When "heavy dissent" happens in authoritarian countries (China, NK, et al., ) one of the first things that disappears is the Internet. I expect that will happen in this country in next 3.5 years. Yesterday, I met with a shadow group (what I'm calling them) that is working on the solution. P2P Mesh.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

By gerrymandering themselves into one-party (or nearly one-party) rule, red states are attempting to control blue, urban cities while stealing their representation in Congress.

One thing we can be guaranteed: the far right takes crisis events and weaponizes them to deny civil and human rights.
There will be a crackdown coming from this, and it will be bad.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
