no matter what i am doing or thinking about there is always a tiny part of my mind dedicated to hoping donald trumps dick explodes
guys i think its working
ref:
the biggest thing that fucks me up about lil nas x is he put out some REALLY fun creative music, with a really cute minimalist pink early 2000s aesthetic, super queer and well made, and it got so little attention. and then the whole bullshit with him getting arrested happened and that was what got everyone talking about it. fuck i'd be livid if i were him.
& on my own people: a lot of white queer people love lil nas x when he's doing cunty clapbacks online but don't actually support him materially in any way. which like. its not that you are Morally Obligated To Stream HOTBOX, its not activism or anything. & idk if i have the best perspective to really analyze white queer people online's relationship to him. but it frustrates me to watch.
but like seriously do stream hotbox
nicki minaj has gone full fascist anyways. montero is the new queen of cunty music videos ft a pool of pink water.
In case people don't realize the full extent of what's going on, we are under siege in Minnesota. I live in an affluent, majority white suburb of Minneapolis, and ICE is all over the place terrorizing people. They showed up at the library, kitted out in their Temu tactical gear, and stormed it.
The library. Please let that sink in.
They've pulled weapons on legal observers and physically attacked them. They're threatening teenagers and children with death. One woman told a story at my, again, affluent, majority white suburban town's city council meeting this week of being shoved from behind so hard that she fell down by an ICE agent, who then said to her, "Stop touching me." A man, in tears and begging for our city government to do something to help our neighbors, described having a baton pulled on him. They're luring people out of their workplaces with lies about "hitting someone's car in the parking lot" and then abducting them. Citizens and legal residents are being detained. People are being racially profiled and snatched. A teenager (a US citizen) working at Target got dragged out and shoved in a car, then dumped a mile away in a Wal-mart parking lot, beaten up and crying. And all of this is after they murdered Renee Good.
I don't emphasize the demographics of my particular suburb to say "but this shouldn't be happening here, we have money!" but to illustrate that the Trump administration has declared war on a US state. Even if you stick your head in the sand because you're white and won't be directly targeted, ICE is running traffic lights, speeding, tearing the wrong way on one way streets, and causing nasty accidents because they think they're above the law. They think it doesn't matter who they hurt or kill, because they're being told straight from the top that they can do whatever they want to whoever they want.
We are all under attack, and this is coming to a city near you if we don't stand up to it. Please stand with Minnesota, as well as LA, Portland, Chicago, and every other place DHS has sent their COD cosplay gestapo. I don't know what that looks like for you but please, please, don't ignore this.
I live in Minneapolis. OP is not being dramatic. We will continue this fight, but please everything you can to stand with us because nobody in this country is safe if they get away with these crimes against humanity.
Ways You Can Stand Up To ICE:
If you live in Minnesota, join the statewide economic shutdown and protest march on Friday, January 23!
ICE whistle resources - short bursts indicate ICE presence, long blasts indicate detainment or violence. Car horns can be used the same way. If you hear these signals and are part of a high-risk demographic, stay inside and lock your doors.

If someone you know has been detained, you can attempt to locate them here. I don’t know how well this works with the way they’re disappearing people, but it’s probably worth a shot

Comfort eating is not immoral. Stress eating is not immoral. Binge eating is not immoral. Overeating is not immoral.
Weight gain and eating are not immoral.
Woow okay so somebody was fatphobic on this post except under the veneer of "Erm my friend is recovering from binge eating disorder so this is really harmful :////"
Wow. Let's step the fuck back for a second shall we.
You saw me say that it's not evil and immoral to engage in these behaviors. Nor is it evil and immoral to gain weight. You saw me try to destigmatize the behaviors your friend was suffering from. I said the words "not immoral". I didn't say "harmless". I didn't say "Not a big deal".
And your fucking response is that it's a harmful statement? Do you do this with all your friends' struggles? Do you get offended when people try to destigmatize self harm scars? Do you scoff at somebody asking to give drug users more grace instead of emotionally beating them up over their coping mechanisms? Is that better? Does that help? Is that less harmful?
Go fuck yourself. Suddenly it's all "Recovery tho" when we DARE try to share positivity to behaviors associated with tHe FatTieS!! 11!1!1 go fuck yourself.
