"We're keeping America Safe!" Really? By going "Door to Door"? I have never felt less "safe" in my 62 years than I do right now. Financially, emotionally, legally, patriotically. This "New America"? Yeah, not working for me...

I wrote this a few weeks ago. His arrest means ICE now meets all five criteria for being a secret police force.

How ICE is becoming a secret police force under the Trump administration
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement meets most criteria that have defined secret police forces in authoritarian regimes. And the worst may be yet to come.

If the Democrats don’t make an absolute buffet out of this group chat national security scandal, primary each and every one of them. It’s literally on a silver platter.

From the American Psychological Association:
Logo for the America Psychological Association at the top and with shades of blue and white the quote reads, "There is extensive research that supports the complexity of sex and gender beyond binary classifications. The new restrictive definition of sex ignores decades of science, increasing harm to youth and families, while undermining critical mental health outcomes." APA CEP Dr. Arthur C. Evans Jr.

Many folks want to organize right now but aren’t sure how.

There are many ways; that’s the hard part AND the beauty of it.

This model by Leah Penniman, illustrated by Christine Tyler Hill, shows how comprehensive social change requires many strategies.

We need all of us.
Find your role and begin.
Four Wings Of Movement Collaboration - Leah Penniman A butterfly is drawn with four segments of its wings, each labeled RESIST, BUILD, REFORM, and HEAL. Within each winglet, examples are written, and they’re described in detail along the edges of the illustration. RESISTING oppression via direct action—think Occupy, protests, boycotts, marches, treesitting, etc. BUILDING new worlds and systems—think co-ops, community ownership models, land trusts, social networks, food hubs, organic farms, etc. REFORMING existing systems to shift power and resources—think holding elected office, advocacy, institutional leadership, etc. HEALING individual and collective trauma—think art and experience-making, storytelling, medicine-making, therapy, music, etc.

A few thoughts on Universal Basic Income.
I think UBI is great. It’s an acknowledgement that nobody else has the right to tell you what you can best contribute to the world, and it’s based on a certain faith — that people want to contribute something to the world, most people do. I’m sure there are a few people who would be parasites, but most people actually want to do something; they want to feel that they have contributed something to the society around them. The problem is that we have this gigantic apparatus that presumes to tell people who’s worthy, who’s not, what people should be doing, what they shouldn’t. They’re all about assessing value, but in fact, the whole system fell apart in 2008 because nobody really knows how to do it. We don’t really know how to assess the value of people’s work, of people’s contributions, of people themselves, and philosophically, that makes sense; there is no easy way to do it. So the best thing to do is just to say, alright, everyone go out and you decide for yourselves. . - David Graeber

The Nazgul of Tolkien are empty men promoted beyond their abilities by a dark lord who preys on their lust for power. The process devours them and leaves only a soulless husk behind. No reason, just thinking a lot about Tolkien lately.

I'm digging how this WWII guide is basically "gum up fascism by being an energy vampire." Let Colin Robinson be your guide in the fight against fascism. The link: www.404media.co/declassified...
From a WWII handbook on being a bad at job to roadblock fascism. Here's the text: “Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.” “Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.” “‘Misunderstand’ orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.” “In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that the important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers of poor machines.” “To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.” “Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.” “Multiply paperwork in plausible ways.” “Make mistakes in quantities of material when you are copying orders. Confuse similar names. Use wrong addresses.” “Work slowly. Think out ways to increase the number of movements necessary on your job” “Pretend that instructions are hard to understand, and ask to have them repeated more than once. Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.” “Snarl up administration in every possible way. Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over; make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.”

By the way: Land borders in Canada still accept a US drivers license together with a birth certificate or citizenship card for entry. You do not need a passport to enter Canada by land if you are an American citizen. You only need a passport when flying.

As long as people are wishing for things, I think a good step for the Canadian government to take would be to introduce some kind of policy of specially allowed entry and/or asylum for transgender U.S. citizens who are being denied passports and are therefore effectively trapped in the country

Also, remember that tariffs are an economic war on Americans as well. The average household will pay $800+ more per year. There will be hundreds of thousands of job losses and it will throw the US into a recession with all economists predicting the GDP will shrink.

All for tax cuts for billionaires

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Trump starts pointless trade war.

Canada threatens to retaliate by withholding electricity from the US.

Trump’s press sec says this is fine because Jesus didn’t have electricity.

Literally the dumbest possible timeline.
