There's been so many new laws passed across the US (and some other countries world wide as well), that makes it feel like even visiting another area is unsafe. I feel like I can't go anywhere without feeling like the entire state is out to get me.

I'm trying my best to push back against the hatred within my area and community. I do foresee myself needing to leave eventually, but we will see. I think it's likely parts of my state will essentially break off if things go off the wall hard enough though.

Can I, as a foreigner help pushing back?

[-] gabuwu@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

It honestly depends. Mainly spreading awareness and boosting movements that are pushing back definitely help. Being at least conscious to a degree of what's happening is a step in the right direction.
