In the style of ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. At the top a line of sitting judges are flanked by a "Save" icon and a code "Branch" symbol. Below them is a developer represented by a falcon with a human head sitting on a laptop. Below them is a scene from the Egyptian Book of the Dead: Anubis measures an icon of a crashed computer against a CPU RAM symbol. The bird headed Egyptian god of wisdom, Toth, is taking notes while the half crocodile, half lion, half hippo god Ammit looks at the scene, hungrily awaiting the judgement. In the style of ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. At the top a line of wailing women and praying men look on while the developer and his laptop are put in a trashcan icon. The gods Anubis and Osiris watch stoically. Below them is the half croc, half lion, half hippo god Ammit devours an icon depicting a crashed computer. He is surrounded by icons depicting alerts, bugs, and CPU errors all translated into hieroglyphics.

An illustration of diverse people with disabilities standing together in front of the universal accessibility symbol, which is a blue circle with a white figure inside. The group includes individuals with prosthetic limbs, mobility aids like wheelchairs and canes, and a guide dog. Below them, a quote by Muhammad Ali reads: 'Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare.' The website 'resistance-toolkit.com' is also displayed. Bold yellow and brown graphic with text warning that 'Museums are under attack.' It states that history will be altered, minorities will be excluded, and progress will be erased. A call to action emphasizes that 'Knowledge is a weapon—preserve it and use it.' The image features a stylized outline in yellow of two African American faces, one wearing a helmet and the other wearing a pilot's headgear and googles. The hashtag "Save Our History" is prominently displayed in blue. The bottom corner credits 'The Resistance Toolkit' with the website url: "resistance-toolkit.com". The classic Uncle Sam "I Want You" poster gets a modern twist. Uncle Sam points directly at you with the text written under him saying "I want you to fight the fascists." The poster has been vandalized with a speech bubble next to Sam's face saying "No Kings!" and the the very bottom scrawled in marker it says "Uncle Sam Approves This Message". A sticker has been affixed to the bottom right corner of the poster with the logo for The Resistance Toolkit.

For those planning to attend a protest on Saturday (4/5).

🥽 We've collected resources, tips, and guides on how to protest peacefully and safely! resistance-toolkit.com#protest

#resist #safety #rights #protest
An infographic titled "Protesting Safely". The illustration features three diverse protestors wearing protective face masks. The infographic includes six safety tips: (1) Wear protective clothing, such as solid-colored outfits, gloves, and items that cover identifying marks. (2) Carry a physical copy of emergency contacts. (3) Wear a face mask to protect against COVID-19 and flu. (4) Bring a backpack with essentials like water, snacks, cash, ID, and first aid. (5) Make a protest sign with a short, impactful slogan. (6) Avoid bringing valuables, weapons, or illegal substances. If you need to bring medicine keep them in their original bottles. Write your required dosages out on you arm with permanent marker.

📢 Urgent plea to #Smithsonian & all #Museum curators and employees:

🏺History will be lost and might not be able to be saved if we allow them to destroy it.

#SaveOurHistory #resist #censorship

The Nazi's declared modern art "degenerate art" on the grounds that such art was an "insult to German feeling", un-German, Jewish, or Communist in nature.

Trump is doing the same with our #history. We must #SaveOurHistory

For all of you #VideoGame fans. Do Musk and Trump's tweets sound familiar to you? It's no coincidence that they sound like Andrew Ryan from #Bioshock. He was based directly on their hero Ayn Rand!

#gamer #gamers #history #KnowYourEnemy
"What is the greatest lie ever created? Slavery? The Holocaust? Dictatorship? NO. It's... ALTRUISM." This is a quote from the video game Bioshock. You'd be forgiven if you thought it was from TRUMP or MUSK! There's a reason for that. At the top pictures of video game character Andrew Ryan and author Ayn Ryan are connected by a dotted arrow with a doodle of a heart. Below the pictures the text reads: “The Bioshock villain, Andrew Ryan, was inspired by Ayn Rand - a 20th Century author turned philosopher. Rand developed a philosophy called Objectivism and is often quoted by Conservatives.” Text at the top reads: “Objectivism, summary: Progress only happens when the individual puts their needs and happiness before anyone else’s.” Below are quotes from Ayn Rand’s books. "Money is the barometer of a society's virtue." from Atlas Shrugged. "If workers struggle for higher wages, this is hailed as "social gains', if businessmen struggle for higher profits, this is damned as 'selfish greed." from Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. "Greed' has been the accusation hurled at the rich by the concrete-bound illiterates who were unable to conceive of the source of wealth or of the motivation of those who produce it." from Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. At the top are two pictures. The first of Trump, Musk, and JD Vance pasted over Andrew Ryan. The second is of author Ayn Ryan. The two pictures are connected by a dotted arrow with a doodle of a heart. Below the pictures is text that reads “Key Takeaway: They truly believe, whole heartedly: GREED IS GOOD. Their gain is the ONLY thing that matters.”

A collage of various images reflecting social and political unrest in the United States. At the top, white text on a dark purple background reads: 'Trump Can Talk All He Wants, We Already Know The State of the Union,' with decorative stars on either side. Surrounding images include protesters holding signs, one reading 'Stop Firing Us.' People wear masks, and American flag hangs upside down from El Capitan. In another section, military personnel brings an immigrant in an orange jumpsuit to Guantanamo Bay. In the center, a ripped-paper effect reveals an image from CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), where a Elon Musk in a black cap and jacket enthusiastically holds a chainsaw.
