So, here is the reality. Everything that you thought would be worse case scenario—double it. There is truly no real bracing for what this full on assault will bring but key things:
1. Try your best to protect your money as a recession if not deep depression is coming.
1/3
2. If you’re using ACA I suggest you book all health appointments now before January 20th.
3. If you’re a woman of childbearing age I suggest you stock up on all birth control and Plan B.
4. If you’re living in a mixed status household contact an immigration lawyer.
2/3
5. If children you love attend public school I suggest you begin sourcing other options as this will most likely be their last school year.
6. If you’re headed to college you may want to look abroad for options as this administration is going to cut funding.
And by cut funding I mean completely decimate colleges and universities that don’t comply with their standards essentially turning the country’s education into Florida.
7. If you work at a non-profit they are getting ready to pass a measure that would allow the president to defund.
The defunding would come after such groups are labeled as terrorist orgs.
Folks this unfolding isn’t going to take years it will take months. We can’t prepare for what we don’t know but history is our guide here.

Save yourself from the relentless finger pointing and “unpacking” mainstream media will be doing over the next few years. Trump won because he invested in the delusions of white America. He primed them—and those believing that their proximity will save them from harm. 1/4
Delusional white Americans and those that covet whiteness voted for Trump because they believe in the visions of Elon Musk and MAGA that will place white people at the center of the universe where they feel they belong. 2/4
MAGA will come for the undocumented, then transgender folks, the presumed others and low hanging fruit. Then they will go after Black folks, women, the rest of the LGBQ community, Muslims, Jewish folks… and then they will turn their attention on the ones that voted for them 3/4
Yesterday every major network carried Donald Trump’s press conference live. No fact checking, no follow up questions, no journalism. As @Lawrence said “it’s 2016 all over again”. 9 damn years later & the media has changed NOTHING. The American people deserve better. A full🧵 1/4
If America is to restore democracy we need to turn our TV’s, phones & all screens off to the “news” & tune into our neighbors and our communities. Not one of the networks carried @VP UAW event. Why?!? Because networks aren’t “liberal” they are run by MAGA in sheep’s clothing. 2/4
Do not allow yourselves to be fooled or moved into complacency because of the willingness of corporate media to lie directly to your face everyday about who Donald Trump is b/c what they really want is access not the truth! Tune them out and tune into your own communities. 3/4
