Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue:
1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance
2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion
3. Don't live post resistance meetings

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

Tim Wentworth, CEO of Walgreens, has the face of someone who poisons small children, embalms them, and dresses them in dolls' clothes.
I also have opinions on how he runs the only pharmacy my insurance allows me to use, but that seemed more relevant.

Easy resistance win: Switch from Google Maps or Apple Maps to Mapquest.
They still refer to the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name, and they even have a meme generator where you can name it whatever you want.

This is one reason we're mad at Democrats in Congress. They could—as Republicans have done for decades—gum up the works and make it harder to move the fascist agenda forward.
Instead they agree to make it easy.
With only a handful of exceptions, every Dem in Congress needs to go. Clean house.🧹

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Obviously it's unclear when or whether we'll have elections again, but if we get a real Presidential election in '28, I'm thinking that completing a full term in the Senate ought to be disqualifying for a candidate.

Great advice. There’s just that pesky risk of life in prison if this regime doesn’t last forever. Or if they decide to throw you under the bus for any reason. And every foreign intelligence service will definitely be targeting you already. Plus a small chance you might get torn apart by an angry mob

The Musk/Trump junta is exploiting an utterly deadly loophole in the American system:
Courts may rule against evil white men, but evil white men have figured out that no one is, thus far, willing to *lay hands* on them to enforce those orders.
We must end this loophole now.

Someone must enforce the court orders against these baby-soft-handed terrorists.
what we’re seeing is that the courts are willing to rule against the government on certain things but there’s no one to actually enforce it.

I will tell you what I expect from Democrats. If they do these things I will praise them to high heaven.
(1) Routine objections, even nonsense ones, in the Senate, and objecting to unanimous consent on *everything.* Grind the chamber to a halt. No progress on anything until Musk's goons are gone

these guys literally only know one move and not only is it a terrible move on its own terms, but in this specific case is wildly inadequate to the moment.
No one has tried this before, let's see how it plays out.
