This is your recurring reminder that you shouldn’t say stuff on public social media that would look really bad if security forces printed it out and knocked on your door to discuss it at midnight.
If you believe, as I do, that we are entering very dangerous times, please start acting accordingly.

thank you so much for this!💙
REPOSTED AF!!
*i'm spreading the word...
“Can’t you guys take a joke?”
There are disabled activists who know too well how disastrous descent into violence would be.
So they propose sane & safe actions for us to do.
Eugenicist “resistance” is usually the *worst* path to follow.
That's your message. Guess what, you've already lost.
Hi Mike! (Feds are always named Mike) Hope the family is well!
The maintenance guy noticed some hardware lying about b/c I was in the middle of rebuilding my desktop pc, and reported us.
move. I’m slowly moving the few visible outdoor items I had… really only 2. Maybe 3. I have artistic crosses visible. Grey rock.
source: i have reported in dictatorships and have known a bunch of dissidents who got arrested for free speech
But once the jackbooted thugs start trying to round people up, there will be plenty of violent bloodshed. Just ask Brian Thompson.
If you really are *up to something* then gtfo anything online. Otherwise live your life and don’t be an asshole.

I was starting to think I hallucinated it. 🤣
I summoned it up!
Though I think there was ANOTHER dude that like made threats against like the IRS or something and the FBI showed up for him…
Not shocking if there’s more than one, TBH.
One of the hardest and most important distinctions to learn.
You can tell when someone/thing really sets me off when I say "Blech", "Ugh", "Good grief", or "Good Lord"...and sometimes just plain "Grrrrrr".
(and I don't see any good reasons to not just say: Criticism is fine, calling for people to get killed is obvs illegal - on top of being immoral).
Plenty of kids and adults have been charged for saying they were going to shoot up a school.
And yeah, I did report (as well as comment saying thats a shit things to be saying).
i am not going to judge anyone for how they react to assholes in power, but having lived in a declining democracy before, i think you are giving bad advice. you don't win by shutting up.
Right now, there is still a large difference between stuff that offends people in power (fine!) and genuinely potentially actionable stuff that will make law enforcement show up at your door at night.
SHUT
THE
FUCK
UP

Basic OPSEC.. not like we're saying everybody has to get Librem 5s and only use encrypted apps on somebody else's network or only speak in a blacked-out basement with all electronics a mile away.
And we haven't even breached one-time pads and steganography.
However far they get with the execution, Trump and Patel have made it pretty clear that this is gonna be the new red line.
isn’t the same as saying
“Somebody should…”
which is far short of saying
“I’d like to…”

It's still good advice, if I do say so myself. For everyone.
Have At Me!
Though I think that line might be eroded quickly … which is where I thought your post was looking.
The 2024 election portends trial and trauma for America and the world. Take all the time you need to process, grieve, and rage.
Then steel your spine and resolve to resist.
no one's saying you can't have a good time, but just use a crumb of sense sometimes???
You don’t want to be on the social graph of a “person of interest” either
And I’m not.😁
On one hand, yeah, probably smart.
On the other, I'm trans, my existence already feels like a crime.
I feel like if they want to, they'll twist anything I say anyways.
My thoughts are almost definitely affected by my distance from the situation... for now.
Think of prison 3 meals, a bed, free healthcare, internet access, library etc, so have no worries.
Probably not in the next 4 years though.
My son has already shelved his US PhD plans, for example.
Sing like you're in the shower
Post like it'll be read out in court
Never open the door for police. Ever.
If they have a warrant or exigent circumstances, they won’t knock anyway, they’ll just break the fucker down.
Or 26 and dumb
Or 36 and dumb
Instead of putting it in writing on the Internet, you should say it out loud with cameras rolling to a crowd of people voting for you.
Step 1: Post about it onto social media sites where I publicly ask for people to help me blow up shit!
...
Step 15: Try to figure out who the unreliable person in the chain was.
"Facebook has blocked this message for being a threat."
Same reason you see “grape” or 🍇.

it can get WORSE and more FREQUENT but it is not unprecedented
So its not really that hard
You have to remember, they hold us in contempt, and that means that they don’t believe we’re worthy of respect in any manner.
That's what the point of the thread is.
It means you have sacrificed yourself pointlessly by talking on the internet and doing nothing else, accomplishing nothing.
Sometimes a screenshot of what reporters publish is effective.

Is the "CEO season" bugs bunny meme too far?
Is "free Luigi too far?"
Some people honestly don't believe the FBI or CIA is watching us. The red scare and Nazi secret police is just a story to them.
I have never killed anyone, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction
So I think everyone agrees with you on that point. But I see a gap between saying "what's ok now might be taken as not ok in the future" + "there's no problem with statements that can get you into legal trouble *right now*"
-> I disagree with the later.
My context was that was leaning on the hyperbolic side of things to get the point across.
"Look really bad [..] knocked on your door to discuss it at midnight." is rather subjective I guess.
My take was - against background of a CEO's murder - that it referred to threats of violence.
Noone was calling to "be quiet". The point made (and I think its very valid) is that eg threatening to kill people is a valid reason for law enforcement to come knocking on your door.
