Neo-Nazi sites have urged their readers to troll those upset about the election into suicide. Please don't fall for this. If you have friends who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts please make sure they know not to fall for this! Please reach out to those you know to make sure they're ok. This goes beyond political beliefs. Regardless of who you voted for please reach out to those who are upset and scared about the election and make sure they don't fall for this. Us trauma survivors need to care for each othe regardless of which party we're with. Thanks
 
That's really f*d up.

Delete posts on social media if this happens. Report them to Facebook or Twitter or whatever. Block them, create an email filter, and report them to your email provider. I'm not sure they would do anything. If you're up to it, make a note of their ID and keep it handy for reporting purposes.

We don't have to take it, we can fight back w/o engaging them.
 
"The IC3 accepts online Internet crime complaints from either the actual victim or from a third party to the complainant."

You can let the government agency know of these sites at the following website:

Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home


As well the FBI has a cybercrime unit. What they investigate can be found on this site which includes criminal activity:

What We Investigate — FBI

As there are many catfishing out there as this is vulnerable time for some, reaching out within your known boards that promote relative safety (such as ours) is certainly a strong consideration. But I understand this is my personal take.:)

Thank you @cat-lady for this thread of compassion.
 
I've noticed that a lot of the alt-right crowd seem to be dropping some really horrible policy proposals on the internet and TV. I think this is being done on purpose to instill fear among their opponents. You can tell because they often smile as they spew this stuff out. They enjoy making people afraid of them, they love seeing the fear it causes.

Just like we can't let our abusers determine how we live our life, we must not let these goons make us afraid. Obviously, we need to watch each other's backs because a lot of these creeps are taking actions on their own. The danger is real. So we must band together and watch each other's backs.

We'll fight back in our own way. Case in point, there are many, many women's marches being planned for Jan. 21. I'm a man but I might go myself.
