We can't pull licenses for death threats to homeless people, that provoked the murder of them, but we can for this? I don't know what the disconnect here is for people to not be terrified of this administration and the direction it is going, that they aren't becoming active in opposition. Oppose the politics, the businesses, the media, the communities and the people who support this. There will be no safe spaces from the violence of the state and it's allies. They must be disempowered before it gets to that point.

That's means voting in every election you are eligible to across all levels of government and for politicians who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it. That means taking actions that confirm the integrity of the democratic system and taking actions to make it known and work to make sure it is.

That means spending money only at businesses who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this are actively opposing it.

That means disengaging from media sources that provide content that supports this fascism, gives voice to those that do and that does not openly and actively impose it. They have crossed so many lines already that it should not even need to be said that it is already too far.

That means only engaging in communities that are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it.

That means only maintaining relationships with people who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it.

Doing this looks different for everyone and only individuals can figure out the details of moving their life towards resisting the fascist takeover of the American civilization, it is not just the government, it is the entire civilization.

If I asked what you are doing in your daily life to better oppose this shit, and you have no answer, then you failing yourself, your country and the future generations that will have to suffer under the boot of dictatorship. You are not alone in this, there are allies all around you, but we all need to start walking the direction we know we need to go to find each other on the path.

The best time to start was yesterday, the second best time is today.

We are fucking terrified. Please tell us what you're doing since apparently you're the only one who knows what to do

Frankly, hardly any of them deserve broadcast rights anymore. They sold out decades ago and it will never be enough. We need ferocious, independent, professional journalists, not billionaire minions.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 11 points 1 day ago

Yep, that's a fascism.

Threatens seems like a more appropriate word than floats.

Oh boy I hope this is what makes groceries, gas, and housing cheaper. So much winning everywhere!

You have better ideas on how to advance a fascist regime? Stick with the classics for success, media control is very important.

Who cares, only old people watch cable TV. Can they do the same to streaming services or youtube?
