Amor Fati

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

I hear you.
I see you.
I care.

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

THREAD: Elon & Trump’s NOAA layoffs means fewer weather balloons, meteorologists, tracking available to monitor level 5 tornadoes heading to the Midwest & Southeast. 100M ppl will be at risk w/ fewer resources to stay safe.
Please share this thread w/ anyone in the storm’s path:

It's not just Trump who has decimated your standing in the world, America. You have an entire political party going along with it, and the other doing nothing to stop it. You have media normalizing it, institutions obeying in advance, and a tiny fraction of the people fighting.

A vast majority of people are paralyzed just watching the news day after day. You aren’t supposed to spectate reality or your own collapse; you are supposed to participate. For anyone reading this, help those around you break free. #3E

The 'Threat to Democracy' Is Over It's time to admit that the fascism we feared is already here.

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE.
And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.”

@michaelharriot.bsky.social explains

“Serving students well is an act of critical resistance. It is political. And therefore it will not yield the normal rewards provided when we are simply perpetuating the status quo.” -bell hooks, Teaching Community, 2003

It’s like Covid where the minority are raising the alarm. The rest are frozen, in active denial calling us crazy, or supporting it.

I understand why you feel that way. It's maddening that more people aren't waking up. I'm encouraged that my town and University are doubling down (and receiving death threats but still resisting). There are groups that are trying and working on it. We hate him here in MA.

@altnih4science.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @altnoaa.bsky.social @altcdc.altgov.info @sonsofliberty.bsky.social

MA and other deep blue states will back our Canadian neighbors -we're NOT a monolith. We're fed up with loser Democrats who are doing NOTHING about this, with too few exceptions. Resistance groups like Alt CDC, Alt Nat Parks (main nexxus of federal resistance), Alt Dept of Ed, Sons of Liberty...

It’s a new verb, right? My boss wanted me to keep my mouth shut about how budget cuts impacted my salary, but I zelenskied instead.

Less doom, more anger.

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

The Incredible Disappearing Republican Lawmaker The GOP's total withdrawal from governing is nearly complete, and they’re increasingly determined to push the entire legislative branch into functional irrelevance.

1. Introduction to Martial Law What is Martial Law? Martial law is the temporary imposition of direct military control over civil functions or the suspension of civil law. Governments may declare martial law during emergencies such as natural disasters, war, or civil unrest. However, misuse of martial law can undermine democratic rights and civil liberties. Legal Foundations of Martial Law: In many countries, martial law can only be declared under specific conditions and often requires approval from the legislative branch. In the United States, for example, the Posse Comitatus Act limits the use of federal military personnel in enforcing domestic policies. Potential Misuses of Martial Law: Throughout history, martial law has been misused to consolidate power, suppress dissent, and restrict civil freedoms. Citizens should be aware of their rights and prepared to respond to unlawful declarations of martial law. 2. Historical Examples of Martial Law - United States (1863): President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War. - Poland (1981): Martial law used to suppress political opposition, leading to mass protests. - Philippines (1972): Marcos declared martial law, leading to human rights abuses. - Myanmar (2021): Military coup imposed martial law, sparking international condemnation. - South Korea (2024): President Yoon declared martial law in response to escalating tensions.

3. Understanding False Flag Events A false flag event is an act committed to appear as though it was carried out by another party, often used to justify extreme government measures. Historical Examples: - Reichstag Fire (1933): Used by Nazi Germany to consolidate power. - Gulf of Tonkin Incident (1964): Led to increased U.S. involvement in Vietnam. 4. Citizen Response to Illegally Declared Martial Law Legal Actions: - Consult constitutional lawyers and civil rights groups. - File lawsuits to challenge unlawful orders. - Document human rights violations with time-stamped evidence. Community Organization: - Build local support networks for food, shelter, and information. - Establish safe meeting points and alternative evacuation routes. - Organize peaceful protests and advocacy campaigns.

5. Why Decentralized Networks Matter In times of crisis, especially under martial law or internet blackouts, centralized communication channels may be censored, monitored, or shut down. Decentralized networks allow for peer-to-peer communication, protecting privacy and ensuring information flow even when traditional channels are compromised. **Setting Up Now is Crucial:** - Pre-install decentralized apps and tools. - Familiarize yourself with offline communication methods. - Establish local communication groups using decentralized platforms. Recommended Platforms: - **Briar**: An app that uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, even without internet access. [Briar Website](https://briarproject.org) - **Mesh Networks**: Establish local networks that bypass centralized control. - **Serval Mesh**: Designed for disaster scenarios, allowing phones to communicate without infrastructure. [Serval Project) (https://www.servalproject.org) - **goTenna Mesh**: A popular off-grid communication tool using small devices that pair with smartphones. [goTenna Website](https://www.gotenna.com) - **TOR & VPNs**: Mask identity and evade government firewalls. - **The Onion Router (TOR)**: A highly secure browser that anonymizes internet activity. [TOR Project] (https://www.torproject.org) - **ProtonVPN**: A widely trusted VPN service with a strong commitment to privacy. [ProtonVPN](https://protonvpn.com) - **Mastodon**: A decentralized social media platform that allows users to communicate without centralized servers. [Mastodon Website](https://mastodon.social) - **Session**: A decentralized messaging app with end-to-end encryption. [Session Website](https://getsession.org)

6. Emergency Actions Checklist - Stockpile essential supplies (food, water, medicine). - Back up important documents and store in a secure location. - Establish encrypted communication channels with family and community. - Know your legal rights and how to contact civil liberties organizations. 7.

We’ve created a Citizen Guide to help you navigate extreme situations like Martial Law- not to alarm, but to inform. 🌐💡Again - not sounding an alarm, just informing.

Print it out or save it offline so you can access it anytime, even without the internet.

Yeah, you flabby piece of shit hole and you bring it to Boston and Boston will show you what the fuck is up

Just like Boston did to the fucking monarchy

We would not be a country if it wasn’t for fucking Boston

Threatening Boston and Philadelphia is how the last King lost.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

chart showing groups of opposition to Trump. Broad groups for lawsuits are Blue states, labour organisations, civil rights organisations, NGOs. Then there is a separate group for international rsponse and another one for non lawsuit response. A table of all actions is available here with any oppoistion highlighted: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LZN7QnbSyFfUZJG8Sn1MWpK0VnfBtb0OSyZ1jxP3xBk/edit?usp=sharing (worksheet "Actions with links")

🧵Who is opposing the Trump administration?

I analysed 76 actions of the administration since inauguration and then searched for *meaningful* opposition to each.

I grouped the types of opposition and considered what we can learn from both them & actions where opposition has been lacking 1/24

From @realclevejones.bsky.social. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing: "The Resistance is weak, disorganized & rudderless. And it shows - with scattered protests called by anonymous individuals, incoherent messaging & little media coverage. People are confused & uncertain & desperate for direction."

I am actively looking for brands who support or work with chronically ill/disabled individuals

Feel free to tag any brands you know, or reply below if you yourself are a brand and would like to connect 🥰

Surprisingly, CDC updated Covid genomic surveillance today.
The LP8.1 variant is rising, now accounting for about 1/3rd of new cases. The lack of any substantial increase in Covid for months is, in part, attributable to only nominal changes in the #SARS-CoV-2 spike variants. So far.......

Hey, Dems in Congress, the reason we keep calling & asking you to do more is b/c we need you to do more. From our POV it looks like there’s no strategy & we elected you to represent us. If there’s something you need us to do, tell us & we’ll help but whatever you’re doing now isn’t working.
