"His mission, his goals & objectives--whatever that is--we need to embrace it. All of it..Every. Single. Word. If Donald Trump says jump 3 ft high & scratch your head, we all jump 3 ft high & scratch our heads. That's it" - GOP Rep. Troy Nehls [w one of the most pathetic & blatantly #fascist statements I've ever seen]

"Anarchists" who act like democrat party organizers and respond to criticism of their fascism by calling consistent anti-authoritarians tankies piss me off more than any other group and unfortunly they seem to be almost every anarchist in the us at least.

Imagine a third-world country that recently held an #election. The election was seen as free and fair, although the richest man in the country paid for and overtly campaigned for one candidate, and that candidate won. #POTUS decides to call the winner to congratulate him. On that call, the winner’s billionaire donor shows up uninvited, and starts talking to POTUS.

When this is reported in the US #media, would they label the billionaire an #oligarch?

#Elon is an oligarch. #oligarchy

For the ppl outside the USA (& naive USians), only one demographic (majority) outright rejected gqp tru mp fascism & serial criminality.

The (majority) rest either didn’t think a felon yt supremacist child rapist #fascist moron was a deal breaker or wanted him for those specific traits.

Many voters clearly seldom follow news or #politics bc 45yrs of the gqp Murdoch 🇷🇺 propaganda worked.

Low-info voters got basic facts & 🇺🇸civics wrong —which was part of the Gqp sabotage long game.

Everyone needs to stop "trying to understand" psychopaths and ceding a damn thing. Republicans have been breaking all norms and wiping their butts with the Constitution for years.
Everyone needs to write or call their Senators and tell them all nominees need to adhere to normal on-boarding and confirmation procedures.
Trump needs to sign the ethics contract.
All nominees need to have the fbi background checks.
There should not be any exceptions. #uspol #nominees #election

Perfectly normal

It's part of the brotherhood of the war criminals...

I think some folks may be missing my point here.

If you are new to mutual aid and building (or joining) community, start with a local need.

One that you can do without any training or previous experience:

Like distributing food.
Like going with NAACP to a local townhall meeting.
Like escorting abortion patients if you're up for it.

That gets you plugged in. Lets you learn how these things go. Gets you listening and meeting folks. Lets you learn about other groups.

To be VERY CLEAR: Distributing food at a food pantry is an entrance point to fighting a national fascist movement.

If you are completely new, read Dean Spade's book "Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)".

It's free in various formats here (including HTML, PDF, EPUB, etc): https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/dean-spade-mutual-aid

It's also available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local library.

Read it. It's a quick read.

Go join a group.

This isn't charity.

This is resiliency and resistance.

#mutualAid #election #solarPunk

- Individual
- Individuals grouped locally
- Local groups bring immediate change in local town and surrounding areas
- Local groups communicate / coordinate for state & national action
- Coordinated national action (via local groups) brings change nationally

You can only start local. That's how this all works.

Find a group doing the following:
- Distributing shelf stable food and fresh produce
- Making and serving hot meals
- Peer to peer mental health
- Homeless / Houseless outreach & support (especially during winter right now)
- Civil rights advocacy & action (pick your group and cause)
- Education, Literacy, Library support
- Etc Et Al

These groups are already established. They have knowledge and experience. Plug in where they need you. Start with simple tasks. Listen, learn, meet people. Keep showing up on a regular schedule that you cab sustain. Don't worry about picking the right group immediately. Once you start with one group, you'll learn about others. Move to where you like after you get started.

These groups are coordinating. They are working together with other groups across town and with similar groups across the county.

Pitch in as you can. We need you. You need this. You can help right now. You can push back right now.

Push back.

(If you need help getting started, DM me with your city / town / closest town, and I'll help you search for a group to begin work with.)

“These bros know. They don’t fear journalists any more. Journalists will now learn to fear them. Because this is oligarchy now. This is the fusion of state and commercial power in a ruling elite.”

Carole Cadwalladr: “Social media *is* mainstream media now. It’s where the majority of the world gets its news. Though who even cares about news? It’s where the world gets its memes and jokes and consumes its endlessly mutating trends. Forget ‘internet culture’. The internet *is* culture. And this is where this election was fought and won … long before a single person cast a ballot.”

MAGA hecklers can't stop Tampa anti-Trump protest

On the 9th of November, anti-Trump protesters gathered in front of City Hall in Tampa, FL. This was as four huge commercial events flooded downtown with massive car and foot traffic.

This gave the protest unusually good visiblity, but also exposed it to a steady stream of pro-Trump hecklers. Even MAGA hats were visible within the supposedly civilian crowd on the street.

