"The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking."—Murray Bookchin
We now have a limited number of sourcebooks for "Why We Fight," an anti-fascist narrative roleplaying game in which players cooperate to create a solarpunk future! Build a crew of four characters from the Community Alliance, a grassroots movement of eco-punks, then head out on collaborative missions, fight back against the fascist militia trying to reassert power, and connect with other autonomous communities struggling to survive.
Brought to life by vibrant flavor text and incredible illustrations, "Why We Fight" was created by a small team at

There are many graphic videos showing the actions of ICE killing a motorist in Minneapolis, MN.
It's awful, but YOU MUST GO WITNESS THIS.
We have to be witnesses. We cannot bury our faces and hide our eyes.
This is how accountability works.
If we do not bare witness and stand up, there will never be accountability.

MAKE IT STOP!
RE: https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/115792978596031236
remember when i was in disbelief #NoKings was all like, see you in Spring?
the #ICE occupation of Minneapolis is happening exactly because #MAGA #Republicans don’t expect white americans, most specifically, WHITE MEN, to take to the streets in the dead of winter.
THAT’S WHY RENEE GOOD WAS EXECUTED.
the vast majority of #StopICE are folks who’ve been organized since the George Floyd protests.
Ms Good was murdered for being a n-loving white woman.
AMERICAN WHITE MEN NEED TO SHUT SHIT DOWN

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. ...
’Denmark Switches.’ A national campaign to collectively move off Big Tech. March 20th is Big Switch Day. I’ve named my goal now. I’m already almost deMicrosofted, except for my photo archive. I moved to Libre & Tuta mail and have been purging photos as I await the release of Tuta drive. Now I’m committing myself to just get the photos off OneDrive and on to my computer, that I own, in my house, by March 20th. Then I’ll delete Microsoft. Then I’ll boast about it on the Fediverse.
Reporter: Can you rule out that the US is going to take Greenland by force?
Stephen Miller: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO.

But uh, how does this work exactly?
IF the US where to invade Greenland, what do we do?
I totally lack any military skills but I certainly felt a strong urge to fight in Ukraine while it's in theory not even part of the EU
So yeah, if the US where to attack Europe because let's be honest.. that's what it is.. what do we do?
Like I said before, first it's a dictator in Venezuela but where does it end
Personally I'd rather die than be under US control 🤷 And I mean that

@Em0nM4stodonEm 
Meta, the owner is Facebook and Instagram and maker of the smart glasses, notes that the glasses are supposed to display a light when recording and are tamper resistant, and that you shouldn't use then for harassment. Also, from the article:
We put our findings to Meta. It says it will "continually review opportunities to enhance our AI glasses, informed by customer feedback and ongoing research".
So basically they are treating this article as free advertising. "We do kinda the bare minimum, and the product is always improving!" Assholes.
@sillyCoelophysisEm Dash (I'm a punctuation) @Em0nM4stodonEm
I think 
@404mediaco404 Media covered this & there's some guy you can order the glasses from who will not only disable the LED but also bypass whatever tamper mechanism they have for detecting that you've disabled the LED...
So totally surreptitious recording...
Zaïd, Malya, Naila : en France, la haine raciste vise aussi les bébés
Des torrents de commentaires racistes se sont déversés en ligne à la découverte du prénom du premier bébé de 2026 né à Avignon. Comme lui, d’autres voient leur existence instrumentalisée dès la naissance, au profit de la théorie complotiste d’extrême droite du « grand remplacement ».

"The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters, career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews.
Those arrested by the Gestapo were often held without judicial process, and political prisoners throughout Germany—and from 1941, throughout the occupied territories under the Night and Fog Decree—simply disappeared while in Gestapo custody.
Contrary to popular perception, the Gestapo was actually a relatively small organization with limited surveillance capability; still it proved extremely effective due to the willingness of ordinary Germans to report on fellow citizens."

I'm old enough to remember that the US and UK supported a coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mossadegh, after he nationalised the country's oil industry. And replaced him with the authoritarian Shah Reza Pahlavi.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

ICE just launched a “wartime recruitment” campaign and seeks agents who want to “defend” their “culture.” There will be more Renee Goods.
