I should have seen it coming.

Most people posting on the internet are even too ignorant to google a single name or word beforehand.

They don´t care if they are spreading misinformation.

They just want to force their opinion on other people no matter what.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.

He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.

Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the US. Remember: all of the organizing and outreach we did was not in vain. We carry the knowledge and experience we gained within us, and we will put it to good use in the months and years to come. 💕

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin?

Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps.

Classic move: authoritarianism is about undoing checks and regulations that prevent elites' ability to plunder societies and treat people as assets to exploit.
Elon Musk called Wednesday for the elimination of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, one of the nation’s most powerful watchdog agencies, signaling it could be scrapped as part of a planned review of government spending ordered by President-elect Donald Trump.

Since not a day goes by without someone saying I’m “just another big account that doesn’t say what to do.” I’ll once again say what I think you can do.
1) 30 states have local/state elections starting in Feb. Get involved/run.
2) Join a special issue group like civil rights, abortion or immigrant

WOW! Democrat Adam Gray is currently leading Republican John Duarte in California’s 13th Congressional district by just 105 votes. If this stands, Democrats FLIP the seat. Don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter.
