The ocean hums a whispered song, Through arching stone both fierce and strong. The waves embrace the rugged shore. A dance they’ve shared forevermore. The sky broods dark, yet light remains. As time erodes, yet love sustains. A fleeting world, yet carved in sand, Still held within the ocean’s hand.

If the fascists are tech overlords, then our resistance must be fueled by abstaining from consumerism & technology. We must collectively stop empowering them with our eyes, our minds, & our dollars. "I'm gonna tell you fascists, you may be surprised. People in this world are getting organized." 🎶

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Measles is surging, and the guy in charge of public health is RFK Jr.—an anti-vaxxer. Meanwhile, Trump is gutting the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Watch and share this. Know the symptoms. Because the people who should be protecting and informing us just got fired. (Video 🧵)

All we need is a thin wire loop strung across the entryway to a brothel and a spoon with some China White in it and I reckon we can snare ourselves a Secretary of Health and Human services.

We must resist, and we must be strategic in our methods. I'm pretty sure the dictator hopes to use our resistance as an excuse to impose martial law. How can we avoid stepping into this trap, or is there a better way to approach the problem? I'd love to hear your ideas.

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.
