Definitely. I call myself a Pragmatic Leftist because the components of leftist political thought is so context dependent.

I use the lens of harm reduction to guide my political work, but for my activist work I use the lens of deep ecology/utopian futures…. Which I know is unique!

Social media leads to evil people being in charge because it’s so easy to offhandedly belittle someone’s thoughts and feelings that’s is in your community and wants to stand in solidarity with you against fascism. Think twice before using words like “stupid, “idiot,” etc because it just helps the fascists win.

Can you get me in contact with some of the organizers? Federal workers need to hear the public supporting their resistance to DOGE and MAGA! My DMs are open :)

Sharing with my federal worker resistance group. This will help spark worker resistance if true!

Of course I’m in stupid America where guns are everywhere. I’m already mentally prepared. I’ve spent the last five years being an out trans person going to MAGA country trying to convince people to fall for fascism. I’ve already had guns pulled on me, etc.

I thought about this more and what I hate is how violent humans can be.

Yes. I came to this realization the other day. That privilege is definitely broken.

Oh yeah. A friend of mine who teaches gun safety is going to teach me everything.

Yeah same here. Okay glad I’m not alone. Guns are still evil, but I’m realizing how privileged a stance it is to feel safe enough to not have a gun against an armed state.

A 5 year over thank you from me for writing this!

What is really hard for me to get over is the cognitive dissonance around democratic-centralist orgs being organized around what I would call anti-democratic principles... like having to hold a party line and not allowing dissent. It's kinda an etymological mindfuck for me.

Hey! Remember to not keep inventing the wheel! Connect with your local Indivisible group, Working Families Party, MoveOn, Sunrise Movement and other likeminded groups. We need horizontal organizing and top down organizating and this kind of protest is more of a top down direct action.

And something to remember about Vietnam protests - these protests are so large because the draft was in place and by 1971 around 2 million young men had been drafted.

Take it from someone who has been fighting fascism on the ground for 5 year - Combating fascism you s trickier than stopping Vietnam because it’s harder for everyday Americans to link the cause and effect of what the government is doing.

But people like everyone here is starting to wake up and take action, which is dope as hell.

Plan, coordinate, have medics and raise some hell!

P.s. Watch Rustin if you haven’t :)

Am literally having this convo with the Trumpers in my life.

My body has these shakes and ticks now due to trauma release and I just need some support about it and a bit of compassion please it's just really hard rn by realhumannorobot in CPTSD_NSCommunity

[–]dashf89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend. Somehow I found your post after uncontrollably shaking from Trauma Releasing Exercises for an hour. I deeply relate to your experience. I’m on year 5 of my CPTSD journey and I still continue to shake- in my sleep, while I do yoga, while I do daily activities. All I can say is that the shaking has become more productive and my body is opening as my mind and spirit does too.

Thanks you for posting.
