Trump dumping shit on protesters in a video he posted himself is not a headline in the New York Times. This tells us everything about the level of self-censorship and acceptance of fascism and authoritarianism. In any other normal democratic country this would be a headline...

Trumps Antifa-Verbot: Kein Witz
âPer »executive order« hat US-PrĂ€sident Donald Trump die Antifa zur Terrororganisation erklĂ€rt. Viele witzeln gerade darĂŒber, verweisen darauf, dass von US-Behörden bis zum deutschen Verfassungsschutz erklĂ€rt wird, dass es »die Antifa« als Organisation gar nicht gibt, die Idee von Trump und seinen europĂ€ischen Kameraden Geert Wilders und Giorgia Meloni, gegen die Terrororganisation Antifa zu kĂ€mpfen, also lĂ€cherlich sei.
Genau das ist nicht der Fall. Gerade die Schwammigkeit mit der »Antifa« wie auch das Feindbild »Transideologie« in den Terrorverdacht gestĂŒrzt werden, macht es ihnen leicht.â

Ukraine's president had hoped to seal a deal with #Trump for long-range arms. But #Putin spoke to Trump first.
At the White House, President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine made the case for why the weapons sale would help end #Russiaâs #war.
But as always, Trump deferred to Putin.

Fascims - Even Victims Being Part of It (willingly)... [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Sorry that's much like partially shooting yourself in the foot and then blaming rich people / bad leaders.
So you if you don't see Banks as bad / funding wars - there is something seriously wrong. If you're keeping money there and going to protest - no matter how hard you #protest your money is with them and doing bad things overnight.
(Appreciate the reply by the way / let's try work on this)
I know alternatives are seemingly few or hard to do but don't let that stop you trying for those things and not just protesting -
*This* more-human part or real #boycott is part of the REAL "protest" (I.E. other protests are real but THEY ARE *JUST PROTEST* as in 'asking' / begging constantly for them to change.
Protest in many senses we know is low change / đŻ % not going to happen (a lot of protest in history!) so by not moving what power / money (or things similar) out of their control / abuse) this is basically not clever protest
(measurably not just my opinion - there is a direct power construct to paying for #war and #bad things).
I don't think you got it as much as this above (with respect) so I'm adding this...
I'm saying yes to your list as partially good but not physically changing enough in core areas. (d it all but don't avoid the more core things and not just 'support' stuff which will be infinite unless your change the core).
The picture (newer version + others added) was trying to show we are born into all this / part of the system and showing you (the public) are part of it's thinking too if you are thinking you are not part of fascist structures (the whole #State and #Bank #hierachy / #authority / #monopoly).
I know you don't want to label yourself / agree you're part of #fascism BUT if people are using banks / bad maths / cheating systems and think it's ok and just neutral numbers paying each other less calue THEN YOU ARE PART OF FASCISM AND NEED TO COME OUT OF THAT THINKING!...
VICTIMS
*I do blame* victims AFTER they know this and continue. While all victims should have a chance and need time - some are WAY TOO COMFORTABLE and went into settling for it.
No longer victim here as bourgeois (LOTS of people here very comfortable)... *and they* play their part in I'm a victim by going to the same theater or opera / shops / institutes / city.
And they think all people online are doubtful - might as well did you're own grave that way.
When the crowd pays to go in and boo the actors and want to pay bad people for their goods (and then complain). Just playing into it too much.
So there's a measurable limit even to "victim" I'm sympathetic for (to a limit), but not settling comfortably into and not even in blaming-mode constantly helps (which is a lot of #Fediverse too).
They spend 100's of hours (go check all the hashtags - again it's measurable) - but nearly nothing on forging friends... all the Tech people work on machines, code and then blame #Musk for using it. Short examples like that (more of a long chain but you get the picture).
"It's not our fault we don't like giving time to other humans online or offline and play with PlayStation Linux all day, all our life..." 
#Trump #Musk bla bla bla hashtags and near-0 on building #trust / #friendship / giving #time to random people here between themselves. And poor you now getting a long detailed reasoning you might avoid replying.
Just blame and #caturday cat pics? 
Na. Not working.
HOPE THAT'S CLEARER FOR YOU!
đ§âđ€âđ§ + đŠ đ€ = FASCISM HIERARCHY / AUTHORITY / POWER / MUSK or whoever
Even using #Amazon back ends to fuel instances without non-interactive human instances to change... is passing time like watching one-way TV news and never using ourselves / adding others almost whoever they are.
SO WHAT NOW -
Let me know where we can go for participating in circles...
Let me know what you think of each part of this.
We're all recovering but #Mastodon etc as a #social engine is largely empty software without a kind of department dedicated to actually doing social on any deeper level than complaining - an organized social - not one way stuff ... our stuff - 2-way into deeper things, not just text but audio chat that people can dedicate to every days as part of the whole #therapy of life. And create our way out of it into the new (not spread their crap).
My whole #FreeSchool account shows I've genuinely tried to find and #failed to find much and many are not interested.
I appreciate your reply and this isn't damning you or to win in the end an argument...
....unless you choose to end it here.
About resources:
I think it is more #emotionally yes and not having will-power needs working on to encourage each other (hence having chats with people and not necessarily having to say everything but enough to really push past alone-ism)- time seems plenty for many (you can tell but their profile posts)
It's the #will or constancy in others encouraging / asking for / seeing and accepting others as imperfect (naturally) and not being so doubtful - as that scuppers any chances too.
Wwithout even testing people out people have resigned / accept fascism and even play their part.
Part of the answer we need to do is in testing and solving real communication - no more bashing #trump #ETC.
Agree? / Disagree?
Want to work on it?
âŹïž These are clear questions -
please don't avoid.

