Support who supports you ✨✊

While we are making lists, let's make lists of companies and brands who are holding fast to their DEI commitments.
E.L.F. is one of them

Pick your focus and stick with it. We cannot fight in all fronts or we will become overwhelmed. But we can all peel off a corner in our area of expertise and begin to reveal effective strategies for resisting the chaos. Every single one of us has something to offer.

The goal is to physically, mentally and morally exhaust you, so they can #startthesteal while everyone cowers or checks out. Don’t let them have their way.

Share what you see and hear with others you trust. "Gossip" is how we are going to keep our head on straight in times that are meant to confuse us and that's why they act like gossip is awful/bad/dumb/crazy. It's not. It's explaining what we experience to others so they can say "me too" or share too

To "not see" and "n*zi" sound similar for a reason. They are trying to act like what we are seeing isn't real. What you see and what you hear is very real. They are playing mind games and will probably lay into "female hysteria" tropes to invalidate us. We need community more than ever! 1.

Just discovered midas touch this week. So far I like them!

Thank you!! You are too! We will get through this together!

I'm so glad I could help! And thank you for sharing my words to others! We have to do this together to get through. We got this!

I would also suggest getting into your body as much as possible so you can listen to your gut. Walk in nature, exercise in ways that feel good, meditate, take time off screens, and somatic exercise/therapy can help with this. If we are connected to self we're less likely to be manipulated

I find that the more sources agree and the more first hand videos/lives that I can see the better. Your eyes are not deceiving you and your ears aren't either. It's your mind that can be messed with. Stay educated too. Read many books on historical topics, propaganda, and fascism especially.

I try to vary my sources. AP is mostly unbiased. Reuters seems to be telling it straight behind a small pay wall. Overseas content like BBC and The Guardian aren't terrible yet. I also stay tuned through listening to various people opinions on social media that have a take that makes sense to me.

I've decided to avoid most major US news outlets because they are being paid for by these billionaires. Keeping sources that are unbiased and/or independent news outlets. We saw what happened. We know what happened. Time to start trusting our own lived experience over what a journalist may say

People who are silent about their politics are silent because their political views harm others.

They harm others but they still want access to our spaces.

They still want access to you despite voting to directly harm you.

Make no mistake, your silence on political issues is LOUD & CLEAR.

The Digital Transition: How the Presidential Transition Works in the Social Media Age Take a look at how we plan to preserve and pass on the digital history of the Obama administration.

The POTUS, FLOTUS, VP, and White House social media accounts have switched over to the new administration.

(The opposite happened in 2020.)

If you were following the pages before, you should be following the archived accounts as well.

This is just a reminder that even though the idea of "resistance" can feel like you have to do something big like protesting or boycotting (while important & useful), if you aren't able to do that right now the smallest thing you can do is not let yourself spiral into feeling hopeless and helpless

I will not be letting this administration stress me out. Will simply just do the work I need to do and help those that I can.

Elon Musk is a Nazi. He supports extremist groups in Europe with Nazi ideology. He’s from an apartheid state.

The Washington Post can try and cover for him. The New York Times can try and cover for him. The ADL can try and cover for him but Elon Musk is a Nazi. And those who cover are sympathizers.

French movement asks X users to leave platform on US inauguration day The French Human Rights League (LDH) is asking the public to join them in a mass exodus of X, formerly Twitter, on January 20.

Maybe we use the long MLK holiday weekend to break free from the BS, come together as a community, and ditch platforms that amplify hate. French groups are urging a mass exodus from X on Jan 20—why not start now? Let’s build digital spaces rooted in respect and reason.

Welcome to the United States of North Korea.

A state-controlled media is NOT Freedom of Speech nor is it Freedom of Press…

This is the systemic dismantling of our First Amendment right.

When The People inevitably get violent over this, The Second Amendment will be next…

Please yes

Oh so we are all crashing out over tik tok? #tiktokban #tiktokrefugee
