For folks still in doubt - next they will come for gay people, then the disabled of all ages & all forms of disabilities, but watch for kids w/Down's syndrome, then adults who have outlived their usefulness. It won't stop there because they're already putting homeless in work camps. They've already made noise about institutionalizing autistic kids & adults. No one in the US will be safe from persecution excpt conservative white males with avg or above intelligence

"Trump🚨just endorsed a post calling for the arrests of Chris Wray and Merrick Garland.

There's almost no media coverage of the sitting president supporting the arrest of a former FBI director and former Attorney General."
-K Griffin

My search for media outlets acknowledging Trump's support of the arrest of Wray & Garland: Newsmax & Fox News, but thankfully I found:⚡Meidas News.

"During the , German Protestant theologians redefined Jesus as an Aryan and as a religion at war with . These theologians established the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life. It became the most important propaganda organ of German Protestantism, producing a nazified Christianity that placed anti-Semitism at its theological center." https://newbooksnetwork.com/the-aryan-jesus

Today in Labor History December 13, 1896, Lucia Sanchez Saornil was born in Madrid, Spain. Anarcha-feminist, poet and member of the militant union, CNT, she also cofounded Mujeres Libres, in response to the sexism within the anarchist movement. Its goal was to fight for women's liberation from their "triple enslavement" by ignorance, sexism and exploitation. Mujeres Libres ultimately grew into a movement of over 30,000 people. After the fascists defeated the Republicans in the Civil War, she briefly went into exile in France, but later returned and lived clandestinely within Francoist Spain until her death in 1970, barely escaping capture by the Nazis, when they overtook France. During the war, she wrote articles about anarchism and feminism in the FAI's magazine Tierra y Libertad and the CNT's newspaper Solidaridad Obrera. She also corresponded with Emma Goldman, inspiring her to organizing international support for the anti-fascist cause. You can see her …

If you're calling Robin Ince "a troublemaker" then what the hell is going on at the BBC? Did he object to the Genocide in Gaza, is that it?

Will he be denounced as a terrorist by Nigel Farage and the BBC forced to fire him so Nigel isn't upset?

What the actual fuck is going on here?!

While Meta and other American big tech companies are banning LGBTQ+ accounts to censor the LGBTQ+ communities, we need to fight back.

People should have the right to freely express themselves, share their stories, resources to help each other and enjoy free, safe and inclusive spaces.

It's clear that we will have to fight to defend basic freedoms that are threatened by the Trump Administration worldwide. Fediverse is the real bastion of real freedom o speech and expression and we will need to keep it that way and strenghten it.

Very much enjoyed this talk of Adnan Husein with Alana Lentin.

Lentin makes a good case that Zionism is where Western racial fascism and colonialism have always been headed. Clarified a lot to me about the hasbara "the West is next" and the unconditional support of Western governments and the support of fascists for Zionism.

They talk about many things, like CRT, the antisemitism of anti-antisemitism, and how anti-colonial and anti-racism concepts/terminology are used in service of the colonialism and racism of the status quo. Sounds like a very interesting book, good analysis.

Destroying Autocracy – December 11, 2025 Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.

It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.

FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.

This is the penultimate edition of Destroying Autocracy with the final one coming December 25th. We have friends in town so there will not be one next week.

The disabled were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis because they knew people wouldn’t fight for us.

They knew that most people see the disabled as an expendable, so it’s easy to commit atrocities against us.

They called us “useless eaters” and threw us away

Trump using the R slur is not a mistake. It’s not a slip up. It’s not him just being a cranky old man.

He’s testing the waters.

He’s trying to see what he can get away with.

He’s furthering a eugenicist agenda.
