Hey, America

Here to help people understand, process, and survive fascism. Maintained by a former independent union president and forever punk that has probably spent waaaaay too much time studying fascism, its rise and fall, and how to navigate and survive the chaos.
Calls for pacifism in the face of authoritarianism are going to get people killed.
High-minded calls for peace from people thousands of miles away is as useless as those from people ten feet away, filming you getting your teeth kicked on their cell phones.
Defend yourselves. Defend others.

I fear what comes after peaceful protest is ignored.
14 days. Expect this administration to attempt to use the military and police on its own people. I promise you it is being discussed and planned.
This is the part you cannot prepare for. This is the part where the dynamics of real power decide.

There are bizarre results like this all over the US. County by county, state by state, the data bears out the same story: Vote manipulation happened, it happened to a startling degree, and it gave Trump and the oligarchs that own and run the systems the win. Your elections are illegitimate.

NY Election Results are bizarre and not accurate.
How is it possible that Kamala Harris received zero votes in a district that the Dem Senate candidate won by 80%
Thread on our lawsuit there.

It should be pointed out that there is no sensible reason to reduce the number of air traffic controllers, or individuals involved in transit safety.
DEI is just an excuse...so what's the real aim?
The fascists are inviting disaster, because they intend to use it. They need a Reichstag fire.

Fascists inevitably create concentration camps. They can't not. They have to have an 'other' to punish and blame to rally the bigots around. Migrants have always just been a convenient scapegoat.
Horrors are coming. Genocide is coming. Prepare yourselves.

The only 'Gulf of America' there will ever be is the financial gulf between the oligarchs and all the rest of us.

Why doesn't America protest?
We do. Frequently. In large numbers. But the media doesn't cover it unless we burn shit down and we're fifty countries in a trench coat.
When was the last time you heard about fifty countries burning shit down all at once?

Because of our electoral system, we've had this tendency to separate ourselves into two camps: Red v. Blue. Right v. Left. Republican v. Democrat.
Informative, in a general sense, but the lines will continue to blur into those who either directly or tacitly support fascism or those who fight.

Hey America: You're going to be hearing more and more about things like ballot stuffing, Russian tails, how audits /actually/ work, tabulation machines, software hacks, voting machine insecurity, R squared, and lots of data analytics of vote manipulation.
Keep an open mind.

The reason the fascists are suspending civil rights defense in the justice department is because they fully intend to violate American citizens civil rights with this deportation bullshit.
ICE should have been abolished ages ago.
If your rights aren't defended, then they're more like suggestions.

The most important part of surviving fascism is *surviving* it. We're conditioned to take for granted basic necessities. Food, water, shelter, the anonymity of being a regular face in a crowd.
Fascism is inherently disruptive to the acquisition and maintenance of these basic needs.
More later.

Hey, America. Something positive: Historically, fascism always fails. The inevitable yearning of the human spirit to be free and unfettered as possible always, always, pushes through. It takes time, and anger, and sadness, and effort...but we come through. Together and alone, we push through.

Hey America. Fear is a natural part of coming to terms living under fascism. Embrace it, it's being honest with you. It's telling you there is danger here, and you're not imagining it.
It digs into you a dark well. There, at the bottom, after you pass through the darkness of fear, is a seed. Rage.

Understand this: Americans are possibly *THE* most propagandized demographic in the world. This means you.
And I say this with full knowledge that China and Russia exist. Those populations are already near fully captured. Americans aren't, not yet.
But they are trying HARD to do so.

Rule #1: Believe your eyes and ears, but maintain skepticism for the words of others. You are not crazy. This is happening.
They will try to tell you it isn't.
