i remind myself of #fascist #spain under #franco and look at spain today

doesn't mean spain is utopia today

doesn't mean "it's going to be ok, relax"

it means getting better is real

but:

1. we have a lot fucking work to do

2. there is a lot of fucking suffering ahead of us

3. do not accept #pessimism #cynicism nor #capitulation

as long as we *fight* we can right this rotten ship

biggest ally of #maga:

lazy indifference

#americans:

get off your fucking asses and fight

Continued thread

“Americans who value freedom must urgently speak up now. Support the judiciary on your social media… Take to the streets, go to as many protests as you can. Go to Telsa protests. Paint those signs, call your representatives and senators on the daily- calls are counted. Demand, and attend, town halls.

Speak up peacefully and forcefully, but speak up now. #Trump can only turn #America into Russia if we let him”

[Edit to remove author’s view of US superiority; I disagree.]

This is a friendly reminder that if you live in the United States or for some reason have to visit, you should turn OFF face ID and/or biometrics on your phone.

They ARE searching phones for any and all dissent against the fascist regime.

They CAN make you open if it your phone is just locked with face ID or fingerprint.

If it's locked with a password you at least have a chance to say nothing but LAWYER.

I was in the post-Franco, #fascist hungover Spain of the 70’s, where municipal buildings and banks were still zealously guarded by machine-gun toting troops.

A decade later in the 80’s, on a park bench in West Berlin, I was chided as an American who made ‘this mess we have now with all the damn Turks’ by a *literal* old #Nazi.

And I wondered each time what it must have been like to live through a fascist takeover.

I no longer wonder.
