*pulls your face real close to mine* Listen. To. Me.
You fucking fight
I’m not american, I can’t imagine how terrified those who are LGBT+, POC, Disabled, Female, Islamic, and any other minority of the US must feel right now, despite how scared I am myself.
But you wake up tomorrow and you fight. You show that fucking orange dickbag that you will not go quietly. You will survive. You are smart, brave and important to your country no matter what anyone tries to tell you.
You fight to keep yourself safe, you fight to make your voice heard, you fight for your future, you fight for those around you.
This is not the end, this is the beginning of a long road ahead but I believe in you.
Stay safe, look out for yourself, stay informed, and survive just to spite them.
I love you all. Let me know what more I can do.

Make no mistake, third party voters helped elect Donald Trump
In almost every swing state where the race was close, both Gary Johnson and Jill Stein’s share of the vote would have been enough to sway the election to Hillary Clinton.
- In Florida, nearly 204,000 people voted for Johnson, and more than 63,000 voted for Stein. Even if Clinton won just half of those 267,000 voters, that would have been enough for her to overtake Trump’s 132,000-vote win.
- In Michigan, Johnson garnered more than 139,000 votes, while Stein got more than 41,000. Stein’s votes alone would’ve been enough for Clinton to overtake Trump in the Wolverine State.
- In Wisconsin, nearly 95,000 voters picked Johnson and 27,000 picked Stein. Clinton was losing the state by around 88,000 votes as of press time.
If Clinton had won even one of those states, Trump would not have had a path to victory. And saying Johnson only took away votes from Trump doesn’t seem to hold up.
Inktober #10 - Nine lives
Never in the history of the struggle against oppression in all its forms have we relied on the benevolence of the state. We have always, always relied on one another. We are still here, and we are never going away. Look out for your Black friends, your Brown friends, your Native friends your Muslim friends, your female friends, your gay friends, your trans friends. Stand in solidarity with one another. Show love for one another. Keep one another safe. This is going to be painful, but it’s going to be okay.
Just in case y'all were wondering how’s Mexico doing…
Our coin went from 18 pesos to 21.50 pesos a dollar (and will probably reach 22.50), our products and services will be more expensive by the morning. No one will want to invest here. We’re humiliated, we were called rapists and apparently most of you agree. We’re threatened to be separated by a wall… Do you have idea how many millions of families will be separated? How many children will see their parents being deported? The violence migrants will receive? How deeply your economy will be affected? Old and young, we have our heads down, we don’t know what to expect. But thanks for making it clear, one more time, how hated we are for most of you.
But these same racist fucking assholes that voted for Trump will vacation in Cabo and Cancun
