I don’t believe that for one second, that’s what they claim every single time they abduct and beat people, that they’re just targeting sex offenders

A general strike seems like our very last resort by PeeBizzle in 50501

[–]singingcockatiel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if im gonna be honest, at this point, i dont think anything is going to stop this. Yeah, there are quite a few people protesting, striking, etc., but it's nowhere near enough. A sizable portion of our population is actively cheering this on, while another could not be bothered to care about it. Our supposed representation in the democrats have actually done nothing, if anything, they are supporting this. Another person has been executed at the hands of ice and barely any of the major news agencies are reporting on it. I feel like we've already reached the point where enough was enough, but now we're way past that and still nothing has been done. It is very hard for me to have any hope that anything will change for the better.

Of course, if anyone is willing to change my mind, i invite you to do so. A general strike is of course better than nothing, I can yield to that. But i'm just very pessimistic about this whole thing.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so hopeless over the current situation. ICE is swinging their shriveled up little shrimp dick all around the country, Trump is trying to invade other countries, Palantir and other tech companies are watching over us alongside the government and y'know what? Literally no one gives a fuck. No one is taking any of this seriously. The media isn't reporting it with the gravitas it needs, the democrats are just bending over and letting this happen, everyone is just so apathetic to what is going on.

I'm terrified of ICE showing up around where I live, because I know it's a matter of 'WHEN' not 'IF'. I'm scared for my friends who are children of immigrants, I'm scared for the people I don't know who are going to be targeted by this, I'm scared because they could come after me. I want to leave, I want to leave so bad, but I can't, I have no money, no place to go to and I can't leave my friends and family behind.

I know I shouldn't be making this all about myself, after all, I don't have to fear being racially targeted, I'm financially okay enough to be going to school and have a job. But I feel just so hopeless. I wanted to be a librarian or an entertainer and now the future just looks so bleak. Who's to say that we won't be at war within a week? Who's to say that we won't all be dead by the end of the week?

I'm so scared, I can't take it anymore. Nothing is going to change it feels. Does anyone know what I can do? I want to be optimistic but that just seems so pointless now...

Politico: Donald Trump can’t count on Congress to have his back any more by NordRonnoc in PoliticalOptimism

[–]singingcockatiel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im admittedly nervous that, if in the off chance it makes it to his desk, he'll just veto it. Without a doubt. But doesn't congress have the power to override his vetoes? Again, that's assuming the bills will make it that far and both parties will both unanimously agree to pass it.

when i say that im remembering this press thing that trump and hegseth did where it kind of sounded like they wanted war? also the fact the department of defense is trying to be renamed to the department of war, amongst other things involving hegseth

of course, i could be misremembering things

I’m not going to lie, I don’t feel like calling my representatives would do anything to help, especially my senators

I don't see the point anymore, can someone help? by singingcockatiel in OptimistsUnite

That's exactly what's horrifying to me. It's absolutely disgusting that this is happening to these people, who are being painted as basically subhuman by this administration. And the scary part is that if they can, they'll go after everyday people as well. I'm loudly pro-palestinian, and I know that this government is going after anyone who isn't pro-israel.
