Ultimately, project 2025 calls for putting all non-christians and lgbtq people in camps for "re-education" and if that "doesn't work," we'll be executed.
And all POC will be stripped of citizenship and deported or executed. That's called "re-migration."
There are random lone wolves here and there, but there is a big govt with plans to ethnically and religiously cleanse the entire US, and they're a much bigger thing to worry about.

I'm not disparaging people who keep guns in their home. There are lots of scenarios where that might be critically important.

I don't have any guns myself - I think those prepper dudes who imagine they can hold off the US Army confiscating all their prepped supplies are fairly stupid.
But we need something. I just don't know what. So many dems still think they can just call the police and be protected, and that just isn't the case.
And they need to understand that BEFORE they're in a situation...

2026-04-18 21:12:12 UTC

We can't rely on the police to protect us from maga, qanon, white nationalist, christo-fascists, techbros, predatory capitalists, or any other fascist ideology.
More often than not, the cops are *part* of those parties & working *against* the rights of other people, either overtly or covertly.
Expecting your enemies to protect you is not a smart plan.
Communities must stand together.

Because AI doesn't "think," it just regurgitates whatever material was put into it. The material determines the outcome. And we all know what side the tech-bros are on. So nothing AI does is trustworthy. Everything from history to current events to finances...anything at all you ask it is going to be what the tech-bros want you to see, not the objective reality.

This is one of the things the Heritage Foundation and other white nationalist groups want to bring back. It's called "remigration" and it involves invalidating the citizenship of non-christians and non-whites then dumping them somewhere overseas with nothing but the shirt on their backs. Ethnic Cleansing of the US.

I'm calling it now: They're going to fly over "disobedient" areas and kill all the food crops, and probably blockade roads too, to starve people and stop supplies from coming in. Seems like Cuba is the test project.

"We do need some renewables. But the ‘transition’ must be radically reframed. We must not start by asking “how do we transition the current global economy to renewable energy” – that proposition is a death sentence. We must start by asking “what are our real human energy needs, and how do we meet them in the wisest way possible?” In other words, what are the needs of thriving local economies."

Which is why important to have fixed hidden cameras on the eaves of buildings and homes, in second storey windows and on rooftops, at intersections and in not obvious places on cars.

This should be useful for people living in coastal areas, deltas, or who want to move to safer areas before you end up as climate refugees after some disaster. FEMA maps are not reliable, class.

I'm not calling for violence but it's hard to find the words to describe how stupid cheeto's plan to invoke the insurrection act is w/out sounding like it.
I mean, telling a bunch of white nationalist christo fascist misogynist bigots that they have carte blanche for street executions, while we have no legal recourse...sounds to me like declaring open season on ICE agents.
I mean, if I'm going to be killed or trafficked to a slave camp anyway, what's my motivation to not dish it back in-kind?

There have never been enough living wage jobs in the US for every working age adult who needs one.
That's the way they suppress wages and oppress workers - by not staffing their businesses fully and making one person do the work of two or three.
The reason? So shareholders can get another couple of cents worth of dividends every quarter.

"Localised farms are not monocultures sprayed with chemicals – they’re mosaics of life. They also produce much more food per acre – often five times as much – than industrial farms.

That's not going to fly in court. If you have an apartment with a balcony you can set up a camera and film everything that goes by.

We can't continue to use 1.78 "earths" worth of resources every year.
Eventually something's gotta give. We're using nearly two years worth of resources every year, and there's no way to "speed up" replenishment to match.

Peak Oil never went away. The can just got kicked down the road with fracking. There have been no new major reserve discoveries in years, and there aren't going to be.
We have wasted our oil resources on unnecessary consumerism and private automobiles in only 100 years instead of conserving it for a millennia of emergency vehicles and sterile medical supplies.
Soon we won't even have it for those, as costs rise.

No Tax Tips is all talk, little substance.
"The White House’s Council of Economic Advisors says tipped workers will gain ~$1,300 a year in take-home pay. That affects roughly 4 million Americans, or 2.5% of the US workforce — many of whom already owe little or no income tax, per the Yale Budget Lab.
Meanwhile, the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the tax break will cost $32 billion over its temporary four-year run."

The entire culture he comes from teaches violence is the solution to all problems - from abusing energetic children and pretending it's discipline, to domestic violence against women, to killing animals for fun, to calling for the deaths of non-christians, non-whites, and lgbtq folks. The fact he repudiated the hate didn't change his violent cult upbringing. He lacked the maturity & introspection to realize he was just changing targets, not tactics. He was still in the cult mentality.

Prior to air conditioning, home builders employed a wide variety of strategies to keep buildings cool in hot climates, that didn't need artificial power.
Modern builders have completely ignored most of that, but some clever hacks - as well as solar panels & small residential wind supplemental power - can fill in some blanks.
It also helps if you know how double-hung windows are actually supposed to work. (See Alt Text)

Lack of people moving is a bad sign that the economy is unstable and people fear making changes that could have negative impacts on their monthly budget.

Clergy can perform religious weddings without filing any sort of county, state, or federal paperwork - just a certificate from that particular religious sect. It's good at any congregation (of that sect) and are kept on record. Orthodox Jews do this a lot - have a religious wedding but not a "legal" one. Be sure and have a living will and powers of attorney and all that just in case. Not all entities will accept the religious certificate but a surprising number will.

Your insurance company does.

Insurance will become so expensive only the super wealthy can afford it, and most ordinary insurers will go out of business.
Those are facts.
And if banks and mortgage companies insist on buyers having insurance, only corporations will be able to buy homes.
This is not a conjecture.
