The fact that this wasn’t rejected wholesale, should scare the hell out of everyone. The Supreme Court and the Republicans are gearing up to rewrite the literal essence of America to suit their fascist whims.

We are at the “the courts are pinning the entirety of the judicial system on their hopes and dreams that the autocrat will not wholly destroy their power to consolidate his own” portion of the descent into open dictatorship and the construction of techno fascist totalitarian state

trans people are real, and the state is made up.

The Bill Gates Era of Climate Giving Has Ended Breakthrough Energy is winding down its policy and advocacy office, depriving the Inflation Reduction Act of a powerful defender.

Bill Gates has liquidated his climate policy and advocacy organization, laying off dozens of staff in Washington, Brussels, and elsewhere.

It’s another giant retrenchment for the billionaire, who had already slashed his climate grant budget last month. heatmap.news/climate/brea...

I think one of the most important things folks can learn to do going forward is “say no.”

Folks instinctively want to be helpful, to give information unnecessarily, to share.

Don’t be helpful to authoritarianism.

The FDA might not take H5N1 seriously but every Mask Bloc is stocking up on N95s.

SNAP might get cut off but Food Not Bombs will still be handing out food each week.

FEMA might get gutted but Mutual Aid Disaster Relief will still be mucking & gutting houses.

The cops might welcome fash to town, but antifa won't.

USAID is shut down, but @distributeaid.org is organizing our next shipments to Gaza and Lebanon.

ICE is starting raids, but @ufw.bsky.social is out there protecting migrant workers and No More Deaths is still doing water drops on the border.

A group of us made something heartfelt. Survive the Tyrant! is an RPG-style guide for surviving an authoritarian and oppressive state. Stay safe!

We Only Have Ourselves: The How-Tos and DOs and DON’Ts of Mutual Aid For all of humanity’s many, many flaws, one of our most redeeming characteristics as a species is an almost-universal desire to connect with one another. When terrible things happen and communities…

Mutual aid is not just a disaster response, it’s a way of caring for one another, building stronger communities, and preparing for whatever life may throw at us next. It’s a labor of love—and a way of life.

I put together a reading list (and words of advice) for LitHub: lithub.com/we-only-have...

As scary as this moment is it gives us an opportunity to build something better. Something that actually represents all people. Not just rich white christian men. We must imagine and build worlds that are better for all of us and put them in to action. We cannot cede the future to monsters.

invoking a “wartime military” to suspend civilian domestic law sounds a lot like the creation of a rightwing police state to me.

I think people need to understand that the moment these institutions were shuttered yesterday it was actually the end of those institutions. They are never coming back as long as Trump is in power. it would be smart to operate assuming at this moment the cdc, NIH, FDA no longer exist

Violent paramilitary forces commingling with government is a signal for society. It is a signal that attempts to kill your opposition are heroic and will be lauded. This is a pretext to violence and insurrection against those seen as the enemy. This is the stuff civil conflict is made of

Breaking News 5m ago The Trump administration said federal employees would face consequences if they failed to report colleagues pursuing D.E.l. efforts.

Actual authoritarian surveillance states are a mesh network of sorts. It is made up of agents at all levels from the state down to the micro interpersonal networks that permeate our lives. People are not at all experienced in survival in a true authoritarian information/survelliance state.

I’m going to say it again, generative AI and the push for it to be used in every Avenue of learning and education is because generative AI literally is a weapon for knowledge destruction not a knowledge creation tool and silicon valleys goal is to monetize and gate off all of human knowledge

good to see everyone figuring out why we said, teaching stem without the humanities was a massive mistake. Raising a generation of engineer brain sociopaths who see human suffering and anguish as something to be laughed at while they try and engineer ways around public good really isn’t going well.

Doing a coup attempt like j6 is not seen as an attack on democracy but shooting a wealthy white man who kills at an industrial scale with a pen is…

America is once again defining who gets to kill and who gets to be killed.

Or remind all those people what he thinks of them and what he stands for….

When Trump takes office again in 2025, the police departments that the Biden administration has funded and glorified will be at the forefront of imposing the fascist agenda.

This shows how complicit the Democrats are in creating the conditions for this country to become even more authoritarian.

One of the smallest acts of resistance you can do right now that will do very much to signal that you are on the side of reason and democracy is where a mask. Start protecting yourself and others from the pandemic. it’s also a very subtle show of defiance and community.
