I promise this is probably as political as my blog is gonna get.
I recommend reading it all the way through.
Okay so incase anyone is not aware, I'm being let go from the military. I was told this past week. Ive been sitting with it and i wanted to share my thoughts.
No misconduct, no insubordination, no defying orders. I am being separated because I am trans. No, I'm not simplifying it down. It's because I'm trans, full stop.
I thought when I joined, I'd be protecting the country to which I call home. But it seems that country has betrayed me. This also doesn't just affect me. My freinds and coworkers are being forced out of their jobs. And all this isn't even a quarter. The orange shitbag in charge has been done.
He and his moronic VP had the audacity to insult the Ukrainian president to his face. The pure idiocy of letting an arrogant nazi meddle with capital funds. The bs of cutting off aid to vulnerable countries who have already been suffering for years. Aiding and abetting the invaders of those said countries. I mean this truly fuck this country.
And this all isn't only gonna affect our foreign allies and the "woke" but also the people who voted for the Toupee Tyrant. We are already seeing it with the loss of Medicare and medicaid. Trump voters in red states can't afford their medice or they're having to pay an arm and a leg for it.
The new S.A.V.E. act basically states that if you try to vote but ur current last name doesn't match the one on your birth certificate, you can't vote. Who will this mostly affect? Conservatives who believe the woman in a hetero marriage should take the man's last name.
Oh, and you also won't be able to vote showing ur State id/drivers licence. u need ur birth certificate and/or your passport. And an interesting fact, a study shows that a majority of republicans/conservatives don't have passports. And passports cost a decent amount. So have fun trying ngl to reflect him if u misplaced ur birth certificate.
Oh, and though it is to a far lesser extent, college students who voted for him. Their student financial aid is being cut if it isn't already.
What they, and by they I mean Donald Trump, VP Vance, Elon Musk(for some fuckin reason) and all the other rich 1% oligarchs, are doing is keep the masses uneducated, un medicated, and rivalled against each other.
I do not say all this to go, " HA HA, look at all those stupid republicans!"
NO!!!! I say this because we are each and every one of us in this together! We need to put our differences aside and look at what the people in power are really doing. Not what they say they are doing.
And this isn't even just a republicans call out. Democrats are to be blamed as well because they are just as much reactionaries as the republicans are.
The Dems in power care only for performative tolerance and only support the minorities living the "normal and morale" way.
Rich carrer politicians are the ones to blame! They are the enemy! They want us below them scrambling and fighting in the mud for scraps, so they walk on us and not even have to get their shoes dirty!
United, we stand against oppression! Divided, we fall!!!

[Start ID: A digital drawing of a Palestinian Sunbird perched on an olive branch holding the gilbert-baker and trans pride flag in its beak. There is big text in the bottom left corner in a gradient of green to red which says, "Queers for Palestine". The background is a dulled grayish green with a repeating pattern of simple watermelons and keys, with the outline of a river running down the center. In the upper left corner is a watermark that says "TheCraftyDragonC". End ID]
Important thing to remember: the only reason the number of deaths in Palestine are going down is because there isn't enough people to kill.
Read that again.
The genocide is still happening. The cruelty and inhumanity is still happening.
It is time we stop treating them as such.
