What we really need is a mass general strike. Billionaires created this mess - let their companies they love more than humanity suffer. #NoKings #GeneralStrike #FuckTrump #FuckFascism
ICE recruitment ads on #YouTube and #Spotify ???!! I already canceled my Spotify (vote with your wallet), and this next part makes me really sad but must be done: I am deleting ALL content I've ever made on my 3 YouTube channels.
I am NOT comfortable with my content funding this fascist bullshit.
Let others know, cancel Spotify and boycott YouTube.
Anyone can suggest me an alternative? #fediverse has its own version of YouTube, doesn't it? I will put all my content on there instead.
I'm pissed.

The more one learns about US history, the more clearly one sees that this is who we've always been. Trump and the MAGA movement are just the most recent outbreak of a disease that's plagued us from day 1.
I truly hope we make it through this iteration and, when we do, we (finally) demonstrate the resolve and fortitude to root out the underlying racism, sexism, xenophobia, and many other ills that allow authoritarianism to sprout over and over again.

Obren un expedient al magistrat Eloy Velasco per haver dit que Irene Montero donava lliçons “des del Mercadona” https://share.google/l26t2nNu3qvFfYKmp
Eloy de Velasco és un jutge ultra-nyordo de l'Audiència Nacional. Aquest jutge al 2011 es va aliar amb el sindicat nazi Manos Limpias per perseguir el 15-M. Son els culpables que es jutgés a 20 persones a Madrid (un era jo) pels fets d'Aturem el Parlament.
Per gentussa així tenim nostalgia de la ETA.

Don't underestimate the power of socioemotional damage against fascists—especially low-level ones.
Show your contempt for their choices/actions/affiliations early, loudly, and often.
Meme their mistakes.
Make fun of their symbols, uniforms, and tactics.
Make them look like the fucking bigot-clowns they are.
These guys (and a few gals) thrive on their cowboy Gravy Seal paramilitary cosplay identities. They want people to think they're tough and scary, but they're just fucking irrelevant cowards who peaked in highschool (if that) trying to exert control over others with their limp-dick energy because their mom didn't hug them enough and their dad was too busy drunk-texting Tucker Carlson's Only Fans line to play catch with them.

Four days ago, on my daily #FuckFascism stroll amid the gorgeous natural beauty of a progressive US city where cutesy-expensive homes have “Black Lives Matter,” “trans rights are human rights,” and “peace” signs on their front lawns, I walked by a house that has a basket of free chalk out front, urging passersby to write something. There on the sidewalk was “love is not the enemy,” which I’m still not sure I understand.
Three days ago, someone else had chalked “rest in piss Kirk,” perhaps gesturing toward a tangible enemy. Yet two days ago, the “RIP” had been nearly buffed clean from the concrete—with remnants of illegible letters left over.
One day ago—next to the untouched “love is not the enemy”—another person had written “Hate fascists, love your friends” on the sidewalk in two different colors. I took a photo and posted it to my “stories” here, kind of guessing that like my “stories,” this slogan would not last beyond 24 hours in light of the posi-liberal adornments on most homes.
Sure enough, today, as the christofascist regime’s gears are cranking overtime to make antifascism the enemy and disappear all dissent, an anonymous do-gooder had taken “direct action” to (try to) erase the “hate fascists” but leave “love your friends”—but apparently doesn’t love their real-life neighbors who still hold the old-fashioned view that fascists and fascism are bad. (Not to wax nostalgic, but I long for the days when you could go to a movie theater to see an entertaining action film about WWII, and the whole audience would cheer on the folks who were battling Nazis and delight when they vanquished fascism.)
Listen liberals: solidarity is our best weapon. It can look as simple as not buffing out antifascist slogans, or as hard(er) as emotionally, materially, and/or ethically loving your neighbors enough to protect and defend them from fascism—sticking by each other even if you’re discomforted (in which case, read rad books, say, or chat with anarchists instead).
“We are all antifascists” should be on the lips and embodied in the practices of everyone (who isn’t a fascist), or else you’ve implicitly chosen a side: the wrong, hateful, authoritarian, deadly one.
They are saying the quiet part out loud. They are fucking screaming it.
This isn't just some random pot stirrer, Loomer has the president's ear.
Listen to them. Believe then. Act accordingly.
