Poniewozik, NYT: « Maybe what Trump & his allies are doing is not precisely what Viktor Orban did to control media in Hungary, or Vladimir Putin in Russia, or Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey.…. But a media system in which comedians are forbidden from mocking the president’s faction by corporate fiat is not functionally freer than one in which they are forbidden by law. » #Kimmel #resist https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/arts/television/jimmy-kimmel.html?unlocked_article_code=1.nE8.qMt4.XhxJJkdRv28O&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

@pluralistic "many more of us are boeing to die" 💀
"Whether you're buying a glass bottle, sending something by sea-freight, taking vitamin C, getting an IV drip, watching pro wrestling, lacing up your athletic shoes, shopping for a mattress, seeing a movie, using social media, listening to music, reading a book, getting fitted for eyeglasses, or choosing a browser, you are trapped in a market totally dominated by five or fewer corporations – often just one corporation..." - @pluralistic

At a time when U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to exert expansive executive powers, a liberal U.S. Supreme Court justice stresses the need for Americans to know the difference between a president and a king. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/17/world/politics/trump-supreme-court-sotomayor-king/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #ussupremecourt #soniasotomayor #us #donaldtrump #republicans

Hope is punk rock.
Science is underground.
Positivity is counterculture.
Kindness is rebellion.
Empathy is radical.
Love is subversive.
Compassion is defiance.
Humanity is resistance.
Fighting back does not take grand gestures, but small moments.
So let your small moments be a revolution.

All four stop signs at the intersection of Chapel Hill and Morehead now say "STOP TRUMP" -- the new lettering having been very nicely spray-stencilled in. (Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get a photo.)
I would heartily approve any motion to use our City tax-dollars to expand this program.

@maxoakland I think anyone able should keep their eyes open for opportunities to practice #SimpleSabotage 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 #Wheatpaste to make it more difficult to remove
4) Use any non-Big Tech online spaces that you can, to your advantage. Message boards and long-standing online communities
5) Make multiple points of contact with online friends and allies. Use encrypted chat whenever possible.
6) Build local resilience in your community whenever possible
#ResilienceIsAnActOfResistance
7) Never forget that World War III is a guerilla information war with NO division between military and civilian participation
