I woke up this morning, late of course, and fired up my hardware to take backups. While this was running, I scanned my mastodon feeds.

Am I the only one who thinks that we are seeing the infancy of meaningful ‘resistance’ in the US, and in the UK this morning? Or will it fizz out and remain dormant for another year?

I know what I’d like to occur.

FWIW, Dr. Kazembe is great.

@clintruin @emptywheel.bsky.social Since you asked, it is not yet curtains. Really really close, but not yet. It is true that the rule of #law is hanging on by a slender thread. It is true that #Congress is fully subverted. It is true that the institutions of federal government that provide essential services to us are being systematically erased. Very hard times are ahead.

But… I keep returning to the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence. #Patriots sacrificed, fought, died, and ultimately prevailed to achieve what it says. Please read the brief document (link below) because this is why I believe our situation not yet checkmate: the power of the people to consent or not.

“[…] when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute #Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

I have no idea how this will be done, or when, or how long it will take. Nevertheless, I place my ultimate #trust, my #hope, in the power, right and duty of people to choose.

"One fine morning, I woke up early
o bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
One fine morning, I woke up early
to find the fascists at my door"

you can't do that
that's not the law
said to the rapist felon
who said he’s the law

everyone, all up in arms
this admin deals
in dealing harm
they’ll sink the country
they'll sink the farms
don't think they won't
go that far
or even worse
they've got the range
to destroy it all
through climate change

there is no limit
there is no end
there is no rule
won't break or bend

yet everyone
across the aisles
all fall in line
in single files
just turn around
ask the liberal
they'll all assure
he's not being literal

you're overreacting
don't be an alarmist
you must be cracking
don't strong arm this

don't make a scene
don't draw attention
we won't be seen
with too much tension

if you have to pick
please go silent
it's certainly better
than being violent

protest it all
but not too much
make all your calls
with a light touch

don't look at me
not my fault
I did my part
I tried to halt

I sent a note
I always vote
check out all
these memes I wrote

let's not upset
let's not offend
not even if
our rights suspend

we should address
all elon's theft
but first things first
let's blame the left

Tomorrow, March 14, 2025, veterans across the country will mobilize against Trump’s attacks on democracy, the VA, and the rule of law.
This mass mobilization, dubbed the Veterans March, is a direct response to a cascade of constitutional and moral crises under the Trump-Musk administration. From the gutting of veterans' healthcare and federal jobs to the open embrace of authoritarian erosions of our Constitutional order and the rule of law, MAGA Republicans have declared war on America's veterans.
There are going to be hundreds, if not thousands, of veterans from around the country descending on Washington, D.C., and gathering in state capitals nationwide. They are not marching as partisans, nor as members of any single political movement. They are marching as defenders of the oath they swore—to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. --Kristopher Goldsmith

On Offense with Kris Goldsmith · Veterans Are Marching to Defend the ConstitutionBy Kristofer Goldsmith

I love #Chvrches - but I think today is the first time I got what these lines mean:
"We hold up to an idea
And we'll fight it, what we can't see
We just hold up to an idea
We keep going 'til we can't hear "

A bit tired to fight it, but I feel this with my heart

"La vie ouvrière", la revue fait un dossier spécial #servicespublics pour l'édition février 2025. #Budgets amputés, #marchandisation, dénigrement des fonctionnaires... Le démantèlement organisé du secteur public met en danger la société toute entière. #Camarades ! Si nous nous battons sans relâche aujourd'hui, c'est parce que nous pensons que le pire est en train de venir. Dans un monde capitaliste, le caractère infini de la course au profit broie, tue : que/qui restera-t-il ?
Conscient•es de nos valeurs, "caillou dans la chaussure", nous ne plions pas, nous ne lachons rien ! ✊🔥
