Wow, y’all. Let’s talk about the FBI turning into #47’s Praetorian Guard. Now, I’m not fan of human walrus John #Bolton. He’s been a republican hawk for longer than I’ve been alive. He proudly supported the Vietnam war, but deferred his own deployment, leaving the rest of us with names on a black wall instead of fathers and brothers. He’s always been willing to throw poor people into battle as long as the elites were never bothered. I do not care for Bolton.

So part of me wants to giggle when the force of the State is turned against those who have harmed us. But I’m also an ethicist, and I recognize the very real danger in having a madman using the FBI to terrorize a citizen because the madman is upset about something the citizen said on #Fox.

Apropos of nothing really, have y’all ever read the #SimpleSabotageFieldManual by the CIA? It’s online. It’s a fun little jaunt through how America used to think people should deal with authoritarianism. Funny, that.

@MissConstrue I think there is even a bot here about the #simplesabotagefieldmanual.

This one #TheAntiAutocracyHandbook is also chefskiss https://zenodo.org/records/15696097

#Kiwix is also a very handy resource for offline #Wikipedia and other resources.
