now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Light

Today they sent out a memo to all executive branch agencies today asking them to report anyone who's job recently changed to include anything DEI related. They gave them a grace period of 10 days, but after that, there may be "adverse consequences.

There were three real purposes to that, and none of them were to ensure clarity or total compliance:

1) To create a sense of paranoia and distrust amongst coworkers.

2) To get you used to telling on your neighbors and friends.

3) To let you know that harboring the "enemies" has consequences.

More and more, we're seeing laws pop up that require citizens to go after one another in order to execute the law. For example, Texas had an abortion law that allowed any private citizen to sue any doctor who'd given a woman an abortion. We're going to continue to see language like this and laws like this pop up, and I want you to pay VERY close attention to it, because it's got one very clear purpose.

This is a chapter straight out of a well-known playbook. There were too many citizens for the government to execute their genocide alone. They depended on citizens to tell on one another. They depended on their citizens wanting to save themselves enough to sell someone else out.

Do not let them divide us again. They are censoring our speech because we had finally found common ground. They are pitting us against one another because we were finally coming together. It's okay. This setback was always going to be a part of our story. Those who benefit from The System will rage against change before they go down. Remember who the real enemy is. If ever the time comes where you are asked to tell on your neighbor, I urge you to resist the urge to save yourself at their expense. If our empire is going to fall, let our legacy be a people who went down together. If our empire is going to fall, let our legacy be one of bravery in the face of our own short-sightedness. Let us have the bravery to rage against the common enemy instead of one another.

If you're going to a protest, wear a mask, not makeup. Makeup designed to confuse AI can still get you recognized by law enforcement, and Juggalo makeup won't be helpful as Juggalo's are recognized as a gang by the FBI. Stay safe. Wear full face masks, hide piercings and tattoos or any other distinguishing features.

Please reblog so this can reach more people.

The fact that this is 80 fucking years ago but still just as relevant is terrifying.

Hey!! Have you been following the Paralympics? My country is performing very well this year (we broke the All time high medal tally that we set last Paralympics). I am so proud of the athletes. Nitesh Kumar (won Gold in Badminton) cleared JEE and was accepted in an IIT (0.5 acceptance rate) and UPSC(The 2nd hardest exam in the world) in his first trand only picked up Badminton in his early twenties.

I haven't been following it (I don't really follow any sports, tbh) but that's awesome!! I'm glad your country is doing so well /gen :>

No one asked for my thoughts but someone I follow (hi rory) rb'd this so here I am crawling out of the woodwork like a little beetle

I think the problem with Gil and Lagoona is that they're victims of the writing. Progress could've been made, but it wasn't being made because of the writing. Their,,, what's the word? Tension? It was drama for the writers to use as plot, or at least plot fuel.

And there are a handful of indicators of an unhealthy relationship, which I don't think is a fault of either character themselves but instead their environment and the tension (see 13 wishes, and Lagoona's wish being to become a freshwater monster specifically for Gil's parents. That's... a little unhealthy.)

I think it's valid to criticize their relationship itself, but the problem comes with the nuances. I don't like g1 gil either, but it wasn't really him at fault for their relationship, he was basically just channeling his parents' shit behavior and the writers never got the development far enough for him to stand up to them and make real progress.

Personally I think a good plot for them would be a (mutual, on good terms) breakup, where they both have space to work on themselves and, in Lagoona's case, not deal with the pressure of not being enough for her boyfriend's parents. (She shouldn't care, but she's also like 15, so I think it's warranted.) Have some clear, distinct progress with Gil and his parents, and then have them revisit their relationship later on.

"we need more complex relationships in media" y'all couldnt even handle Gil and Lagoona 😭

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.
