"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

There aren't many things spookier than threats to election integrity. Thankfully, we have the warm light of truth to guide our way through the darkness.

I’m still pissed - and gutted.

The donor list for Trump’s White House ballroom felt overwhelming — like how do we even begin to protest this?

So I broke it down into small, doable actions. If you’re upset too, here’s how you can push back — even in 5-10 min chunks.

Remember when we were comparing ICE’s budget in the “Big Beautiful Bill” to other nations’ entire military budgets?

Well, Trump’s Nazi regime is using that funding to build their own army, and it’s not for deportations—it’s to incite fear and do whatever evil they must to remain in office forever.

one of the key aspects of fascism is the normalization of cruelty

Think about how numb everyone has to be for this type of thing to be remotely normal. Is this not a war crime?
The Trump administration doesn’t know if the people in this boat committed a crime

Didn’t arrest them

Never indicted them, conducted a trial, proved their guilt or-if they were actually convicted-argued over their sentence

No-they simply killed them

Then broadcast the murder on social media

“While most of the spending was on guns and armor, Legum reported that ICE had also purchased ‘guided missile warheads and explosive components.’ … It’s not immediately clear what part of a good-faith deportation operation would involve localized destruction and murder.”

They’re building an army.

This! Community is going to be key. We are stronger together, never forget that no matter how hard the fascists try to make us forget
Also, you’d be surprised how willing neighbors are to lend tools. This is a great time to join waste nothing groups or ask around if possible. We have six families in our two bocks that basically trade tools and other services
If you are trying to find workarounds for MAGA-owned hardware stores but are struggling to find decent alternatives where you live, try cutting back on non-essentials there. You may still need screws, a tree lopper, or a snow blower, but you don't need to buy their Halloween, Xmas, or other decor.

Ezra Levin: A hallmark of authoritarianism is it makes you feel like shit on a daily basis. That's what it does. And so in that environment, during this authoritarian breakthrough moment, celebrating success is an act of defiance.

Mass protests are only one tactic in use—they’re part of a wider effort to organize as many people as possible to take more strategic, coordinated, and targeted actions at pillars that hold up the regime.

It shows people they’re not alone and is a vital early step to building community resistance.
Writing up my thoughts on this into a long piece. The one thing that worries me is that large scale protests in competitive authoritarian regimes often precede authoritarian consolidation rather than a reversal of autocracy. Russia, Hungary, Turkey also saw large protests before backsliding further.
Can I ask, what did the No Kings protest actually accomplish? I mean, in real terms, what have these protests materially changed? I can't help but feel these one off protests are merely a heatsink for energy and anger rather than a path for meaningful change and disruption of the system.

IMHO, you can’t understand what’s happening to the US if u don’t know about the “network state” movement & its “parallel establishment” strategy, which includes building “parallel societies” (w/ their own physical territories) & “parallel institutions” in media, education, finance, science, etc. 1/

We forged so many connections and laid so much groundwork today. Don't let No Kings 2 be the extent of your engagement with resistance work. Let it be the first step. We're here to support you. It's us, the American People, that get to save us from tyranny. The future of this nation belongs to us.
I want people to also keep in mind the millions of conversations that also happened today. Spreading even more action, plans, connections, and resources to get more awareness and activity in motion.

The regime wants you to focus on their accounts & narrative, by engaging directly with them you are following their lead. They need the attention you give their trolling / posts to distract you from their actions.
