Appreciate innovative ideas and efforts.
I, for one, am fed-up of centralising technofascists and am thinking of new routes to organise. Wrote this, which is mostly questions, in the hope of finding some answers and a whole load of collaborators https://buttondown.com/justenoughinternet/archive/a-union-for-hopeful-technologists/

Trump’s first immigration raid to target 300 people in Chicago on Tuesday

Administration to send 100 to 200 officers to city on day two of new presidency, Wall Street Journal reports

The Guardian

If you want an example of how crime is a social construct, consider this.

Briana Boston said "delay defend depose" to an insurance corp—she owns 0 guns, was arrested, charged with terrorism, & had to pay $100K bond

Brad Spafford had multiple illegal guns, 150 bombs, lied to the FBI, advocated assassinating Kamala, is NOT charged with terrorism, and had to pay a $25K bond

Empty words are "terrorism" but actual illegal bombs & guns are "free speech." Incredible.

Check out this little free library inside of Humboldt Airport (ACV). Never seen one of these in an airport before, but makes sense. Take a book if you need one. Leave a book of you are finished.
Most of the time, when people say ‘SF is a failed city’ and refer to homeless people, they’re not critiquing the circumstances (housing, gentrification, cost of living, lack of shelter). They’re saying the state has failed to sufficiently put away poor people, so they don’t have to see them.

Check out the first episode of @thebeautifulidea, a brand new anarchist podcast featuring interviews and discussions on front-line struggles.

"On today’s show we feature our Behind the Barricades roundup of movement news, events, and updates, along with a look at the recent explosion following the shooting of a United Healthcare CEO in New York. We then speak with someone involved in a new campaign to support Stop Cop City defendants facing both RICO and domestic terrorism charges. Finally, we speak with a long-time anarchist to look back on the historic mobilization against the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999."

Donald Trump will need a police state to implement his agenda

It's going to get very ugly.

Mother Jones
A reminder to Trump. All dictators fall eventually, and when they do, people and history celebrate.
