Dehumanizing Bigots Is Bad, Not Because I Want To Be Nice To Them, But Because They Are Human Beings

Found this important just in general. When precedent cases go through, many tend to sweep the country after that. People really need to unite, before everyone’s gone and there’s no one left to fight for freedom.

Here’s a link to the bill in question. Some stuff in it is amazingly great, but it feels like they’re trying to sneak that other stuff in…: https://www3.oklegislature.gov/cf_pdf/2025-26%20INT/SB/SB593%20INT.PDF

First people they considered illegal.

Then people outside of what they consider the correct gender.

Now people who read, write, and have romance. (This includes stuff targeted to men too; ie. your dating sims. Hentai. Porn. AI chat bots. etc.. These laws will be for everyone.)

And tariffs, that have been put in motion to happen this year, and will impact everyone but the rich.

But the more they try to do, the more people realize what’s been done. Now is the time to slowly get rid of your fear and anxiety. Walk around your room, read a book about your favorite character being awesome. Call your parent(s) for a chat. You only need to do just enough, just enough, to start helping out, even if that helping is spreading one word of correct information. You did that. You helped.

We can do this, just listen to me. You can do this.

But I need you to help me too.

And everyone else.

We can do it.

Les Misérables will be okay.

Just a neat motivation song is these times! Hope everyone is having a nice day or night!

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Yes, people are "doing something".

NINETEEN STATES have joined the suit so far. In a climate this divided, that's not nothing. That's SOMETHING.

Many of the people in power know this is wrong. Others are realizing that people aren't going to stand for this forever. Keep the pressure up. Don't give up, don't give them your despair.

And don't fall victim to the illusion that nobody is resisting. The fact that you haven't seen it means it is being concealed from you, not that it does not exist. Much is being done and will be done without your knowledge. Do not let the assumption that nobody ELSE is fighting cause you to abandon the fight. That is precisely what they want to achieve.

This can be turned around. Even if you don't believe that, it doesn't hurt to act as though you do.

Keep pressing.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Really good message and other stuff about important dates for protests! Keep up the great work everyone! You can do it, we can do it!

Two things I need Today's Youth to know:

1. Anything the government says is propaganda

2. 99% of vegetables taste better roasted