#Trump said Friday he had commuted the sentence of former US #House Rep #GeorgeSantos, who is serving more than 7 years in federal #prison after pleading #guilty to #fraud & #IdentityTheft charges.
The #NY Republican was sentenced in April after admitting last year to deceiving donors & stealing the identities of 11 people â including his own family members â to make donations to his campaign.

The conservative-dominated court has handed #Trump repeated victories in emergency appeals since he took office in January, after lower courts have ruled against him & often over the objection of the 3 liberal justices. #SCOTUS has allowed Trump to ban #transgender people from the #military, claw back billions of dollars of congressionally approved federal #spending, move aggressively against #immigrants & fire leaders of #independent #FederalAgencies.

The #Trump admin asked #SCOTUS to allow the deployment of the #NationalGuard in #Chicago, escalating Trumpâs conflict with Democratic governors over using the #military on US soil.
The emergency appeal to the court came after a judge prevented, for at least 2 weeks, the deployment of Guard members from #Illinois & #Texas to assist #immigration enforcement. A federal appeals court refused to put the judgeâs order on hold.

"By the 1970s, the public association of southern white churches with segregationism had damaged the image of the Christian Right.

"They do so with two express intentions: to make people believe that their political foes are doing that which they themselves are trying to get away with, and to make it easier to get away with defiling the Constitution."
"Once again, these are not mere lies from Johnson et alia. I make this distinction from time to time, and itâs worth making again here. A lie is a mere denial of truthâ'I never said that' or 'No, Mom, that isnât my pot, I was just holding it for Mark.' What Republicans are doing here, as they do with such regularity, is more than lie. They invert the truth. They say its exact opposite."
"Have a gander at this map of march locations for tomorrow. There are 16 in Wyomingâa state notoriously pulsing with Hamasniks. There are 18 in Oklahoma, that veritable hornetâs nest of antifa hooliganism. There are another 18 in my home state of West Virginia (go, Morgantown contingent!), where Marxism has obviously taken deep root among an unsuspecting populace."
As House Speaker Mike "God Talks to Me" Johnson tries to deter attendance at tomorrow's pro-democracy, pro-America demonstrations by saying that they'll be anti-American and full of pro-Hamas, antifa, and Marxist types, Michael Tomasky notes WHO IN THE REAL WORLD is going to be at these demonstrations:
On Thursday the Bureau of Land Management approved the expansion of a copper #mine on #PublicLands in #Utah. Earlier this week the #Interior Dept prepared to open >250,000 acres of land in #Wyoming & #Nebraska to #oil #drilling, & held a #coal lease sale for access to #Montanaâs Powder River Basin. And at the #EPA, employees are finalizing a plan to allow more #mercury #emissions from coal plants, acc/to 2 people familiar with the work underway.
>700,000 federal employees have been sidelined & thousands more are at risk of being fired as the #government #shutdown drags on.
But the workers responsible for carrying out #Trumpâs plans for more #FossilFuels & less #wind & #solar power are still hard at work. Some are approving permits for companies that want to extract #metals, #coal, #oil & #gas from #PublicLands & federal #waters. Others are rolling back limits on the #GreenhouseGas #emissions that are driving #ClimateChange.
The #Government Is #ShutDown. But Not for #FossilFuels.
Federal workers who issue permits for oil, #gas & #mining operations are on the job, along with those working to repeal #pollution limits.

"But the truth is that while his force of personality might be unique, the tactics heâs using to lend legitimacy have been carefully cultivated for a long time.
