"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."
"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Opinion | I’m not the grammar police. But writing well is an act of resistance.

"What makes the Canada 2025 boycott [against the USA] unique is that no one organized it. There are no leaders. There is no strategic team looking to use it as a negotiating tool. This resistance campaign has sprung from the determination of ordinary people to resist tyranny."
The use of the boycott has a long and powerful tradition of taking on tyranny. The grassroots Canadian boycott against Trump is having a serious effect.

To prevent online brain poisoning you should have to have some human interaction before you're allowed to post. If you quote a twitter screenshot you have to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor. For every 10K followers you have to explain yourself to a classroom of middle schoolers.
