They call themselves "Chaos Incarnate", this edgelord and his virgin sacrifices. Will rebellion flare and The People send the horde back to the depths of their basements or will complacency destroy democracy?

The seer gazed into the fire, "If the Lilliputian-handed king imposed a great levy upon the iron chariots of the North, it is his own merchant giants, not the intended, who will collapse under the weight of his folly and greed."

My therapist told me to embrace my intrusive thoughts. Now, they wear my skin and call themselves "me."

@wired.com, cute article. But how about one with more bite? The #Superbowl Halftime show was symbolic of today's political climate and the rise of racism. It was cathartic, nuanced, and a big F you to white supremacy and Trump. Yet, people are missing the point.
Get on it.

My shadow stretched long and distorted in the flickering candlelight. It peeled itself from my feet and slithered into the darkness, leaving me alone, untethered. Hungry.

He picked her because she was frail, chaste, silent, and obedient.
She picked him because he was easy to fool.

The toddler king can issue his decrees and throw his tantrums, but he forgets that this nation was born from resistance. His childish attempts at tyranny are only fanning the flames of a rebellion he cannot comprehend, a spirit he cannot extinguish.

The red hats celebrated when the harvesters were banished for good, cheered as hunger ravaged their bodies, and wept with joy as famine spread its skeletal hand across the nation.
For what nourished them was not food, but the knowledge that those they despised most perished alongside them.
They seek to dumb intelligence, control the flow of information, to become the sole arbiters of truth.
But by blinding themselves, they lose all sense of the world outside their echo chamber. Yet, a vacuum is never left empty and rebellion inevitably fills the void.

They will try to strip us of our humanity, to reduce us to numbers, break us down. But in the depths of our despair, we must find a spark of connection, a shared humanity that transcends their labels and categories. That's when we find strength, resilience, and hope.

In a desperate attempts to appease the toddler king, they handed him an ancient land to consume, shattering the vow of "never again" that echoed from their own pages. Their self-preservation a justification for complicity.

The King believes himself a brilliant strategist, a master of courtly intrigue.
But every plot he hatches is a farce, every scheme a veil for the real power behind the throne.

Reminds me of The Three Little Pigs:
But, he huffed and he puffed and he blew the billionaire who bought him.
His portrait hung heavy with power and greed. But a single stone shattered the glass, every fragment reflecting faces rising in rebellion.

They fetishized her pain, her vulnerability, her brokenness.
She sharpened her edges, honed her pain into a weapon, and turned their gaze back on themselves.

🔘 If you are detained or see someone getting detained, get the agent's name, number, and any other identifying information. Get it on video if possible.
🔘 Contact the #ACLU or your local Immigrant/Migrant support orgs if you see someone's rights being violated.

You can also slow things up by asking lots of questions & being politely "nosy."
⭐️ Bonus info — It's legal to record immigration agents as long as you are not on government property or at a port of entry. If your train/bus gets boarded, pull your phone out and start videoing immediately
🔘 White citizens, you have a privilege that protects against retaliation from ICE making a scene. It's our DUTY to speak up, make sure everyone knows their rights. GET LOUD. YELL. YELL IN SPANISH IF YOU KNOW IT. LET PEOPLE KNOW THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY SHIT. THROW SAND IN THE GEARS OF WHITE SUPREMACY

🔘 Always say no to a search and let everyone know that they can and should refuse consent to a search.
🔘 They cannot search or arrest anyone without facts about that make it probable that they are committing, or committed, a violation of immigration law or federal law.
🔘 If you see anyone being held up by immigration, loudly ask if they are being detained & if they are free to go.
🔘 Immigration officers can't detain anyone w/out reasonable suspicion. An agent must have proof you are violating immigration law. If an agent detains you, ask why. They should tell you
There have been numerous reports that confronting the agents in this way has caused them to leave without verifying citizenship. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES. 🙌
02.02.2025 17:10 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0🔘 If you are on a train, bus, etc and ICE/CBP boards, stand up & loudly let everyone know that they have the right to remain silent or only answer questions in the presence of an attorney, no matter their citizenship or immigration status.
02.02.2025 17:10 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0🔘 The most important acts of resistance are the small ones. Make it difficult and uncomfortable for ICE agents to do their jobs. They are counting on citizens to turn a blind eye and allow them to deport undocumented citizens without challenge. Disabuse of that notion.

🔘 You always have the right to remain silent. You do not need to answer their questions.
🔘 WITH THAT SAID, IF YOU ARE A BORN CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP.
🔘 Border Patrol can verify citizenship within 100 miles of a border or "external boundary." This includes coastlines; NYC, Phili, NJ, and Florida are within the 100-mile zone
🔘 Border patrol can only ask brief questions about citizenship, and they cannot hold you for an extended time without cause.
