It's Safer in the Front Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

Do not wait to take action until ICE has filled the concentration camps with immigrants.

It will be too late thenβ€”they will be free to focus all of their forces on you.

Do not tell yourself that if you just keep your head down, they'll ignore you.

This is war. Fight now while you still can. 🏴

The way progressive White folks keep ignoring that most Black folks lived under authoritarianism HERE from the early 1500s to the 1970s in parts of this country & instead reach to Germany to describe our current situation is deepβ€”

Do y’all not know the Nazis modeled their system on Jim Crow HERE?

There's no sum of money that will keep you safe from Trump Corporations are learning this the hard way.

New in PN: There's no sum of money that will keep you safe from Trump

"The nature of a protection racket is that it doesn’t actually keep one safe. The cost to comply can always go up. The nature of what constitutes compliance can always be changed. And once you agree to pay, you can’t really stop"

Oh my god. They deported a man who an immigration judge had declared was "more likely than not" to face persecution in El Salvador ... to El Salvador, during the big March 15 AEA flights!

They outright admit it! Yet the Trump admin's response to a court is basically "oops, well, no take backsies."

Am I wrong that my brain is drawing parallels between VW and the rise of Hitler's war machine, and Elon, Tesla, and the current political climate?

This happens to me pretty often, and usually with nonsense results, but once in a while it just clicks and I've got an instant banger for just my brain. Maybe it's something us musical-type people do?

One can also start really taking stock of the honest value of social media in your life. Delete accounts accordingly. Especially when they might start being used for not just loyalty purges, but for an easy mass surveillance system.

EFF has a great set of guides to this:
