@bryan That's fantastic. Keep sharing your progress. I think the more we talk about it and share our steps taken the more we can help one another. Just as they "gameify" their shit to keep is using it, we should gameify our progress in getting off out of their nightmarish profit machines.

While I no longer have kids in school, living in Arizona, I find the voucher system troubling. I made my voice heard on the issue because I could see the way this was going to take money away from public schools. I don't care if parents want their kids to go to a "religious" school of any kind, but public funds should not be used to support it, the PARENTS should be underwriting that cost, not tax payers that may believe something different! #resist#NoVouchers

"Did you not realize what this would be, being fcking Gestapo, being Nazis? You didn't realize what this would be like. You should quit! Quit now, quit! Now, you Nazi fck. Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming. Every day, anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in Kansas.

As ICE and HSI raided two El Toro Loco locations in Lenexa and Kansas City, Kansas on Wednesday, rapid responders mobilized to both locations. In Lenexa, they chased HSI out of the restaurant, documenting on video the agents’ faces, vehicles, failure to show a warrant, and more.

The video shows that the public is more powerful than the Gestapo.

As they say: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

These people are like the heroes before WWII who protected Jews.

No violence is needed, just showing that the people of the USA do not let people silently be taken from the streets is enough. The arrogant people from Gestapo head Miller will leave.

Don't let the USA become Russia.

Leftist, anti-fascist activists have got to begin making more of an effort to educate themselves about the spyware capitalist tech that they insist on continuing to use. From Substack, gmail, twitter, facebook to youtube, etc. At least make the effort to use and encourage others to use the alternatives. Make an active effort to migrate away from the spyware to the free/libre alternatives that respect users, privacy and democracy. It's an UPGRADE.

"Activists are often targets. Authorities and adversaries have long monitored activist movements. In the 1960s, for example, the FBI’s COINTELPRO program even spied on civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., bugging his phones and tracking his activities.

Fast forward to today: law enforcement agencies monitor social media and online communications of protesters. In 2020, the D.C. Metropolitan Police and federal...

Additional thoughts this morning as I continue an email thread with an activist/journalist friend who is in the process of pulling out of gmail now...

Activists/journalists that are still using gmail and iCloud are fucking negligent. Get your head out of your asses. If you really think Trump 2.0 is fascism and you keep using US based cloud and email, you're fucking negligent. Make a fucking effort to get off of that shit now.
