Stay safe rule, my brothers, sisters and anything outside and in between.

No idea where else I could post this with maximum visibility.

    I do want to point out that this isn’t a policy maker, just a vocal idiot.

    However, it is well understood that the fascists have no desire to include LGBTQ in their “in-group,” Given that the regime has already removed protections for Trans individuals, it’s a matter of time before RFK Jr refills the CDC and declares it a disease requiring extensive study.

    This means there is time to prepare. Immigrating is stupid hard. Moving is stupid hard. Find someone you trust that can hide you at a moments notice. Keep a pair of sunglasses on you that will cover your eyes well. Hair dye in black if you have light hair, bleach if it’s in a dark color. A change of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a backpack you’ve never worn or used. Edit: these don’t have to be new as in unused. In fact if it’s used, it will probably stand out less.

    Above all, remember this isn’t permanent. Fascism will break itself eventually, even if the rest of us are unable to.

        Actually, that brings up other things.

        I would also suggest shoes that have been worn, not by you, and sized bigger or half size smaller than your current shoe.

        If you wear jewelry? Now you don’t.

        If you don’t wear jewelry? Get some magnetic nose/earrings/lip things.

        If you have tattoos, for the love of everything, cover them. Tattoos are probably easier to identify someone than their own face.
