Let’s support shoestring who says they are paywall free!

@theshoestring.bsky.social is paywall free and just published a piece I wrote which is in some ways the culmination of 27 separate records request appeals filed over the course of a year. (opinions expressed here exclusively my own) theshoestring.org/2025/04/05/f...

A general strike is in order. Money is all they understand.

@generalstrikeus.bsky.social is on it but we need more people!

I often think of the pan-European General Strike that did not happen. Jean Jaurès was murdered by the fascist Villain on the eve of war in 1914. Had he succeeded with Keir Hardie in Britain, France and Germany, world war would surely have been averted, millions of lives saved.

I’m not using my PTO but I will not be working, if you catch my drift

Also, a continual boycott of everything but groceries.

One step at a time. Today was a big step closer.

We need protests that are five times as big in the next few weeks to get serious.

There's literally nothing anyone external can do to Trump and Musk that would impact their finances meaningfully.

Trump can get anything he wants without money.

Even if Musk lost $300B, he's still a billionaire.

You'll hurt common people the most, and turn them against you.

Modern world needs a different approach to turn their followers against them, not help them keep them by being able to blame you.

I think so too.

Exactly- I can protest till the cows come home. Unless, it impacts them directly in the Wallet. They don’t give a shit about a protest!

What would really work is a mass global deactivation of meta.
