I am scared. Please read.
I have been on TikTok for 5 years. I almost always post political content. I am very far left and I am self assured and outspoken so I have no problem talking about what I believe in and what I see. I have never, and let me tell you, never had a flag or video removal on TikTok. I have had two videos taken down in the last two days. Both are NEWS. Not even news related to ICE or prison or insurrection or MAGA, ect. Only pure news relating to the current administration and my EDUCATED and THOUGHTFUL responses to the implications of these policies and events on the public and how it warps our mind. Normal things that every country in the world talks about and that I have personally been able to talk about my whole life because I live in America. I had a video removed today for “violent extremism”…. on a post about how I believe Trump will be repealing TikTok before the 75 days are up and I noted that Hitler only took 60 days to convert the German government to a Nazi government.
We need to go offline. Our communications are owned by the oligarchy. I am not a conspirator or an extremist. I am a realist. I do not get joy or satisfaction in scaring myself or others.
Do not talk to ICE. Print immigrations rights cards for people in your community who are Spanish only speakers. Contact your school boards and advocate for protections for children of immigrants who are birth right citizens and even if they’re not! Bipartisan politics will CONTINUE to divide us until there is NO ONE left on the left. No. One. Show up to city council and school board meetings. Familiarize yourself with indoctrination language especially that of Trump, luckily it is simple and easy to spot but insidious because it can come across as “accessible and easy to understand”.
If people are being treated unfairly at work. SPEAK UP. Rally your coworkers, make sure you are all in agreement that regardless of politics you all deserve fair treatment, we are all humans.
Stop at traffic stops when there are minorities with white police officers. Use your body. Use your voice. Be confident. You know your rights. You cannot be intimidated.
Authority has to prove itself useful to the people to have any authority over the people, if the authority is not in your best interest you should feel empowered to challenge it. Empower yourself. You matter. Your life matters. Everyone’s lives matter.
