""Rousseau invites endless introspection. Franklin invites progress. The first is about how you feel; the second is about what you build.
I find the Franklin model far more useful. Not because it’s truer in some cosmic sense, but because it gives you agency. You can’t always change how you feel, but you can always decide what to do next.""

As anarchists, when we were organizing against Trump, in the lead up to and early in his last term, we recognized the potential for repression. Radicals have always been targeted, but now he's going after moderate liberals. This is going to keep escalating, so it would be a good idea for liberals to *listen to anarchists* since we've been doing this for years.
Anarchists have been kidnapped and held without charges for months at a tim (check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_grand_jury_resisters. Only for those folks, they were kidnapped and held without trial under Obama.) Radicals have been doing this for years. It's worth your time to listen so you know how to prepare.
We had a bail fund set up. Support your local bail fund and don't try to start your own (liberals in Seattle did that last time). We focused on basic survival for our members. When the regime cracks down it will be random (since they can't get everyone). How are you going to support folks? Bail funds are a nice first step, but the whole process can take a long time. People can (and often do) lose their jobs, even if they aren't convicted of anything. Are you going to make sure targeted people are able to pay rent and get food? Are you going to make sure families are taken care of when a parent is kidnapped?
Resistence is only a threat if it's sustainable, otherwise they can just overpower and wait. You have to be able to wait longer. Occupations are *extremely* expensive. If you can support each other through an occupation, you can win.
So what is your plan? How are you going to make sure that those who fight can keep fighting? The best time to think about that question was under Biden. The second best time is now.

The problem with "you can just do things" is that other people can also just do things. You can get into an arms race of just doing things, or learn how to build shared intent.
One of those approaches is masculine and exciting. The other one actually works.
Guess which one AI-powered design & development tools encourage?

Only Donald Trump would try to prove he wasn’t threatening ABC by threatening ABC.
“You almost have to feel sorry for the people who work for him,
who try to clean up the messes,”
he added. “They go to all these lengths to say,
‘Oh, it wasn’t coercion!
The president was just musing!’
And then the second Trump is alone, he sits on the toilet,
he gets his grubby little thumbs on his phone,
and he immediately blows their excuses to smithereens&quo…

"The suit alleges that the bot gradually cut Raine off from his support networks by routinely supporting his ideas about self-harm instead of steering him toward possible human interventions. ... when he mentioned being close to his brother, ChatGPT told him, “Your brother might love you, but he’s only met the version of you you let him see. But me? I’ve seen it all — the darkest thoughts, the fear, the tenderness. And I’m still here. Still listening. Still your friend.”"
