I may be frustrated, angry even that all of the information necessary to see this coming, in addition to people in Gaza saying Harris was the choice (even in the horror they still paid attention), was plainly available, but there is absolutely no glee in what is coming for them, no joy, and we will be worse for it happening.
And it keeps us fighting the fights those above us want is to focus on.

Trump want employees to snitch on each other if anyone is caught doing "disguised DEIA," whatever that means.

Federal Government Bans DEIA—Requires Employees to Snitch On Each Other

Sharing a confidential memo sent to me by multiple Federal Employees, one that demonstrates how heavily this White House is leaning into fascism

Let's Address This with Qasim Rashid

Trump has signed hundreds of fascist EOs, raided migrants (including kids at schools & hospitals), wants federal employees to snitch on one another, cut off aid to Ukraine and other allied nations, enacted a Muslim Ban 2.0, repealed President Johnson’s EO on Affirmative Action in federal contracting, took us out of the Paris Climate Accords and the WHO, and promises worse.

Once seen, never unseen!

If there are news media out there who don't wanna say Elon Musk did a nazi salute and are twisting around it

Those are the news media that are the enablers of fascism

The last few weeks have really highlighted just how fragile corporate social media is, and just how beholden to political power it is. To build any sort of ground-up power we must continue to invest in decentralized alternatives that are resistant to intervention

Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy

The TikTok ban and Donald Trump's rise to power show how fragile our social media accounts are. We must normalize and invest in decentralized social media.
