"immediately alert local law enforcement". UHHHHH.

I'm really not trying to be the conspiracy theorist here, but last time something like this happened (Roe v. Wade retraction), I was more in a position to help. New tariffs and exporting essential workers cause the price of living to rise, as it has been. I can't help but feel it's deliberate. Bankrupting the people to cripple them. No money, no power in this world. Maybe I'm just paranoid. But I can't help but feel more handcuffed this time round.

I don't think it will happen in my lifetime, but California, Oregon and Washington should become provinces of Canada. That would be 18.23% of the 2024 USA GDP. Add in New York and it's over 26%

Also be sure to remind people that some apps actively sell whatever info you give them to whoever's willing to pay. Messaging apps, period trackers, religious apps, you name it. There are apps that have been proven not to do this, though, especially open source options. Signal Messenger's been proven to only be able to provide law enforcement with when you signed up and when you last signed in, for example.

#4 a thousand times yes. And get the fuck off of Prime as well. Idgaf how many upvotes Invincible and Fallout memes get you.

As much as I care, all this amounts to is a fart in the wind. I mean Christ you guys voted for this. I’m not trying to be obtuse but the one common train of thought emerging is “you guys voted for this knowing full well what he’d do”
yeahhedugit
Hey, barely half of us voted for him. A third of the country is two fat, dumb, and happy to care.
colderfish
Hmmm.... I'm more like, "if you see an ICE vehicle parked outside a school, set it on fire".
LullabyJones
“If you trust your local police” HAHAHAHAHA yeah, no buddy.

At this point, unless it's a crime against me or my family, I didn't see it. If they want citizens to help them do their jobs, they need to do their jobs better in the first place.
WhowasDariusRucker
Right? That was wildly optimistic

"If" is the keyword.
Badprenup
What's the point of an "if" when the answer is always "no"?

As a Canadian I am resisting that orange turd by boycotting American goods. Sorry Americans. But I can’t buy your stuff until your president stops threatening my country with annexation.

Please do to the best of your extend. We're pretty fucked down here.

Everyone follow 4! Boycott! Vote with your money.

Doing my best to ratfuck the economy for Trump.

Costco seems to be on the good guy list.
StarscreamAndHutch
Always follow the money. We can slow down/strangle the fascist weed. What tax breaks are citizens going to realize now that all these government agencies / functions are halted?none. Whats the value to me? Should I even bother paying taxes?
WhatTheFrench
Yes! My family had gradually increased our use of Amazon over the last few years. I cut off Prime when Bezos fucked with WaPo and moved our Christmas spending to Target and smaller online and brick and mortar retailers. Hubs was mad about losing Prime Video but we had a talk and he’s on board now.

Since trump's 1st term I started donating to ACLU & SPLC $50/yr each. The day after this last election I gave each $300.

Actually the vote difference was 0.7% our CA votes weren’t done yet. Also 33% of the voting population did not vote so please make sure to thank them too.

I wish I could trust my elected officials, but I live in a red state that has signaled that they will help with mass deportations, pass legislation to harm LGBTQ folk, and fight against the public good.
MissSiesta
If you identify someone in trouble, you may be able to help smuggle them out. Be prepared. Make small kits for example. Find others, like yourself
Gayforbae
Same. I honestly don't know what to do here beyond attending the queer self defense class.

^I'm a second class citizen now but damned if I'm going to be quiet. If I have no future, I'll be a fucking problem.

Same. I'm in Florida. I can't trust any of my elected officials.

To boycott Fox advertisers, we need to know whom they are, which we will only know if we watch Fox News or there is a list of their advertisers posted.

Add NewsMax and One America News Network to your list.

I told my neighbors to claim they're from Spain. The odds of them meeting an American cop who knows where Spain is are in their favor.

As a trans woman who is mid transition, I dont feel fully "camouflaged " in girl *or* boy mode. What can I do? I feel terrified about going out in public for fear of what an emboldened asshole might do, or worse, an emboldened bad cop. But I can't just stay holed up at home for 4 years on the good will of my loved ones

I wish I knew, but I know if you make a post about that, you will get more than enough help from this community. We are with you in spirit and those who can will advise.

There are folks out there who want to help: https://aflcio.org/formaunion . The Unions can be a bastion against these tyrants. "Agitate, Educate, Organize!"
yeahhedugit
Even all those unions that supported Trump?
Iaimtomisbehave
https://www.americanprogressaction.org/article/while-other-voters-moved-away-from-the-democrats-union-members-shifted-toward-harris-in-2024/ Unions are made by the members, that's why you have to educate folks. Trump loves the uneducated.
peedrinkingcrapface
this is only the personality cult of a very old man. it won't last.
it lacks any of the ideological sophistication that has underpinned the long-lived dictatorships of the last century. likewise, the country it seeks to enslave, for all her flaws, lacks anything resembling the autocratic traditions of Germany, Italy, Russia, China, Korea, etc - whose dictators found ready-made within the culture and institutions of the public such accommodating framework for their tyrannical ambitions.
DigYourselfBaby
That is an excellent point. These guys look like little boys that found the keys to mom & dad's liquor cabinet, and, although people will be genuinely hurt in the next several years, 45/47 is no Idi Amin, Ferdinand Marcos, or Benito Mussolini.
Anudderuser
Even better to not lean away from it. Get mad and get organized.

I can't believe we are at the point where we are spreading tips and practices to protect each other from the FUCKING PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. This is cuckoo banana sauce clownshoes world now.

Im old enough to remember when Obama deported 3 million people and no one lifted a finger. We passed 'the point' a long time ago

is that how we lost MF DOOM in the UK?

it will result in civil war. once the gravy seals run away to save their own asses, Trump will throw the GOP and SCOTUS under the bus so he can escape.

It is Imperative to insist on Proper Due Process. They want to talk, demand a lawyer for yourself, and proper documentation for their need to talk.
If they can't produce legitimate Identification, and a Warrant, tell them to piss off. Don't be afraid to call your local cops, if the clowns won't leave your porch.

Project 2025 is poised to make your life a living hellscape, so please consider supporting the Freedom From Religion Organization. They are not anti-religious, they are pro separation of church and state. So were our founding fathers. https://ffrf.org/

Unless they can buy off Supreme court justices, not much else to be done.

Also note with the DEI revocation EO he signed.. he's already trying to get witch hunts going and having citizens inform on each other.

They also provide a lot of support for people who are separating from their religions whether due to questioning beliefs, inability to support church policies, or anything else. This includes people who aren't sure if they want to leave or not.
They provide community and places to talk and feel safe. They also provide connections to things like secular therapists and doctors.
They are an amazing organization.

These suggestions are all so nice and sanitized. The rest of the world knows how to protest. Go march on and trample all Trump's golf courses. Stage sit-ins in the lobbies and sidewalks of all his properties. Raise hell. Make havoc. Do not take this shit politely.
DigYourselfBaby
You nailed it there with "the rest of the world". Sorry as I am to say it, the american ass is too fat to get up & take action. They'll all for OTHER people to do it, not specifically themselves.
yeahhedugit
Well, he just justified people protesting by storming the capital. That justifies a lot of unseemly behavior according to him.
