These days, it's probably a good idea for anyone to keep their eyes open for opportunities to practice against the regime or otherwise interfere.

In the meantime, I think waking up more people is crucial & algorithmic bubbles prevents the internet from being useful for this, currently.

Instead, I have talked about things like:

  1. Putting antifa books, zines and propaganda in Little Free Libraries. My personal favorite is "On Tyranny"

  2. Putting up flyers and zines up in public locations, community boards, power poles, etc.

  3. Use to make it more difficult to remove

  1. Use any non-Big Tech online spaces that you can, to your advantage. Message boards and long-standing online communities

  2. Make multiple points of contact with online friends and allies. Use encrypted chat whenever possible.

  3. Build local resilience in your community whenever possible

  4. Never forget that World War III is a guerilla information war with NO division between military and civilian participation

Look to help the helpers.

This is well beyond Trump.

This is a kitchen sink wet dream of U.S. oligarchs who have been scheming for its passage for decades. It's a transformation of American society, democracy, economy, etc., and not for the better.

Then they're planning on letting the play the role of Kapo in the new

So...fun times. What are you doing to prepare?

It's the calm before the storm, isn't it?

I'm excited to have a Friday night off for a date night, but it's a little clouded by including plans to go look at survival gear, shotguns, and such.

You know, in case really kicks the into high gear tomorrow.

@RamenCatholic That’s a pretty thorough list!

In fact, it's definitely too much to carry or fit in a regula backpack. I would consider separating it into a car bag and pair down to the barest of essentials in a backpack that you could actually carry on foot, if necessary.

Obviously, I'm thinking about this today, too, so I'll let you know if I think of something else.

12 gauge shotgun is the best home/personal defense weapon. Pump is ultimately more reliable, but if you don't have the muscle memory semi-auto would be preferable in a high-stress situation.

Thanks to @johnbrowntypebeats for reminding me of this gem.

Which reminds me of a good saying:

"I don't argue with people that John Brown would've shot."

And something I need to reread:

Who's going to join me in putting up as many flyers as possible today and tomorrow?

They have some great generic ones and some tailored for specific cities.

I have posted "Long Violent History" by Tyler Childers before, but apparently he's never played it live. Until 2 nights ago at the Hollywood Bowl in

It hit me hard before, but pulverized me today.

I've posted it to my page for easier sharing and posterity, but it should also be viewable in the post. 🤞

These times are too much for any thinking, feeling person to handle.

That's why RPGs are better with a party. :blobcatchristmasglowsticks:

Unfortunately IRL local & groups are tough to come by for a variety of reasons. One of my many goals is to encourage them whenever possible, but until then we have the Fediverse.

I wonder how many people reading this are lonely. Do you have more time on your hands than friends?

If so, are you willing to do 2 simple things? 1)Reply to this thread,then 2) find someone else who has replied and say hi 👋
