Now the Trump regime is coming after gamers. It's not about politics anymore. It's about standing up for what is right... The right to play video games. ️

This f-ing guy, who told folks malaria drugs are good against COVID and pregnancy hormones make you lose weight, will take charge of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

What the literal F is wrong with people?

“Last month, #PaulWeiss removed a web page that had highlighted its ‘leadership in a court-ordered effort to find parents deported by the #Trump administration & to reunify families.’ Visitors to the page now get an error message, as do users looking for any mention of Paul Weiss's pro bono work on behalf of #LGBTQ people.”

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

You see, tyranny has been discovered very early, and very early really as an enemy. Still, it has never in any way prevented any tyrant from becoming a tyrant. It has not prevented Nero, and has not prevented Caligula. And Nero and Caligula have not prevented a more closer example of what the massive intrusion of criminality can mean for the political process.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this, #freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. #Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.

Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this: Try.

- Karis Nemik (#Andor)

“they’re acting like this is part of some legal framework, when it’s not. It’s an extra legal attack. And so when you do not call it out as an extra legal attack, you are actively contributing to destruction of the rule of law.” - Prof. Jason Stanley

This entire interview is a #MustRead .

Hail Spartacus!

Fighting tyranny begins with a first step.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
