        Ikr?! How do you even begin to make sense of that?! You can’t! And now, here the rest of us are being forced to deal with it. Makes me wanna scream.

          Please do: loudly and at the local US consulate of possible. If not, if there is a town hall, they need to hear your complaint.

            I get the very strong sense it’s too late, that we’ve crossed some line or passed some tipping point… really hope I’m wrong.

              crossed a ripping point yes. so tactics change. it’s not too late as long as people are still alive. Like painting or sewing – we build on and salvage from mistakes. (see: transitional ethics, from social sciences)

              if you feel despair, seek community and feed your soul. Please do not comply in advance, internet friend!

              we survived the AIDs crisis by working and organizing by day, potlucking together, and partying and dancing to feed our spirits by night. (figurative, for our night owls and 3rd shifters.)

                Thanks. I’m not worried for myself in the common sense, and don’t plan on complying… I’m more worried for others and how they’ll cope with what I suspect is coming.

                  fortunately there is plenty of work to harness worry to usefulness. whatever your skills, I’m sure local chapters of progressive and human rights groups could appreciate the support. even just using whatever privledge you have to shut down racist or sexist jokes and denormalizing exclusive-supremacist comments and behavior helps hold the line.

                  uh someone link those fight the altright videos ig. the lecture has already been done with cool production.

                    Very true… putting worry to work is both constructive and cuts down on the worry. I think I’m just outta steam today.
