What can we do? Those of us who have been going to every protest, who are fighting locally against what is going on? Where do we go? We need an organizer, but no one has stepped up to reign everyone in. I would do it but i've got extreme paranoia and am possibly a schizoid. (Im also a minority who would get deported on top of that)
Dual power and mutual aid. Construct alternative social support systems that don't rely on the current gatekeepers because you KNOW the powers that be who control those gates will slam them shut on us all.
Focusing on ones mental health is a good place to start but imma be real I checked out immediately after the "you're no good to us if you're not healthy."
That is a fucking wild thing to say to someone .
I did shit and copped a life ruining restraining order.
Now what?
I sat at home, my life is still pretty fucked
My life was going to be fucked regardless because I was stupid enough to be born trans in a “we love het men raping children” state.
Feeling pretty helpless tbh. Protesting just seems like it’s going to fuck me more.
Sadly I'd have to ask you to be more specific on which state.
Can you help me understand what more I can do? I'm in California in a pretty conservative county.
At this point? Anything that disrupts the current regime, but my lawyer would not like me to go further.
In all honesty you are now in a situation of a resistance, the current situation will not be undone with anything peaceful. The time is past fixing this within the system.
