May 9, 1921: Sophie Scholl was born on this date in 1921. She was a central member of the anti-Nazi White Rose group in wartime Germany. She was captured, charged with high treason for distributing anti-war literature, & beheaded along with her brother, Hans. Since the 1970’s her antifascist resistance has been recognized and honored.

"'Survivors need protection, resources and legal support. If this Congress is serious about justice, then let this moment also affirm your commitment to provide victims with the legal aid they need,' De Georgiou said at a press conference organized by Republican Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democrat Ro Khanna of California, who are trying to force a vote on that bill."

To all of the brave folks out there, fighting injustice. Those who call themselves antifascists, and those who don’t even know that they are. Those at the protests. Those in the flotillas. Those harassing ICE in the streets. All of you…
I just wanted to say you’re fucking rad. Thank you for fighting the good fight and getting in good trouble.
Cry, grieve, and have moments of despair. But don’t give up. Don’t lose hope.

April 15, 1968: On this date, the album Underground by Thelonius Monk was released. Album cover art depicted Monk as a member of the French Resistance in WW2. Won a Grammy for best album cover. Still best album cover ever.
In my new article "The rebellion will be federated – 2025 edition" I discuss the key role of the Fediverse in this political and cultural climate... and argue that digital sovereignty and the ability to self-host are now more important than ever:

Good morning Fedi friends!
I was supposed to start writing a new blog post about my tech stack - disclaimers about the apps/platforms I use and the ones I actively avoid for ethical reasons…
Well I just started doing some research and reading about #technofeudalism … and fell down a fascinating and haunting rabbit hole.
🔗: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/451795/technofeudalism-by-varoufakis-yanis/9781529926095
“Technofeudalism” is officially my word of the year, if not the decade (century, possibly). I wish more people were aware of it.
The #Fediverse feels more and more like a safe haven for me. And in the bleakness of our current political and technological situation, I’m comforted by the fact I’m currently self-hosting essential services (thank you @yunohost ).
TL;DR: I’m super grateful for the existence of the #Fediverse and the fact I’ve learned how to self-host – two amazing ways to resist technofeudalism.

“Women who carry water for the patriarchy just so they can have a slightly longer leash and stand a few rungs up in oppression from other women, particularly marginalized women, make me a special kind of angry. Being master's favorite dog is still having a master and being a dog.“
—Allison Floyd
Tad Stoermer Professor of the history of resistance
"All meaningful change in America has come with a body count. The bodies of those who were the victims of abusive authority & those who fought to end it. Because the awful truth about resistance is that abusive authority does not stop. When it gains control it uses it & the more it uses, the more it wants. It's a physical law. It will not stop unless it is stopped. It cannot be persuaded. (cont)

April 18, 1929: On this date, Jean Jülich was born. At the age of 13 he joined the Edelweiß Pirates, an informal network of German youth with non-conformist to oppositional behaviors against the enforced social conformity of the Third Reich. Some Pirates engaged in active antifascist resistance, defacing Nazi posters, scrawling anti-Nazi graffiti, assassinating Nazi officials, & plotting to bomb the Cologne Gestapo headquarters. (1/7)
It's okay to protect yourself. Survival itself is an act of resistance.
Every trans person alive four years from today will be a victory for us and a failure for them.
Every queer person alive four years from today will be a victory.
Every Black person alive four years from today will be a victory.
Every immigrant alive four years from today will be a victory.
Every liberal person and spiritual person and freethinking person and socialist person and differently-abled person and *kind* person alive four years from today will be a victory.
It's okay to take care of yourself. Survival itself is an act of #resistance.

A Demonstrator’s Guide to #GasMasks and #Goggles
Everything You Need to Know to Protect Your Eyes and Lungs from Gas and Projectiles

"One of the basic ways that police maintain violent control of our society is by interfering with our ability to breathe—and sometimes with our ability to see. Nowadays, regardless of whether you employ confrontational tactics, you could be exposed to tear gas or hit by a rubber bullet just by being is in the vicinity of a protest. By taking the proper precautions, we can mitigate the risks while continuing to show up for each other. This guide explores a wide range of options for protecting your eyes and lungs from chemical agents and projectiles, detailing the advantages and disadvantages of each, so you can pick out what’s best for you."

For those who feel lost and struggling with what to do and lost in the #doomscroll and feel ill-equipped to deal with the #fascism we find ourselves surrounded by.

I have a new #project - #mapping the digital service infrastructure in the UK. Specifically all those tools, products, services and platforms that underpin the development of other services.
I've created a site and I really hope that any #UK #digital folks will help me boost this, because it's pretty empty right now, and I need help filling it up.
https://alternatives-in.uk is an act of #resistance - I will eventually create a dedicated Mastodon account, but for now, I'll put updates here.
