefer to connect with folks to build mutual support, or to prepare to strike/protest/boycott (or whatever seems most effective at the time).

I'm not lecturing, I'm asking for help on how to approach this. This is closer to frustrated bitching than lecturing.

 

I'm dumbstruck as to what to do. The US is building literal concentration camps, and none of my co-workers care at all.

In fairness, I work in healthcare with an almost exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

Many of them espouse to be Christians, and no one cares at all that the American government is following the exact playbook from Nazi Germany.

What do you do? How do you make people care before it's too late?
