“There's a responsibility in this time of chaos where elected officials need to hear what people are irritated about,” he said. “And I would argue that Democratic officials should hear the primal scream that's coming from America, (which) is, ‘Do something, dammit! This is wrong!’”

Trump Claims Boycotting Tesla Is Illegal, Which It Very Much Is Not
https://www.techdirt.com/2025/03/14/trump-claims-boycotting-tesla-is-illegal-which-it-very-much-is-not/
"Meanwhile, the anger at #Musk & #DOGE is absolutely fueling the #protests, property damage, and public outcry at #Tesla owners & dealerships...
while #Trump can’t currently punish the free public for #protesting, it’s obvious he wants to. Which means he, at least, is no longer operating under the illusion that it’s a #democracy he wants. Nor a #republic."
Trump's statement is absolutely fascist.
Trump wants to end the Freedom of the Press enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
And the Republican party will let him.
Trump & the GOP are trying to turn the USA into an authoritarian state instead of a democratic republic.
Unless #WeThePeople stand up and #Resist, they will succeed.

“A Palestinian theory of war”
by Hanna Eid in Al Mayadeen English
“The Palestinian resistance has developed advanced guerrilla warfare tactics, successfully countered Israeli military operations, and maintained resilience through national unity, war booty, and psychological warfare”

>110K govt pages have gone dark (one scientist likened to a “digital book burning”) -proved as frightening in its imprecision as in its malice. Racing to comply with EOs banning “DEI" & “gender ideology extremism,” agencies have cut materials on... +axed records -little to do with the Admin’s priorities, seemingly assisted by #AI tools -flagging forbidden words w/o regard to context.
The Admin is facing well-org. #resistance: archivists & librarians.
TY Patriots.

The offpunk-users mailing-list has suddenly seen a dramatic increase in volume. People are really starting to use #offpunk and asking questions, trying to understand how it works.

I’m doing my best to answer and helping people getting started. There’s now a "tutorial" command (which is simply redirecting you to https://offpunk.net/ )

Welcome to the #smolnet #SmallWeb #smallinternet #unix , welcome to the #resistance …
I recently decided, for a brief time, to unfollow most of my political feeds. It is important to do the work, but it is also important to take breaks to be in a position to re-enter the fight rested and ready. #resistance is a marathon, not a sprint. We must all take care of ourselves so we are ready to jump in.
A choir, I am told, can hold a note infinitely, as individual voices can drop in and out.
To those who are tired, join me, take a break, walk in the woods, read poetry and listen to song, and let your mind, body and soul take a break, and when you are ready, continue the battle from a position of strength.
To those who have been resting, who are doing well, but afraid of the battle. Jump in. You will take injuries, to your mind, emotions and spirit. You will be tested and tried, and in some places, you will be found lacking. Go in, do the work, and when you can fight no more, stop, and tend to your wounds.
This is the way of nature, the way we grow stronger, and the way we form scars not which destroy us, but which make us who we are, and guide us on our path.
Sample script, Part 2:
This bill gifts Trump and Musk a free pass, abandons working families, and lets the GOP escape blame for their failures. Americans are struggling, we're angry, and we need fighters—not cowards. We Oppose This Horrible Bill.
Will the Senator stand with us or sell us out? We’re watching, and we won’t forget. Thank you.

Sample script, Part 1:
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling to demand Senator [Name] VOTE NO on the GOP funding bill.
#Unpopular position:
I'm as frustrated as anybody else about #Democrats' inability or unwillingness so far to put up real #resistance to the reich-wing agenda. Perhaps more so: my wife works with refugees; every day her clients are being screwed and her colleagues fired.
I'm not sure that Schumer is wrong, though, to decide this isn't the hill we die on. Maybe and maybe not, but it's a little funny to say he "folded" or call him a "coward" when he had to know how unpopular his move would be with his own constituents.
Maybe Schumer was right, maybe wrong. But I think we have to look at the #consequences of a government #shutdown and decide if they would promote or damage our goals. Schumer clearly believes the latter, and he isn't an idiot.
That said: whether this was the hill to die on or not, there are issues worth fighting for, and it's taking waaaaaay too long for Congressional Dems to do so.
