Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:
1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror
2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war
3). The single best way you can resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you constantly. Protect your mental health to ensure you are not constantly in a terrorized state
4). Keep connecting to who you are at your core. Your values, preferences, ethics, and beliefs. Build up capacity to resist
5). Remember they are like abusive parents: they only see us extensions of them. They have no clue how powerful joy and community and self-expression can be. We can use this to our advantage — we can be the strong-willed child they never saw coming.
Spending time connecting to your true self is not selfish in these times — it’s intricately connected to a resistance movement that is tied to honoring our bodies, our communities, and to the land. We have to build capacity to resist by being exactly who we are!

They also published Noem’s “opinion” piece. NYT has abdicated from journalism.

I’m pretty sure this is the area of PCH below the Palisades fire, and I would be very surprised if this was actually footage today. Let’s share valid info.

Apparently, California will be the national flashpoint. Probably because it's the wealthiest state, and the most vocally anti-TACO. For those committed to peaceful protest, PLEASE practice de-escalation techniques, like this one. Film EVERYTHING.
Share this widely with your groups, and be careful!!

White House aide calls Los Angeles anti-ICE protests an 'insurrection'
Senior White House aide Stephen Miller on Saturday condemned protests in downtown Los Angeles against federal immigration raids as an "insurrection" against the United States.
President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.
The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.

It’s a sad and deeply disturbing day in this country. We’ve seen moments like this far too often, including attacks against providers, advocates, and patients, both on the news or in our own backyards.
We’re fighting back. But we shouldn’t have to do it under threat of violence.

#oregon Submit testimony today opposing SB210, a measure that seeks to make in-person voting the default and require government ID to vote AND to request a ballot. Sen David Brock Smith of Port Orford is the sponsor of this and a number of other offensive suggestions as well.

I got rid of my land line only when it became clear there were no real phone lines in my city anymore and everything is internet based…”land” lines are no longer an emergency backup plan in many places.
