The only thing less useful than a political action you think is useless is complaining on the internet about that action.

For fuck's sake, just do the thing you want to do! The people you're complaining about won't be convinced by your posts, but they might be convinced by your effective actions.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

What Is Political Violence? - Boston Review
Pundits and politicians conceal the truth: it’s all around us, perpetrated by our political system itself.

Simply marching in the streets once every few months will not stop fascism. We have to draw people into concrete organizing and activity. No one else is going to do this for us.

Whether there are two of you or two hundred of you, this guide goes over what you can do.

It'd be exciting to develop tiny ESP32 powered AirTag-like-devices that operate on encrypted LoRa channels.

If stuck on in the wheel well of an ICE vehicle, you'd have a tracking system that would evolve into a technological arms race between the open source community and agoraphobic rent-a-cops.
