Since the WH has confirmed that the Insurrection Act is on the table, it’s important to know what it is and what it does 🫠

🧵 From the makers of The Antifa EO and Bondi’s Memo comes a chilling new tale about what would happen if the President decided to turn the military into the police. 🎥 #TheInsurrectionAct #ELI5BSI
A vintage black CRT TV screen glows with red static and text reading “The Insurrection Act (1807 to 2025). Trigger Warning: Horror Movie Villains.” Blood-red smears frame the scene. Below, white text warns: “From the makers of The Antifa EO and Bondi’s Memo comes a chilling new tale about what happens when the President decides to turn the military into the police.” The whole image looks like a haunted VHS title screen.

The border doesn’t stop at the border. It devours people. Families are forced into the Darién Gap — a deadly rainforest between Colombia & Panama — because US. policy blocks safer paths.

A dystopian-themed Instagram-style graphic with a bleak, dusty background resembling a climate apocalypse wasteland. In the lower-left corner is a comic-style image of Lex Luthor, the classic supervillain, smirking while crushing a tiny Superman figure in his hand — symbolizing Energy Transfer Partners’ villainous corporate energy. To the right of the Lex Luthor image is the Energy Transfer logo. Below is a dilapidated, rusting car in a destroyed landscape, reinforcing the consequences of anti-environmental policy. The top half of the graphic features a bold black box with the following text: ENERGY TRANSFER PARTNERS: Destroying the planet and your Medicaid!

To the right, a smug cartoon version of Mr. Burns stands in front of a government building, fingers steepled in classic evil fashion. On the left side is a black box with the following text: 💀 Co-signing a bill that kicks 1.4M seniors off health care. 🍺 Because nothing pairs with beer like avoidable death. Beneath that: “Advance Beverage is doing their best Mr. Burns impression, funding a bill that’ll leave millions uninsured and seniors out in the cold. $18K says ‘let the peasants suffer.’” Then in bold: Want to roast them? ☎️ (661) 833-3783 Footer text includes social handles and site info: URL eli5bsi.com | IG & Threads @eli5bsi | Bsky @eli5bsi.bsky.social The overall aesthetic is cartoonish, irreverent, and sharply critical of corporate influence on deadly healthcare policy.

General Atomics makes drones AND now bankrolls healthcare cuts so brutal they’d make Skynet blush.

27% of nursing homes are at risk.

Defunding care isn’t “defense.” It’s a disgrace.

A small red Skynet logo is below. On the right is a black box with white and bold text, under the General Atomics corporate logo. The headline reads: “GENERAL ATOMICS: BUILDING DRONES & TARGETING NURSING HOMES.” Text below reads: “You trusted them to build drones, and now they’re funding healthcare cuts so aggressive they’d make Skynet blush. 27% of nursing homes could shut down thanks to General Atomics’ $19K donation.” Final line in bold white text says: “Let them know that defunding nursing homes isn’t ‘defense,’ it’s disgrace.” A red phone emoji is followed by the phone number: (858) 455–3000. Bottom footer includes website and social links: “URL eli5bsi.com | IG & Threads @eli5bsi | Bsky @eli5bsi.bsky.social” The overall vibe is urgent, darkly humorous, and anti-corporate.

US bombs Iran.
No Congress. No debate.

Every “war power” fuels the border & surveillance industry.

Drones. Biometrics. Profit.

The war on terror didn’t end, it just pivoted. 📡

Graphic with a dark transparent overlay on a zoomed-in map of the Middle East, showing Iran prominently, with a red pushpin marking its location.

They call it “national security” and expand:     •    Drones     •    Border tech     •    Biometrics     •    Private contractors     •    Permanent surveillance The war on terror never ended. It just mutated. At the top center is the ELI5 BSI logo in black, magenta, and teal. At the bottom of the graphic, smaller white text reads: “MORE ACCESSIBLE CONTENT AT ELI5BSI.COM.” The graphic’s design uses ELI5 BSI’s minimalist, bold, tech-dystopia aesthetic with high contrast and clean sans-serif font, creating a serious tone that emphasizes the connection between war powers and growing surveillance.

Incognito Mode = cosplay for privacy.
Google logs. ICE buys. NSA watches.
You’re not hiding, just wearing a trench coat in Times Square.

Inspired by Repression in the Digital Age by Anita Gohdes.

#CyberColonialism #ELI5BSI
A neon-green, cyberpunk-style digital illustration depicts a hooded figure typing at a computer in a Guy Fawkes mask. The main monitor displays green code and a stylized terminal with Python-like script that reads: print("Me: Uses Incognito Mode") print("The Government: LOL") Behind the figure, a massive surveillance interface shows glowing data streams, government logos, masked agents, and shadowy men in suits wearing sunglasses. At the top of the screen is the ominous message: “Incognito Mode Won’t Save You From Google, ICE, or the NSA.” Social handles for @eli5bsi and @eli5bsi.bsky.social appear prominently on the interface. The aesthetic evokes state surveillance, digital policing, and the illusion of online privacy. The image critiques the false sense of security provided by private browsing.

Borders glitch when there’s oil or land to steal, but they stay “real” when people need safety.

They’re imaginary lines enforced by violence, redrawn for power, not protection.

Inspired by Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future by Candace Fujikane.

#ELI5BSI #AbolishBorders
This is a digital graphic simulating a distorted surveillance interface titled “GEOMANCY REAL-TIME BORDER CHANGE DETECTION SYSTEM.” The central visual is a grayscale world map with heavy glitch effects in magenta, teal, and white, evoking a sense of instability and digital interference. The continents appear warped and fragmented, as if the landmasses are shifting in real time. Above the map, a bold magenta header bar contains the system name in white, pixelated text. At the bottom of the image, a dark horizontal terminal bar displays text in a typewriter-style font: “If borders are real, why do they keep moving? Colonial land grabs, resource extraction, and gerrymandering say hi.” The message is a critique of the artificial and manipulative nature of borders. Below that are social media handles in bright magenta: @eli5bsi (Instagram) and @eli5bsi.bsky.social (Bluesky), framed in a retro-computer style footer. The entire image is overlaid on a blue grid background reminiscent of digital topography or blueprint paper, reinforcing the tech-meets-cartography aesthetic.

“Oh, so NOW you care about borders?”
– Settler states when it’s time to keep people out, but not when they invade & steal land
#NoBorders #AbolishICE #EndSettlerColonialism #Decolonize #Indigenize
A digital graphic features bold, capitalized text at the top reading, “OH, SO NOW YOU CARE ABOUT BORDERS?” with the word “NOW” in red for emphasis. The background is an old-world map in sepia tones. Below, two contrasting statements are displayed on scroll-like banners: “WHEN YOU INVADE & COLONIZE: ✅” followed by a scroll containing the text “Borders don’t matter.” “WHEN PEOPLE FLEE WAR THAT YOU STARTED: ❌” followed by a scroll containing the text “Borders are sacred.” At the bottom, the handle @ELI5BSI is displayed in gold text. The design critiques the hypocrisy of powerful nations disregarding borders when invading but enforcing them strictly when refugees seek safety.
