First, I want to acknowledge that this post will be political in nature. If you take issue with this being political at all, then I ask -- why do you follow me? Most of my narrative work is highly political and all my overweight art in general is geared with the intent of being political. Fat acceptance at its core is politics.

With that out of the way, I want to express some of my anxieties about the current "administration." There's an attempt right now to control the media, the news and the minds of younger people and it's all geared towards preparing them for the right wing. The right likes to gaslight and claim that it's leftists or liberals who want to control the narrative and we couldn't be less powerful at this moment. It's a situation where DonMcTacoTits is leading the country straight into authoritarianism to the point where making a post like this could lead to my eventual imprisonment if I stay in the United States. No, this is not paranoia or exaggeration -- the goals have been stated clearly and if there's one thing DonMcTacoTits does its never lie when it's about doing something evil. He's antagonized our allies (bombing of Iran), aligned himself with countries declared as genocidal by the UN, censored LGBTQ literature, opened concentration camps (Alligator Alcatraz), suspended habeas corpus under Miller and ICE, dismantled institutions that benefit the people like the CFPB, given millions in funding to AI, harnessed violence (threatening the entire leftist half of the country in the face of Charlie Kirk) and dismissed political assassinations when its by general lawmakers on the left (Melissa Hortman). This is not an exhaustive list and I fear for trans people especially.

DonMcTacoTits' actions are as awful as they could possibly be and if he survives his term in office he will attempt to remain in office. It is very reminiscent of a fuhrer. This is no joke.


I'm making this post as a call to action -- you *must* organize. You *must* not communicate over discord, use signal if you can. You *must* vote out neo-liberal democrats in the vein of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries as they will not vote for you (look at who funded them, if it's a certain country with the letter "I" stay away!) You *must* be engaged with all local elections possible. You *must* not stop speaking out about things publicly -- even if it's with vague language like I've been doing. Know that they are keeping a record of what you say -- push it as far as you can, as uncensored as you can, and never stop speaking truths. Something has to be done. Do or die.
