One of the brilliant things our current iteration of oligarchs did is get people to conceive of free speech as being able to call your coworkers slurs rather than using it to say stuff like why are my tax dollars subsidizing your billionaire ass

If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

Of course it didn’t make a dent but I can say for sure that my family has spent around $500 elsewhere since Target capitulated to the administration’s anti-diversity push. Happy to see we weren’t alone.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

Emil Bove can file it himself. It would demonstrate, in a humiliating fashion, how isolated the top echelon of DOJ is from its working attorneys and how radically their policies depart from the department’s traditions. But he could do it.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

I concede that on one level the ‘Gulf of America’ idiocy is just a toddler screaming in his sandbox. On another, I wrote a novel 35 years ago, TIGANA, about how tyrants erase (or try to) names, history, art to consolidate their control of people. So, it matters. Symbols do. So does acquiescence.

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.

The media platforms that should be calling out this authoritarian takeover are owned by the wealth class carrying out the takeover. Their main intent is to normalize the situation for white, middle class liberals while communicating a fear of resistance and undermining any critique of power.

a key piece of all this as we try to push back and survive: make them make you. MAKE. THEM. MAKE. YOU. Make their lives hard and annoying. Refuse to comply with vague and unconstitutional and obviously hateful orders. Make them expend energy and resources on making you. Make them make you.
