How To Defeat Fascist Government Surveillance Vehicles 
Edited 182d ago
I'm saving a ton of money over the last year. Here's my secret:
-Cancelled NYT subscription
-Cancelled WaPo subscription
-Cancelled Amazon Prime
-Cancelled Spotify
Turns out I'm saving money and also giving my more directly to smaller businesses, true journalists, and artists.
Really not that hard, people.
Fun fact: Musk was only hailed as a "genius" in the US because of unearned adulation in the media. In South Africa they never took him seriously.
And South Africa's ambassador to the US just correctly observed that Elon Musk's promotion of the far right in Europe is based in racist ideas.
Which caused Marco Rubio to throw him out of the country, Putin style, for excessive accuracy. God this is humiliating.

New today: I created a brief guide to help Texans, especially #LGBTQIA+ folks and allies living here, better understand the legislature and which bills are likely to become law ... and which ones probably won't go anywhere.
If we're going to be share, fight, protest ... we should make it count. https://kitoconnell.com/2025/03/22/bad-bills-texas-legislature-understanding-how-to/

"You can support a lawyer’s right to represent unpopular clients and causes against powerful forces — essentially the oath we all took when becoming members of the bar. Or you can sit back, check your bank balance and watch your freedoms, along with the legal system and the tripartite system of government we should not take for granted, swirl down the drain."

This may come sound callous, but the information environment is so bad that I'm actually happy that Trump's crashing the economy.
There are a lot of people who don't give a shit about students being disappeared by secret police for WrongThink but care very much about their IRAs and grocery bills.
We'd be in a far worse position if #Trump had kept Biden's recovery rolling and took credit for it while blowing up our checks and balances destroying the rule of law.

I have further expanded the https://www.maga-collaborators.net website.
It now tracks #colleges and #universities in addition to #law firms and other #corporations that are #collaborating, #capitulating, or #resisting the #Trump #regime.
Please share this link to help spread the word! I'll be adding to and upgrading this website regularly moving forward.
And please send tips to help fill in the gaps in the data to the email address listed on the website.
You're kidding right? Her work on cells and aging is a threat to US security? I guess that's true if it means longer lives for the fascists in charge.

Somewhere Barbara Streisand can heave a huge sigh of relief. It will henceforth be known as "the Vance effect."
Dr Oz says being healthy is a patriotic duty
Worse, he says they spend 70% of Medicare & Medicaid funds on chronic illness & aren’t “getting their money’s worth”
This is the quiet part said out loud.
They don’t want to cure chronic illness, they want us to take the blame.
They don’t want to pay.
They aren’t even being subtle anymore. They’re making lists of people with autism. They deride those who can’t work or serve in the military.
“Wise decisions” would be universal healthcare. Universal basic income. Addressing poverty, food deserts and income inequality.
This isn’t “wise decisions”, it’s eugenics.

❝ Chatbots are made by companies, to serve those companies’ ends… Grok is a reflection of X and xAI, which exist to advance Musk’s worldview and make him money — and it’s thus unsurprising to think that the bot would say things about race in South Africa that largely align with Musk’s political opinions. ❞

Under the watchful eye of the fascist anti-vaxx regime, covid boosters are going to be restricted to those 65 and over or with “preconditions”.
Everyone needs the right to access Covid vaccines.
It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling. And the vaccines are an important tool to keep folks out of hospital.
There’s three days left to have your say!
These folk respond to force & mass public outcry, so make your voice heard!

"For those of us who remain horrified by its actions, the White House is hoping we ultimately treat it like we now do mass shootings. That is to say, the administration hopes it becomes so commonplace that we hear about it, shake our heads in resigned hopelessness, and begin to accept it as inevitable."

It may be small & petty, but these changes are part of the erosion of democratic norms, softening people up for potentially more #authoritarian behavior.

ICE shot a journalist in the leg. A journalist.
They’re shooting people who are there to cover the protests as an essential part of the freedom of the press and the right to free speech.
It was apparently a non-lethal round, yet emergency surgery is required.
This regime has already silenced so many journalists.
Kicked them out of the Oval Office and filled it with “friendlies” (ie propagandists).
These are dark times:
