Hopefully TOR + ProtonVPN is good enough.

I mean my alternative is to shut up and live like I'm in China. Fuck that. I'll just have to pray none of the nodes are compromised and ProtonVPN isn't betraying me. I'm feeling a bit suicidal anyways. Fuck trump, Fuck fasicm

They can't arrest us all.

Edit: Oh forgot to mention that they also have to obtain the Exit Node IP from my Anarchist Instance Owner first before they try to trace the connection.

"Your life is worth it, don't give up!"

Right as I think about my own suicide plans.

I feel like a hypocrite.

This is referring to earlier reports that I've read that says Ukraine is supposedly attempting to build their own nuke. The USA or any nuclear country would never give a nuke to Ukraine, that would be an undeniable escalation and Putin can then justify using giving nukes to... say Belarus. Then any nukes launched by Ukraine against Russia is treated as a US attack on Russian soil, then Belarus would launch against the US. The whole point of no US troops on ground is so that US and Russia is not directly at war. US nuke gifted to Ukraine is even worse than US troops on ground, as that just WW3. In contrast, nukes built by Ukrainians themselves with zero western involvement cannot be blamed on the US (although I don't doubt Putin would try to pin the blame on "The West"). Ukraine would have to complete the nuke before trump takes office.

Off topic but "an appintee of President-Elect ___" is an interesting phrase I've never seen before.

Next we might see "an appoinee of President-Elect ___ has declared that his criminal convictions are invalid due to presidential immunity."

The average voter mindset is "which president will get me cheaper food?"

My parents get fed propaganda from Wechat (yes that Chinese app) saying democrats are letting too much illegal immigrants in, taking up too much resources.

We are legal immigrants, but shes doesn't see "illegal immigrant" is a dogwhistle about all immigrants that they dont like like black or brown people, or anyone they deem inferior.

Doesnt help the fact that Eric Adams and NYC democrats are building homeless shelters near Chinese American population.

My parents told me some of our relatives in NYC voted Trump, Asian Americans voting trump.

They say some Asian American co-workers at their workplace are supporting Trump.

My parent say "Its fine, we survived one term under trump"

Everyone who's a US Citizen in our household voted Kamala Harris. We tried. Our state PA still went red.

My US Citizen mom once said, "maybe we shouldn't vote for democrats, look at what they did in NYC (refering to homeless shelters)", and I reminded her about the Chinese Exclusion Act. So she vote Harris because I told her to. Like she didnt have a mind of her own. If her children turned out to be conservatives, she'd vote trump. Some people just dont care about politics. Similarly, some people have apolitical children but political parents, those children then vote for who their parents vote for.

We need to fix this voter apathy. Democracy is just broken.

(oh wow didnt mean to type a paragraph, sorry for the wall of text, election results still enraging me...)

Technically they said Presidents and Former Presidents cannot be prosecuted for it, not give them the authority to. You still have to find a "yes-man" to obey those orders. Biden can try, tell the military to kill SCOTUS members for treason, they say "Sorry Mr. President No-can-do". Biden might be immune for trying to do it.

*keyword "might" be, but Scotus can say "that was not an official act"

Y'all know which one, the one that brought most of us here.

June 12, 2023, nothing happened on the front page, it was a peaceful day, there is no protest, carry on, internet user.

(It was June 12 right? My post-covid memory has been a bit blurry)

Edit: typo

I hate this reality, but remember that in 1950, Black Americans were literally being lynched. I don't think a trump presidency is worse than that or even nearly as bad, at least not this soon. If dems dont win the midterms and get a 2028 trifecta we might have a problem.

Remember, the US has federalism. Power is shared between the states and the federal government. The federal government dont have the manpower to literally put people in concentration camps, not yet.

If you live in a red state or red city, move, now. Move to a Blue State and Blue City.

Federalism is our last defence against fascism. Democracy might be dying, but it aint dead yet. The Climate however, thats another story :(

Only thing an average person can do is try to get people to vote, midterms, presidential, local. Every election Primary or General. Low turnout in Primary could lead to disasterous candidates.

He aint even hiding the fact that trump his puppet. 🤣

Lemming, I present to you, 47th President of the United States, Vladimir Putin.

Sorry Ukrainians, I voted for Harris, I tried. Don't know what my fellow countrymen were doing. 🤷‍♂️

If they want nukes, they better get it done before January. Otherwise I can see the future where Zelenskyy is tried in a russian kangaroo court of "Possession of WMDs".

Thats the small hope I'm hanging on to. Federalism might save our country from fascism. Hopefully...

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but when the reddit protests were happening, I used Lemmy for a bit then decided to detox from "social media" for a while till now. Am I misinterpreting the activity here?
