Resisting the Rise: Why We Must Unite Against the Trump Agenda

The return of Donald Trump to the national stage marks more than a political comeback — it signals a calculated, dangerous assault on the values of democracy, equality, and justice. From sweeping anti-LGBTQ+ legislation to restrictions on reproductive rights, from book bans to the criminalization of dissent, we are witnessing the steady normalization of authoritarian tactics cloaked in populist rhetoric.

Resistance Rising 2025 was born out of necessity. This is not just a blog. It is a movement. A collective. A platform to amplify truth, expose corruption, and support the individuals and communities who are standing on the frontlines of the fight for America’s soul.


The Trump Agenda: Divide, Control, Erase

The current wave of far-right policymaking is not random — it is strategic. The Trump-aligned movement has centered its ideology on the following:

  • Undermining democratic institutions by attacking elections, the judiciary, and the press.
  • Criminalizing queer, trans, and nonbinary existence, especially in southern and midwestern states.
  • Stripping away reproductive autonomy, with the goal of establishing state-level control over people’s bodies.
  • Erasing history and education through book bans, whitewashed curriculums, and anti-CRT hysteria.
  • Stoking fear and violence by scapegoating immigrants, protestors, and marginalized groups.

This is not conservatism. This is extremism. And we must meet it with clarity, urgency, and unity.


Our Mission: Stand Up. Fight Back. Unite.

At Resistance Rising 2025, we are committed to:

  • Exposing the cruelty and corruption of Trump-aligned officials and their enablers.
  • Uplifting grassroots resistance, particularly from marginalized communities who are too often silenced or overlooked.
  • Providing resources and tools for organizing, advocacy, and education.
  • Creating a digital home for the resistance — where we don’t just complain, we mobilize.

“Queer Resistance in the South: Stories from the Frontlines”

In our latest piece, we turn our spotlight toward the courageous LGBTQ+ organizers working in hostile states like Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Mississippi. These individuals are not just surviving — they are fighting for visibility, dignity, and the right to exist.

From underground networks of support to courtroom battles against anti-trans laws, these stories reveal both the brutality of state-led discrimination and the resilience of those who resist it.

This post is more than a feature. It’s a reminder that the queer community has always been at the forefront of liberation movements — and their fight is our fight.


What You Can Do

  • Read and share our blog to help amplify suppressed voices.
  • Follow local organizers and contribute to mutual aid funds.
  • Challenge disinformation on social media and in your community.
  • Register, organize, and vote — at every level.
  • Support national coalitions fighting back in the courts, in Congress, and in the streets.

We are the majority. We are diverse. We are loud. And we are done being polite about our survival.
