You’re not going to convince them antifa doesn’t exist but what you can do is make it a thousand times harder to demonize “antifa” by having every anti fascist embrace the label.

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

Anyone who thinks they shouldn’t is kidding themself about present political reality.

The thing about Catholicism is that since it takes like 100 years to make the most minor ideological change, it can suddenly seem a lot more woke if the Overton window elsewhere has been moving right.

FYI users can still use the website on safari ios, just pin it to your Home Screen and you’ve basically got an app.

Apple likely doesn’t care. Trump asked them to do it and they want his blessing so they did.

These are excuses sold to us to make us dependent on app stores. We can’t let two companies control tech development for the sake of “convenience“. time to use our brains again.

Because Microsoft and Alphabet always somehow find a way to be even worse?

This is not a defense of Apple but they’ve objectively been far more passive about fellating Trump than the other tech giants and evidently ashamed enough to keep it quiet.

Maintain forums, learn what you can, spread word how you can, find experts, learn how to spot a malicious actor. All things we’ve forsaken for “convenience“ and need to relearn.
