things to do…

So, I’ve been trying a few things.. This online stuff… I have mixed emotions about. See, I want to talk to some of you, maybe half, and do it openly online; however, I have discovered since waking up that online is a medium people use to stay anonymous and attack people with their disgusting racist propaganda and pro-rape beliefs. I have zero desire to talk to those people. I’m not going to expose myself to them because they are not worth my time and effort. It’s like arguing if slavery was right or wrong… there is no argument you assholes, it’s wrong. PERIOD

I have written a few postcards. I like this technique. Gives me a chance to write a short comment then send in the mail. I’ve heard this gets more attention in political offices than just an email or online form submission. I do not know if it is true tho… I can tell you it might work with your neighbors. Here’s the story I heard from a friend: I was driving home one day and happen to pass a very adamant supporter of trump. This house had flags lining ALL of it’s property. I thought, how gross… He’s so open about supporting a pedophile, I bet he is one too. SO I got his address and sent him a postcard saying exactly that. I said great job for supporting a pedophile so vehemently. makes your neighbors wonder if you are one too. CONGRATS! The next time I drove by that house, they only had one flag on their front porch, they removed all the ones surrounding their house. Great story and to that I say: Gotchya, pedophile supporter. Guess they don’t like being reminded of that… dumb fucking trump supporters, you all are asshole, racist, sexist scum.

I’ve tried calling senator and congress people’s office. I also have mixed feelings about this. I’m terrified of using the phone, I’ve done a lot of work to get past that fear, but this world does not make that easy. So, picking up the phone and making the call was hard enough. The cool part of this story is I did it. I didn’t get past the intern picking up the phone, not because of anything she did wrong. I didn’t get past her because I was so mad about what the senate was doing I couldn’t stop telling her how horrible it was that the person she was volunteering for was supporting it. Cool part is the rep’s office I called ended up declining support for the bill, that was cool. I’d like to say I did that, but I’m not that delusional to think my call was any type of tipping point, I just had to make it.

I’ve sent online form emails urging support for a bill or declining support for another bill. I get automatic messages back from those people. All of them, except the 2 women I sent emails about the abortion laws. I felt those 2 women actually read my email and sent me a valid response to my message. I felt heard and I felt they were on my side. Men, you need to learn from that. Not once have I felt heard from any representative I’ve contacted from my governor, senate and congress people and president. It was only those 2 women fighting for the rights to my body that heard what I had to say. Even if just an intern responding to the message, at least they took the time; none of you men did that.

I’ve shown up to no kings protests to show my support and solidarity to my community when my health allows it. I can’t go every weekend, it’s not realistic for me and my health. I can attempt to go a few times a year, although every one might be my last… The murders I have seen so far are when small groups of people are resisting in the streets of their community. If they start opening fire on large protest groups, I will probably get murdered…. And if they come to my local community and I see it happening, I will resist. You’re damn fucking right I will resist. And they will murder me. And that’s all I can do… is to keep doing what lets me sleep at night, because doing nothing is capitulation, and if there is one thing I know I can’t do; it’s roll over for bullies. Never will I ever do that, with my last breathe I will fight for those without my privledge, even when my priveledge is an illusion; I won’t make it easy for them to keep murdering americans. Until we are all safe, none of us are safe. When we can protect the most vulnerable, the ones without a voice; then call your country free. Until then, we are a sham. only white heterosexual men are free in america, I wouldn’t suggest coming here if you are anything else, because we are not free in america, we are a farce, a sham, propaganda built on a tightrope. And our tightrope has been cut. great job republicans, you destroyed everything that was good in america; because it was a sham, guess it was easier to do than many of us thought. Guess that’s shame on us for thinking we were safe. Freedom is something we should never stop fighting for. It should be taught to our kids that we MUST fight for it. If you sit idly by and do nothing, you deserve what you get. And for a few generations, our parents taught us to do nothing and look where we are? Losing every perceived freedom we ever had. SO wake up and do SOMETHING!!!!
