there’s a lot pointing toward it: the immigration enforcement raids and the border detainments which are all scary and inhumane. the further attacks on education and attempts to rewrite history (which was happening at state-level like Florida but are harder to fight at the federal level). the president is seriously talking about a 2028 term which is technically unconstitutional in the US (presidents can only serve for 2 terms). they have arrested a mayor and a judge for different reasons related to the immigration legal fights which is unheard of. the treatment of Gaza is even worse than under Biden (which was already evil). they’re straight up ignoring judges on certain decisions. DOGE funding cuts are destroying the public sector and they’ve repeatedly fired completely essential workers and had to re-hire them bc it “broke“ systems. ending funding for things like cancer research and HIV medication, attacking vaccines, banning so-called “DEI” and trans girls from sports, and so much more.
honestly in my opinion the US has been hardly a democracy forever, for marginalized folks, but this is like steps above that in that they’re reversing so much progress so quickly. we’re not even 6 months into Trump’s second term.
also i work in the ngo/nonprofit sector and something else scary is how much human rights workers are very concerned about the possibility of our organizations even being able to exist within the next few years (if not sooner) due to the administration which i also feel says so much. and this applies across issue areas from immigration legal support to climate action and many other types of orgs
from a historical standpoint we are actually an outlier in not having a new form of government since the country was founded - other countries have had changes but our system has been the same for 100s of years so we’re “overdue” in a sense.
one silver lining is how incompetent these leaders sometimes are but i still think it is going to take a very long time to reverse the damage being done. however i’ve been keeping up some hope! just yesterday i saw this video of a neighborhood successfully kicking ICE out simply through booing them and keeping a united front. so there are more things like that happening and i hope we continue to see it!

I'm so incredibly scared for the fascism rising in the US (and other parts of the world). The tiktok ban was a first step to censorship, censoring information that everyday Americans rely on for various things (like 🍉🍉🍉, the L.A Wildfires, even the holocaust) and banning basically the only third spaces that exist in the US. Trump bringing it back is NOT GOOD. He is manipulating all of you, especially younger folk that's using social media, spreading propaganda, to make him seem like a good guy. HE IS NOT A GOOD GUY, HE IS A FASCIST. ALONG WITH HIS FRIENDS, LIKE MUSK ‼️‼️
Please please please realise: they are trying to separate us. It's US vs. THEM ‼️‼️‼️ not RIGHT vs. LEFT ‼️‼️‼️
Help people in need, inform yourself and fact check everything.
remind yourself: THE POLICE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS ‼️‼️‼️
I found this image on instagram btw. Please don't endanger yourself or others.
DON'T LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF.

Beirut, Lebanon is the newest victim of Israel airstrikes and obviously this is a fucking atrocity but I need to take a minute to reflect on the hypocrisy and inability to reflect by American conservative Christians in response to this moment, one of whom is my own mother and many being members of the megachurch in which I grew up.
Must have been the summer of 22 that a group from my parent’s church was called to serve doing missionary work in Lebanon, which, you know, is admirable from the eyes of the missionary and the faithful old chaps who fund them, until you’re manipulating impoverished Lebanese people into abandoning their faith for a free sewing lesson or dentist appointment while you use donation money to go on a tour of important Biblical sites for half the trip. Despite all this ooing and aaing about the spiritual importance of Lebanese cedars and the sites where Jesus held sermons, I bring up the recent bombing and it’s just “so sad” but there will be no reflection on how they, as conservative American Trump voters, are supporting this destruction and genocide in the name of profits!! I genuinely don’t know how to reconcile the fact that my parents have spent time volunteering to feed and clothe migrant farm workers but do not give a single fuck about the ICE raids. MAGA brainrot at it’s finest.
The unfortunate truth is that the Christian text encourages a kind of false consciousness that puts power into the hands of manipulative, pseudo-christian leaders. I can’t tell you how many times growing up I heard how God appoints those in power for a reason, and that those with wealth and positions of leadership are there to carry out God’s plan. The bible is a violent and retributive book. It applies virtue to quiet suffering. I love my parents still but this is so ingrained in them, and millions of other conservative christians, and i genuinely do not know how you argue with people who gladly believe in a literal rapture and a literal hell that their children will suffer for eternity
