So apparently all the coordination, planning and communications for organising No Kings events on Instagram have disappeared and the account admins have been suspended.

@Remittancegirl this just makes me more convinced of the "we aren't allowed to build our own things, because building is bad" leftist brainworms

@Remittancegirl In the 80s this would have become a SCOTUS case, probably a milestone 1st Amendment issue, due to likely WH involvement.

It is political censorship.

@Remittancegirl Or give your actual contact information to “organizers” on surveiilance platforms, like so many are being solicited to do. This is incompetence and naivety by the organizers who are in denial that we are, right now, living in a Fascist state and the platform owners are Quislings/collaborators. I don’t know if it’s too late for them to wake TF up.

@Remittancegirl

And the alternatives sites are?

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@violettejean If the opposition to Trump cannot figure that out, they will fail.

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@the_gneech Until you make them dependent on a platform run by someone with interests diametrically opposed to yours.

And then have it go down exactly when you need it.

This reeks of people, of organizers who do not really understand what they are up against at all.

I'm sorry, you do not organize against a hegemony on the hegemony's platform. You literally can't. And you need to communicate that to 'the people'. Maybe doing so with also make it clear what they're fighting for more powerfully

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@allanb Of course it is.

Believe that, instead of just saying it, and really understand in your bones what kind of forces you are up against.

Of course authoritarians indulge in political censorship.

@Remittancegirl
No Kings is just a fundraiser for Democrat party. If you want change, read Mao

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@sampler

No, really. Fuck right off.

I know a shit ton about Mao. And there's very little daylight between him and Trump except he was more energetic and more murderous.

Enjoy your brunch party after the no kings parade with your white liberal PMC friends

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@sampler

A. I'm not white.
B. I'm not a liberal. I lived in one of the few communist countries left on earth for 20 years.
C. Any resistance is better than no resistence.

oh, and D. I'm not American.

Get the fuck off my timeline you ignorant fool.

This is what I was thinking, too:

@lawyersgunsnmoney @Remittancegirl

sadly I think the overwhelming likelihood is that it is indeed too late...

[remittancegirl@mstdn.social]

@DonChacale
I choose not to believe that. It'll be too late when we're dead. Until then, there are important things to fight for.

I'd just rather do it more effectively.

@Remittancegirl I follow them here.....

@acm_redfox And here is a really great place to do that - because the tech bros can't shut the fediverse down.
