The beginning of Project 2025 and how i am handling it
It has been awhile since i have had a new blog or written in my other blogs but i feel this moment must be met with creativity, community, outreach and common goals. My goal and the goal of most people in our country is to be rid of the the fascist takeover of our formerly democratic land. I have always found comfort in writing. It helps me to move things from my troubled mind to the forefront where I can really think them through. I cried the morning after the election when I saw he won. I knew it was going to be bad and I had really come to love Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. They were good people, compassionate, caring, intelligent and knowledgeable. We NEEDED THEM. But the MAGA folks had drunk the koolaid of the orange man and voted for him again.
Think about this. In the 90s a president got a blowjob in the Oval Office and everyone lost their minds! This guy??? 34 time convicted felon. Was found guilty of sexual assault. Racist to the core from way back when he wanted to execute five black men who were found innocent of their crimes and refused to rent to people of color. A firehose of constant whining hate who NEVER SHUTS UP. It is a neverending stream of shit and lies and chaos.
And the chaos is the POINT. We are supposed to be overwhelmed and can't find ways to resist. We are supposed to just lie down exhausted for them to step all over us. Well. I have shed my tears about the election and now it is changed into a dynamic feeling of rebellion. It is time to get out of bed, stop being sad and start feeling mad...as I am right now. I am furious about the things just in the first two weeks.
1. ICE arresting people who did no wrong who were only speaking spanish
2. Wanting to send migrants to Guatanamo Bay
3. Stopping all diversity programs, special holidays and months celebrating other besides white men. No more women's history month, black history month, Pride month, MLK day ( MLK DAY!!!). The past to be erased from schools. Books banned. Trans folk vilified.
4. Our former allies hate us. Canada (the nicest people in the world) booed our national anthem at a hockey game. I do not blame them. I know it will raise prices but i am with Canada and Mexico, Panama and Ukraine and all who are being hurt by him. I am not an American. I do not know what I am anymore but this is not my country.
What I have done so far. Well i started gathering things a few months ago that if HE won the tariffs, trade wars, financial meltdown would make it hard to get. I ordered a bunch of batteries as batteries and cheap electronics often come from China. I started gathering foods I was told would be more expensive and hard to get. Gathered my papers together in a lockbox. Started putting aside cash. I feel I am now looking for ways to get involved. To expand. I have a disability that sometimes makes it hard for me to go out and be around people but this is too important and I must push through that.
I will try to write at least once a week.
For now, RESIST and love those who are hated and left behind
thank you for reading and supporting me i love you too