Speakers called out Project 2025 and the spread of abortion bans. Another said the Democrats were responsible for their own defeat by running candidates (not just this time around) who ignore the needs of their base and instead do things like funding and arming genocide.

Speaking of Project 2025, in DC today protesters marched on the Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025.

One speaker bluntly warned that Trump, Vance, and DeSantis and their extremist fanbase have "entered a war with us" without realizing what they are getting into.

Remember, unlike the IOF in Gaza, they cannot use their air power and artillery against us without hitting their own people and their own assets. If Gaza can hold out, so can we.

With #liberals going fully mask off and calling #ICE on their neighbors and saying they hope #Gaza “gets turned into a parking lot,” it’s worth tapping the sign.

I've had this #cartoon in my files for decades. It's no longer a cartoon but the reality many Americans voted for.
#election #politics #fascism #pollution #press #news #trump #corporatism

Right now, there are many different theories about why the #Democrats lost the #election. A lot of these theories conflict, and they can't all be right. But one thing all Democrats should be able to agree on is that they need a massive #Media Machine to compete with the #Republicans.

https://messagingmatters.com/2024/11/07/the-democrats-lost-the-election-to-the-republicans-whats-next/

I see all these op-eds pontificating on what the Democrats did wrong & #Trump did right this #election. They are all the same old talking points as before because no one is willing to admit the truth: the Harris campaign assumed that most Americans are good and decent people, while Trump knew that you can override our better angels through fear and division.

It’s not that complicated, but something that the talking heads don’t seem to want to admit.

A second, vengeful Trump presidency will be worse than the first. We must organize to defend Trump's targets, such as immigrants and trans people. Anti-fascists should get involved in mass protest movements opposing Trump's attacks, not to lead or steer these movements, but to play our part and share our perspectives. Trump has already indicated that he will try to crush such movements--the deeper our movements extend into workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities, the more difficult Trump's task will be.

Fascist groups will not vanish during the Trump presidency. Trump's policies such as threatened mass deportations will encourage these groups, though at other times fascists will view Trump as insufficient. Anti-fascist organizing must complement broader challenges to the authoritarian Trump government and to the global rise of the far right.

The effects of a Trump win are international, encouraging leaders such as Putin and Netanyahu, as well as right-wing populist movements worldwide. It will also, due to Trump's climate denialism and pro-drilling platform, accelerate the growing climate catastrophe. In response, our movements should expand international communication, coordination, and solidarity. It's time to fight like hell.

I watched ABC news anchor say that #Trump’s involvement in the January 6 insurrection won’t be recorded in #history because he won the #election and winners write history.

Moran is wrong. Trump looks like he writes history from inside Moran’s #news #media bubble where they only regurgitate the #press releases the White House feeds them.

Actual historians will write the history and they will uncover information that journalists never knew existed because they never bothered to try to dig it up.

seeing a lot of posts saying…

'get your IUD now'
'stock up on Plan B'
'here's where to find mifepristone'

but nowhere have i seen posts saying…

'seriously consider getting a vasectomy [so you can potentially avert the risk to someone's life or livelihood]'

as someone that's had one, there's usually a 3 month waiting period so you have time to think it over. when you go in for the procedure, it takes about an hour—half of it filling paperwork out, changing into a gown, and waiting for the surgeon. recovery took me about a day to feel 70% normal, then roughly a week to get back to 100%. there are typically no obvious signs there's been an incision since the way the procedure is done is so minimally invasive and there's zero impact to sexual or urinary function.

at this point, taking it upon yourself to get a vasectomy and talking openly about it is direct action, or at least adjacent

Anyone else having issues tuning back into news/news comedy after election day?

Tried NPR, nope. John Stewart's "we've been here before" landed flat. Even tried to watch Seth Meyers' take, and I couldn't make it in 2 minutes, as soon as he started playing Cheetoh clips.

I don't feel like the past approaches work. I can't go back to "this is normal, it's funny, it's just politics as usual" after this. Feels like the calm before meteor impact.

#Trump being the #president of the #USA is definitely not desirable
But let it be in the #history of #America that committing #genocide wasnt rewarded by #Americans in the #election2024
Some people with moral values from all #ethnicities & #beliefs stood up in the midst of horrible genocide in #Palestine & voted against #Harris, the #WarCriminal candidate of #democrats
#Republicans should know that they'll face the same fate in the next #election if they follow the same path & work for "#Israel"

There's an interesting phenomenon. I saw it with France when the National Front arrived first in some of the recent elections, and now I see it with the US.

Everyone is blaming everyone else for the fascists winning, except... you know... the people who actually vote for the fascists and who want a fascist regime.

Maybe we could start with them, just saying.
