If you know the fascist plan is to psychologically exhaust you with their bullshit, then don't pay so much attention to their bullshit.
@StillIRise1963
You should post that every day.
A very important reminder.
@StillIRise1963
That's why I'm here. Twitter, even cable TV were too full of the BS to further tolerate.
@StillIRise1963 To me, it seems like the plan is to exhaust the legal system with their bullshit. There’s only so much time and resources to process all of this. The same goes for the EPA, IRS, etc. They just couldn’t defund the judicial system like they could the rest.

@StillIRise1963

PREACH!! SO much of what passes for “News” is fascist bs.
It WAS exhausting when trump was in office because he was in a position to act on it.
Now I see him as a raving old guy with a dwindling following. Why bother?

@bronakins @StillIRise1963 I generally agree but this is soap opera. Didn't watch any news for decades until Trump/Brexshit. At the height I was watching way too much. Now I'm just dipping in to catch up with the latest indictment. It's fun watching Nazis being terrified.

@sentient_water @StillIRise1963

I don’t watch much “news” on tv. Also, I like to do my own reading of the indictments & some of the other legal docs before seeing what others say. I also heave a few accounts here that I trust for non-hyped analysis.

@bronakins @StillIRise1963 Respect. I rely on a few reliable legal minds to digest the indictments.

@sentient_water @StillIRise1963

Yup! @Teri_Kanefield @emptywheel
are two of my favs. Who are your go-tos?

@bronakins @StillIRise1963 @Teri_Kanefield @emptywheel Teri is excellent. I mainly use a couple of YouTube channels run by lawyers. The Midas Touch, Brian Tyler Cohen & Legal Eagle for some legal humour & quite in depth analysis.
@bronakins @StillIRise1963 @Teri_Kanefield @emptywheel I'm growing increasingly frustrated with the enshittification of YouTube though. It's becoming unusable.

@sentient_water

Yeah, wtf are they doing over there? Did Elon buy it & not tell anyone?

@bronakins They've probably given AI total control.

@sentient_water

Effin AI — were all those 40-year old scifi movies right about automation enslaving the humans that created it?

I saw yesterday that the Phillies are gonna start using facial recognition for admission to games. That could be fun given that facial recognition isn’t accurate for faces of POC.

@StillIRise1963 the Flood the Zone strategy
@StillIRise1963
It is not just the bullshit. Their is an amazing amount of stupidity and other forms of mental defects backing up that bullshit.
@StillIRise1963 It's definitely exhausting. Especially when we have to go through and pick out the real threats embedded inside all of that bullshit.
@StillIRise1963 'just ignore them' didn't work when it was bullies throwing rocks at your head in the playground, it doesn't really work as a plan against fascists either
@StillIRise1963 That’s become my go to strategy.

@StillIRise1963

I'm with you. It's taken me way too long to get here.

@StillIRise1963 TWW: The messenger is not the origin, look past and expose why they would deceive. Beware the overt deception repeated. *You nailed it. Sometimes I see this passage as a boxing metaphor ie: ‘Watch the body for the fakes.’ Stay stronger and regards to all. OWOP
@StillIRise1963 do thew know that that's the strategy or do they stumble into it by matter of course?
@StillIRise1963 im trying my best!
saw something earlier i forget what, and it irritated me, and I was going to rant about it. but then thought, no, trump wants me to rant about it and take the focus off the fact he tried to overthrow the government. thats the most important thing, not his stupid entitled lies, though the subsequent calls to violence caused by those lies is equally important as his attempt to overthrow the government as it's all one and the same.

@guiltmanager @StillIRise1963

This is an important point: when dealing with a sleight of hand artist, don't look at their eyes, don't listen to their voice, focus on what their hands are doing.

@StillIRise1963 I think I am done with holding my tongue while they try to divide us, impoverish us, exploit us, twist the truth into a kaleidoscope of lies and pour petrol on our already burning planet…I’m just going to call the fascists Fascists and leave it at that. No need to tie ourselves in knots about whether to use the word - the right wing political parties of both the US and UK are Fascists. Their words and actions define them.

@StillIRise1963 Yes! Ignoring their bullshit all you can, can go along way. Your attention feeds them, nourishes them.

There must be a line in the sand though, at the same time, and a steely willingness to stop ignoring and make a stand when necessary, for yourself and others.

@StillIRise1963 That's it. Solid strategy from the birdsite. If I had a troll in my comment, simply blocked it. And that was it. Neither he (!) nor his friends tried again.
