So with all that in mind--with my history of <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leftist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftist</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activism</span></a> and the resulting <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trauma</span></a> from it, as well as the general state of <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/precarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>precarity</span></a> of life in the US and the sense that protests aren't really effective--I'm asking myself what I need to effectively resist <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> & <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a>'s <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coup</span></a> and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascist</span></a> oppression. What do I need to be effective and do the work required sustainably? Just because I know what I might need doesn't mean I'll get it, but understanding my own needs feels like a start. </p><p>What I needed while doing <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leftist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftist</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activism</span></a> during the first Trump term was care. I needed someone to buy groceries and cook and clean and do what <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Marxists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marxists</span></a> call reproductive labor for me. I needed someone to take care of my basic needs.</p><p>If you know someone who is doing <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activism</span></a> right now, ask them what they need, and one thing you might offer is to cook a meal for them or do chores for them. It might help</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MovementBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovementBuilding</span></a></p>
Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>(9/?) Now that I'm aware of this fight-flight/black-white mindset, some of the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leftist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftist</span></a> infighting I've experienced makes sense. If we're all scared and on edge, we're going to see threats even in places where they aren't, and it's going to be harder to connect with each other with compassion and empathy. Yes, some of this infighting can probably be attributed to psy ops, but let's not do the right's work for it. For this go-around with <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>, we need to figure out how to create communities and organizational cultures that foster a sense of safety and trust between each other, where we can let down the constant scanning for threats. I don't know how we do this, exactly, but I think it's something we need to be consciously aware of, and there's a lot of deep psychological and emotional work that needs to be done to foster this real sense of community</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MovementBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovementBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Activism</span></a></p>
Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>(8/?) First, I think we have to understand why things went so wrong for so many <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leftist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftist</span></a> groups in the past and why so many movements that opposed the first <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> administration weren't sustainable.</p><p>I think that's a combination of the toxic culture and of the mindset of many of these groups.</p><p>And there's something about that toxic culture. I didn't notice it at the time, but after a 4-year break from Trump, I can see it now more clearly. It's fear. It's fight-or-flight. It's my brain switching into a kind of black-and-white survival mode where I am now assessing everyone, everywhere as potential enemies or friends. I have been very quick to judge people since the inauguration, and I feel like I'm constantly scanning everyone for signs of a potential threat. </p><p>I can't be the only one who feels this way</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MovementBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovementBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/left" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>left</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leftism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascist</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/progressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>progressive</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/activsm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activsm</span></a></p>
Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>(7/?) So to recap so far: People in the US aren't rising up en masse because we are living against the backdrop of an on-going <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid19</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> that is harming our health, committed activists have been <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/traumatized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>traumatized</span></a> and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/BurntOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BurntOut</span></a> by their so-called "comrades" and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leftist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftist</span></a> groups uncommitted to care, and in general, people in the US tend to exist in a state of precarity to begin with. </p><p>Those are, to me, the big reasons why people aren't flooding the streets to stop <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a>'s <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coup</span></a> or <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>'s blatant <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/unconstitutional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unconstitutional</span></a> overreaches. And of course, this is what the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/fascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascists</span></a> want. They want us tired and burnt out and precarious so that we will let them have their way, and they know full well that once they consolidate power, they will keep us even more traumatized, burnt out, and precarious as they continue to oppress and exploit us for their own gain. What do we do about this?</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MovementBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovementBuilding</span></a></p>
