DARVO style of gaslighting is way too common in society (USA).
Deny
Accuse
Reverse
Victim
Offender
The person denies that their actions caused you harm.
They then accuse you of harming them by making the claim OR claim that the behavior they did was actually you doing it (often despite you having visible proof that they did it.)
They then declare themself the victim of your behavior and thus they do not need to be held accountable, only you do.
It's insidious. And it's nasty gaslighting.

Can we make 4th of July a day of literally anything but USA?
* Make it a day to mourn those we lost to USA's past, current, and ongoing genocides.
* Ignore it and make it the day of napping
* Make it a piss off a fascist or punch a fascist day
* Make it a day to craft items to help others
* Make a vow to not shoot off fireworks that terrorize animals and can be triggering to those with PTSD and hearing sensitivity
* Make it a day of scaring away ICE
Anyway, be creative. Don't celebrate USA.

Lately, discourse on trans, race, disability, immigrant, and queer issues is exhausting. We lay out facts of what is happening and make calls for action, but I don't see solidarity actions or much fighting back.
I feel I'm yelling into the void, but not even the void is listening.
I watch as rights are stripped away from marginalized communities in USA, and barely anyone in USA speaks of it. Instead, we're caught up in a war of not-reality versus actual reality. It's disturbing to witness.

Please boycott JK Rowling. I do not have the health to listen to defenders of Potter on why they won't boycott. Take that somewhere else please.
For those boycotting, here are alternative worlds from authors who are supportive of marginalized people:

Please boycott JK Rowling and read way better novels by way better authors. Stop wasting energy on defending this franchise and join us in boycotting her so she has less money and visibility to destroy the lives of trans folks life me. If you need a better series to read and enjoy, let me know and I'll make a list.
