Please don't give up, things are dark and bleak right now but please don't give up. Everything me seem and feel impossible but there's so much left to fight for. So many to fight for.

*America, Now*
America, land of fractured dreams,
Where hope is dimmer than it seems.
Once bright with promise, strong and sure,
Now shadows linger, hard to cure.
The streets are loud, with voices raw,
Divided hearts, divided law.
Truth is scattered, torn in two,
While justice falters, lost from view.
The cost of care is measured cold,
A weight too heavy to uphold.
And children, eyes too young for grief,
See futures robbed by silent thieves.
Guns in hands, fear in eyes,
Unseen wounds and whispered lies.
A country built on strength and pride,
Feels splintered now, cracked open wide.
Yet still beneath the hardened soil,
There’s grit, there’s fight, a pulsing coil.
A spark of what it once could be—
A dream that strains to be set free.
America, bruised but holding on,
In every heart, a quiet dawn.
For even through the darkest night,
There’s still a chance to heal, to fight.
If you have been going through a rough patch in life, DO NOT GIVE UP. Think of something positive that you are looking forward to later... it could be getting your first car. Just DON'T GIVE UP.
That's my inspiring message for today and you should make it yours, too. If you want to hear what my rough patch is, DM me.
P. S, Reblog this if you agree!!
oh you better BET
Trump just declared that there are only 2 genders, so this is your reminder to get WEIRDER and QUEERER gang
On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.
On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.
Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

A message to everyone who is against Trump in the U.S,; don't give up.
I understand that statement may seem cliche and useless to many people. But everyone needs to understand the significance it holds.
I am heartbroken about the election results in the United States. But I will not stress how important it is to stay strong, and not give up on our democracy. I won't tell you it's not terrifying.
But we can't stop fighting for the rights of ourselves and others. No matter how hopeless it may seem at the moment, we must work together to maintain democracy in America.
If you feel like it's not worth it to keep trying, think of the genocide against the Palestinians, which will only reach new extremes under Trump's presidency (he has said he wants Netanyahu to be even more aggressive and tough on Palestine than he already is being—sit with that for a moment.) the transgender people who won't receive the affirming care they deserve, the people of color who now have nearly no protections against racism and police brutality, the children who won't have access to the education they need, who won't be protected against rapists and gun violence, the people who will not be able to get abortions no matter how dire their situations are, the legal and illegal immigrants who will be deported, the Ukrainians who will now longer have protection from America against the Russian invasion in their country. And there is so much more, so much more that we won't even see coming.
However, we can still do things to make a difference. Go to protests, educate yourself and others, donate to Palestinians/charities that help Palestinians and other people in need, volunteer at organizations that help women travel to different states to have legal safe abortions, flood your congressmen, representatives, mayors, governors, anyone in our government, with letters and complaints.
Use your voice! Remember, you have free speech no matter how much you are made to feel like you don't.
Now is not the time to worry about hurting anyone's feelings or being annoying. Be a bother. Force everyone who is using their power to ignore you and your rights to notice you.
Don't be scared to aggressive as you fight against the fascism that threatens our country. We cannot and will not allow this nation to slip further into hate, homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, white supremacy, xenophobia, misogyny, and anti immigrant ideology any more than it already has.
We cannot afford to be selfish or weak. Even if your state has voted to add protections for women and trans people in their state constitutions, doesn't mean you're safe. Do you think Trump won't do everything he can do outlaw these rights everywhere eventually? Fight and keep fighting. For everyone.
This may seem dramatic to some. I've heard the argument "Trump won't follow through. He's not being serious. He won't actually try to become a dictator", several times. Wake up! He has presented these intentions time and time again. Take his words at face value. He will strip people of their rights, especially if we actively chose to ignore his clearly communicated intentions. Do not think he won't do everything in his power to pass Project 2025 and other hateful, controlling, unconstitutional policies.
Believe it. But also believe in hope. It's easy to feel alone during this time. Remember, however, that there are millions of people behind you, and we can keep it that way if we remind ourselves and each other that we are fighting together and we will not give in.
No matter what, do not give up on our country and every single citizen that still needs our protection and support.
No matter what happens next don't give up. Go to protests, find leftist communities you can join, be loud. Be as loud as you can. Fight for your freedom, because with the cursed orange in power people will have the opportunity to wake up and see for themselfs what the far right actually stand for. I know it's gonna be hard, but please don't give up. Every time in history before we take one big step in the right direction we backtrack a little. Trump in power is just temporary. Just don't give up.
