Bearish times for #Democracy
And for #environment, #civilization as we've known it, #rights, #environment, #health, #science, #education, #seniors, #truth ...

What do they know? For sure, they caught our attention. We need to be bearish on #TrumpVirus #fascism #NoKings



So remember folks, support huge EU corporations like this German one instead of US ones because our European Values™ are… oh…

“What Europe needs is something like DOGE.” – Tim Höttges, CEO, Deutsche Telekom AG (also, an asshole)

#FOSS community. How much did WE vote democratically for current #fascism trends, with the wallet of our ergonomic coding keyboards?

#FOSS has failed as a concept. It's software ate the world.. and runs #BigTech #fascism now.

How much of our #WorkingInPublic and #SoftwareFreedom was gratis fundamental #innovation and applied #OpenScience, that is oh so bad for revenue. Gladly delegated to volunteer losers who can work on just #morals and values that're alien to #corpo?


Curtis Yarvin describes himself as a “dark elf” saving the know-nothing “hobbits” of the US public with an anti-democratic, pro-tech politics.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to Julia Black to understand how his popularity has grown and why tech billionaires are echoing his extreme ideas.

I won't go into details because they aren't mine to share, but a fash publication dropped dox (real name, location, years of internet history) on an antifascist member of the #fediverse today, based in large part on their activity on @kolektiva dot social and elsewhere on #Mastodon.

Just a reminder that the enemy is aware that we are gathered here and is watching us, and as we head into these dangerous times it's important to remember that. Think twice before posting anything here you wouldn't want linked to you in a court of law, for example. #SocialMedia #fascism #antifa #SecurityCulture #feditips


Your Twitter/X account is a microphone connected to a mixer controlled by a fascist. You can speak all you want. The fascist controls your volume and can mute you whenever he wants. And you might not even know you’ve been muted because you can still hear yourself in your headphones.

It’s not called resistance when your volume knob is in someone else’s hand.

Almost half a century ago #Portugal made a #revolution to conquer #democracy. But we're not quite there yet. The #political #power of the suburban village of #Oeiras uses and abuses power to censor what is different from its understanding. Where there is #censorship there is no democracy.

To the 'radical' #socialist lefties ranting about fascism & talking about 'doing the work required' but refuse to #ALTtext their images, despite private polite asks...
All I see is you unwilling to do the ACTUAL work of inclusivity to fight #fascism.

Fascists eradicate #disabled first, and your ignoring disabled & unwillingness to do the labor of #inclusivity by simple ALT text makes your posts look like #hypocrisy to me.

Yes, it takes some effort. This is the work.


Gerrymandering is one of the most powerful tools for fascism. It fosters systemic racism and undermines the entire democratic process.

I redesigned Stephen Nass’ CC-licensed illustration to clarify how gerrymandering works. If you know folks who don’t understand it, please share it with them.

In SC this is happening in right now. Black voters are being disenfranchised. And it’s overt racism.

Graphic titled ‘Gerrymandering explained. Three different ways to divide 50 people into 5 districts.’ There are four 5 by 10 grids of blue/red squares: 20 red and 30 blue. The first, labeled ‘aggregate votes,’ shows them as a single group, concluding with ’60% blue, 40%, blue wins.’ The second, labeled ‘appropriate,’ shows them grouped into 5 equal columns by color, concluding with ‘3 blue districts, 2 red districts, blue wins.’ The third, labeled ‘compact but unfair,’ shows them grouped into 5 equal blocks comprising 4 red squares and 6 blue squares, concluding with ‘5 blue districts, 0 red districts, blue wins.’ The final, labeled ‘manipulated and inaccurate,’ shows them grouped into 5 calculated groups to manipulate the majority, concluding with ‘2 blue districts, 3 red districts, red wins.’ The caption reads ‘Adapted from Washington Post’s adaptation of Stephen Nass’ illustration with a CC license (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:How_to_Steal_an_Election_-_Gerrymandering.svg).’


For those of you, like me, watching America’s rapid descent into fascism in abject horror from the sidelines in Europe, remember: where America goes, the West soon follows. If we don’t like where that is, we must do better than doing the same things and hoping for different outcomes.

What I’m saying is America is a warning, not an instruction manual.
