I would like to say a word or two about what the NYT did (or did not) do on the front page of the Sunday April 6 edition. Putting together a physical, printed newspaper is more complex than simply posting something on the internet.

If the fascists are tech overlords, then our resistance must be fueled by abstaining from consumerism & technology.
We must collectively stop empowering them with our eyes, our minds, & our dollars.
