"guys please call one of these numbers instead of killing yourself. i know it’s tough, but we gotta survive"

With the election results, its time to start thinking like a criminal

Wear a mask to prevent facial ID
You dont know any LGBT people
You don't know any immigrants
You don't know anyone who's pregnant
You don't use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc
You don't use geolocation on pictures you take (can find in camera settings)
No apps should have access to unnecessary things like location, contacts, microphone, camera, etc.

It's not time to panic now, it's time to be secure first

More tips will come, but I'll space them out so we all have a step to work on instead of a laundry list.

No matter who wins the election - autonomous anti-capitalist movements and struggles are going to have to adapt, organize, and grow in the current terrain. Here's some ideas about how you can get started.

to people a lot younger than me in amerikkka, I just feel like I should try and prepare you for what we’re in for.

in Trump’s first term, things happened very fast, scarily fast how things escalated. by April 2017, 3 months in, we had Nazis openly marching in the streets in Appalachia. a few months later, they marched through Charlottesville VA with torches. four months later, they killed Healther Heyer in that city.

but antifascsts beat them, counterorganized and tracked and identified and intercepted and disrupted every step of the way, and many of their organizations collapsed

but the state was the real danger. the ICE camps and the gestapo, the ramp up of police terror, the FBI, the door-knocks, the assassinations and disappearings…

whatever you do, it’s imperative that you keep yourself safe. only trust end-to-end encrypted comms, like Signal with verified safety numbers. every lock can be picked, but don’t make it any easier for them than you have to.

know who you can really trust and keep close to them. nobody else will keep you safe. we don’t have the luxury of petty disagreements. we have to prioritize our survival and remember who our real enemies are.

arm yourself as much as you can, and learn how to defend yourself. I would have liked to have lived a peaceful life too, but we don’t have that luxury either. use every advantage you can get to protect yourself.

we’re going to have estrogen, one way or another, it’s an organizing challenge not an impassable wall. we’re going to do what we can to help each other, like we always do.

get ready.

"I thought we were better tha…"

Nah, I'ma stop you there, chief.

Blacks have been telling you. Jews been telling you. Latinx been telling you. The Queer Continuum been telling you. Every flavor and spice of brown people have receipts.

For *decades.*

Be mad. Be sad. But don't you dare claim we are somehow falling short of the very meager expectations by *surprise.*

I'd just like to point out that an incredibly "likable" woman ran this time, and it's still really close with that awful, monster of a man.

It was never about Hillary's "likability." Many Americans will simply repeatedly choose the most unintelligent man over the smartest woman time and again.
