Instead of pitying yourself because Trump won donate to Mai or Ahmed who are both suffering in ways you can't even imagine.

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

im trying not to be mean either bc i get for some ppl this is their first election voting in and all but ur going to survive genuinely u r gonna live and get thru this and u need to quit the tears and go google what can be done in ur community to build more connection and out reach if ur white u need to gulp down fear and start calling out ur family members for their conservatism like im over it im over the pity and the melt downs u people dont listen to those of us on the bottom i survived both the trump and biden presidency and both of them harmed me but many of you are able to turn away because your whiteness allows it, project 2025 does not scare me bc america in its structural core is project 2025 they have already been doing this to my people and all the other ppl of color here im not afraid im annoyed and i need u ppl to put the tissues down and actually push back bc we cannot continue to be the only ppl caring

i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.
