"We're all having a rough day, and I don't really feel like posting"

the main thing im thinking about is how the #mastodonforharris crowd spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to support a campaign that was doomed from the start instead of helping their own community and made themselves look like complete dickheads

when picking a slogan, try to make it something that 50% of people already believe in, 40% of people don't care about, and 10% absolutely detest / can't stand / it makes them mad / they disagree with its very definition

anyway, normalise sharing scrappy fiddles

i don't want this to seem as a "i have it worse than you" post. i wouldn't even go to america if it meant leaving this place once and for all. but all i wanna say, people have survived this. i am surviving this. we can get through this. but we won't if we lose will to fight.

so give yourself some grace, go sleep, relax, just to shake off the panic. it's never good. and then come together with friends and fam, and organize. don't give yourself up without a fight.

this looks grim, i know. this is definitely not good.

what i want to tell you all though, is that i live in an autocracy where queer rights are nonexistent.

living here is painful. but we still have queer spaces. we still have people who try to help and fight back even when the odds are stacked. don't lose hope just yet. you guys aren't as far gone as us, you have changing parties and strong grassroots movements, you can still turn this around.

Comment on the constant omleidingen in the city center?

If you don't already have these things, here's something to work on that gives you strength and options for the potential worst day of your future life.

These resources are invaluable and impossible to acquire in haste. Get them while you can:

* Lawyer
* Passport
* Locksmith
* Gun

Additionally, form a trusted circle of friends, share copies of important documents to assist you if one of you becomes incarcerated.

If you use Apple devices:

• Today is a good day to turn on Advanced Data Protection: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108756

• The next time you meet each person you iMessage with is a good time to turn on Contact Key Verification: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-contact-key-verification-iph654dd8c53/ios

Does anyone know of trainings being offered on relational organizing and/or deep canvassing? Local to the DC/DMV area would be great but online is good too

Please try to turn your anger and spite into support for the most vulnerable around you, instead of turning it into angry posts.

Nothing infuriates me more than "uwu it doesn't matter who voted for who, we are all a community no drama pls" bullshit

Fuck you. If someone voted for a person who is going to put the life of my friends at risk with hate? They're getting purged from my life. I don't want to associate with them. No amount of 'getting along' will ever forgive enabling fascism.

So. It's probably time to bring this up again: Cloudflare is a US-based company with close ties to the US government (law enforcement and intelligence in particular) that currently controls a double-digit percentage of web traffic, and basically strips away the encryption from the connection - in other words, they can see *everything* that is sent through sites that use Cloudflare.

The CEO is also a 4chan-y techbro which has in the past shown support for fascist and harassment websites (not just KF either, also nazi websites).

If there was ever a moment to rip Cloudflare out of the infrastructure for your site or service, that moment is *right now*.