Run of the mill fatphobia I'm used to. But you are not pro recovery nor pro harm reduction NOR an ally to mentally struggling people or addicts if you have a problem with a post like this. I'm not gonna hold your hand for this today and I'm not gonna be nice.
Destigmatize weight gain and eating.
It is NOT IMMORAL.
Ok, so I am now watching the full 18 minute video on YouTube and it's amazing.
Especially the line "I realised I have absolutely no idea how to teach an octopus piano."
I need everyone to see the update on Mattias' yt community tab
Some myths that need debunking because they're being pushed by bots and it’s making me angry:
1. "He's gonna declare martial law!" Okay, so what then? This isn't something you can enforce nationwide on a country of 350 million people with a military that has a combined force of less than 3 million people, including all support and logistics staff. That doesn't equal half the population of Los Angeles. Y'all need to fucking stop acting like we're approaching a mythical point where shit gets "serious." We're already there. People are already being disappeared.
Civilians are already being killed in the streets. We're there. And you know what? They're already getting near the limits of their ability to force compliance. ICE is dedicating a double digit percentage of their manpower to Minneapolis and they're not controlling shit. People are pushing back. Your default response when the administration says "We will force you to do this" shouldn't be "Oh no they're gonna make us do this!" It should be "Fuck you. Make me."
2. "Americans are doing nothing!" I did a post about this recently, but it bears revisiting: I don't know where the hell you're getting this, because everywhere that ICE or other arms of the federal enforcement apparatus go, they are being pushed back on, humiliated, driven out of neighborhoods, and shown the door. People are fighting back on a truly awe inspiring level. Stop assuming that "doing something" looks like an armed mass of civilians storming Washington and fighting the military in a pitched battle. This is movie bullshit. The world has not looked like that since the early 20th century. What you are seeing, right now, is what "doing something" looks like. Stop it stop it stop it. We ARE doing something, in vast numbers.
3. "He's gonna cancel elections!" This one has been pushed by bots for the last year, and big name people have been picking it up, and it frustrates the hell out of me so I'm going to hold your hand and tell you bluntly: He. Cannot. Do. This. There is no mechanism. Elections are controlled by the states, and they decide when they happen. There is no federal mechanism for control of elections. What's Trump gonna do? Post soldiers at every polling place in every swing state? Do you know how many polling places there are in every district? How much manpower this would require? He doesn't have the people to do it. He doesn't have the mechanical ability to do it. There are no tools to execute this plan. Is he gonna try to make elections unfair? You bet your ass, but our elections have never been fair. Voter suppression has always existed and will continue to exist until we fix it... but a blanket ban of elections or even some ability to make them not happen? Lol. He doesn't have the manpower or the means.
But what if he did? Let's game this out: Congress--or at least the House of Representatives--is not a perpetual body. At the end of 2026 the current congress ceases to exist, and the next one isn't convened until the following year. Mike Johnson will cease to be Speaker at the end of the year and wont be Speaker again in '27 unless his party wins a sufficient majority to elect him. Remember if there are no elections then republicans will not have their seats in 2027. There will be no congress, and without congress, Trump does not have a mechanism for governance. I dunno about you, but those Republican reps like having their jobs, their staff, their salaries, and all the perks that come with office. They do not get those if there is no Congress. That is not something they want.
But he said he was gonna! And? So fucking what? He says a lot of things. He issued an executive order at the start of his second term ordering all school districts in the country to immediately cease teaching "DEI" whatever the hell that means. Do you know what most districts that weren't actively kissing his ass said? "That's nice. Make me." And then he didn't, because the states control their own education systems, not Trump. His words don't have the force of law, and are limited by what he actually has levers of power to accomplish. We are **still having elections.** Several happened last week. The States decide this. Trump doesn't.
The Midterms are gonna happen. They're gonna matter and they're gonna have consequences. And you all need to stop acting like he has power over things he doesn't just because he says he does. That's propaganda and you're falling for it.
As with all things Authoritarian, when Trump says "I'm gonna force you to do this," your response should be as I articulated above:
"Fuck you. Make me."
I love you all. Be safe. Don't comply in advance. Don't give them power they don't have just because they say they do.
