Gutting our agencies, antagonizing closest allies, promoting Russian agenda on Ukraine with Russian talking points, ceasing cyberoperations against Russia.

Trump is following a solid strategy: Не руби сук, на котором сидишь - Don't Cut the Branch you're Sitting On.

If you want to contrast Trump & Vance's treatment of Zelenskyy to what world leadership looks like, or you want to understand how the world outside the US sees what's happening in Ukraine, you should watch ALL of this:

Antagonizing other nations, dismantling agreements with US allies and gutting the agencies that would provide meaningful intelligence on domestic and foreign threats to the US isn't negligent, it isn't mean-spirited. It's a strategy.

Folks show their true nature when they think they have all the power.

Document it.
Every person proposing or supporting barbaric laws
Every supporter of abandoning the US' long time allies
Every elected Coup supporter.

Let those black marks follow them forever. Let them know they are seen.

This coup has nothing to do with party politics.

You will be asked by future generations how you responded in this moment while a coup was underway. In this age your apathy or action is recorded.

Take a stand, you're not alone: Learn how other countries have prevented dictatorships rising.

dogwhistle: coded language in political messaging to get support from a particular group without provoking opposition.

Like a Nazi Salute you say was "my heart goes out to you".

Or the repeated use of 14 flags as a twitter response

Try holding down Alt, typing 88 and letting go

Look those up.

Has someone with access yet gone into www.usaspending.gov and downloaded the complete database? Every one of DOGE's "Discoveries" should be in there already - we need to ensure it doesn't get taken down in an effort to make their "revelations" seem relevant.

"He who saves his Country does not violate any law" in the wake of the Jan 6th pardons, is a dog whistle for extremists to take action.

This wording is not about the presidency. It's a green light for the Neo-Sturmabteilung

ICE is contracting for an online monitor.

The hire will scan for past online activity, explicitly including social media, that speaks about ICE "negatively", then look for "signs of violence" including pictures of weapons, threatening language or "empathy with groups with violent tendencies"

Recognize that you're in a surveillance state. Look up Snowden and PRISM if you haven't yet.

Imagine the surveillance of PRISM with less checks and balances, Cambridge Analytica with AI.

Google has removed Pride and Black History Month from their Calendar App.

Consider which Collaborators have access to which pieces of your data. Chrome, Gmail, Google Calendar and other Google products are bad choice for any work to slow the roll of Fascism.

@naomiaklein.bsky.social : Just as a large enough wildfire creates the weather systems that support it, the current US situation is a self-feeding Shock Doctrine: the disaster actively created by the profiteers.

Since a key part is the confusion, where do people safely contribute to sensemaking?

Political actors exploit chaos to push through unpopular policies such as deregulation and privatization. This favors corporate interests while disadvantaging and disenfranchising citizens when they are too distracted and overwhelmed to respond effectively.

Remember from the first Trump regime: don't get distracted, tackle ALL of the illegal and immoral moves of the government. There's going to be a firehose of them. For every rescinded grant freeze, there's 10 dangerous acts, laws, or initiatives coming.

They need to all be documented and tackled.
January 29, 2025 at 7:07 PM
As illegal orders pour forth from the new administration, it's good to remember the precedent for "just following orders":

Nuremberg Principle I: Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefor and liable to punishment.

If you're serving the vulnerable make state surveillance harder:
- TOR is your browser, or Firefox w. a VPN like Mullvad or Proton
- Signal is your chat space
- Proton is your email (via TOR)
- Duck Duck Go is your search engine

Build webs of trust. People you know, and the people they know.

It's time to stop vocal pearl-clutching about the rise of fascism, and to quietly get to work.

Recognize:
- Checks and balances are being gutted.
- The new AI backed surveillance state makes PRISM look like Watergate. Get smart about how you organize.
- Choose: Making Noise or Making Change.
January 23, 2025 at 8:13 AM
Stop debating whether there might be a fascist problem in America. There is a fascist problem in America.

It's time to work on solutions.
This includes:
- Protecting the Vulnerable
- Monitoring executive orders & changes to laws
- Noticing which elements of project 2025 are being enacted and why
