We will have to figure out ways to take care of each other now, [View all]
because our federal government sure as hell won't do it - in fact, the lives of many people will be made much worse. So it will fall upon our own domestic NGOs - charities, some liberal churches and other faith and civic organizations, and whatever we as individuals can do to protect the people most likely to be harmed. Some states are already safe places - at least for now - for reproductive health care and the protection of trans people. Minnesota now has a Dem majority in the state senate and might pick up one more state house seat, and Tim Walz will still be our governor. We also have two Democratic senators. For now, at least, it might be a safe place to live, but if Trump and Vance try to bigfoot what states do, who knows what will happen. In the meantime, if you're in a red state that just got worse, you can come here for help, and you can help us keep our state safe.
In those states that are already bad places for some people - women and LGBTQ people especially - we will have to organize and find ways to protect and help those who need it.
