There WON'T BE any rural hospitals. Those who can afford it will pay for "helicopter insurance" to cover the increasingly likely event that they will need to be airlifted ($50,000 and up) to a real hospital which can no longer be found locally.

The rest will die a lot.

@RealJournalism

The Resistance in WW2 operated in great secrecy by people who appeared to be collaborating fully with the Nazis.

Citroen made trucks for the Nazis.
They didn't have much choice about that.
So they made the dipsticks a little too long, so they would read "plenty of oil" when they should have read "add lots of oil right now".
Needless to say, these trucks broke down a lot.

Didn't the villain in "Psycho" wear a mask like that?

Where did you go?

@skinnylatte

Can you see if the car was reported stolen?

Elon Musk lived in apartheid South Africa until he was 17. David Sacks, the ven­ture cap­it­al­ist who has become a fun­draiser for Don­ald Trump and a troll of Ukraine, left aged five, and grew up in a South African dia­spora fam­ily in Ten­nessee. Peter Thiel spent years of child­hood in South Africa and Nam­i­bia, where his father was involved in uranium min­ing as part of the apartheid regime’s clandes­tine drive to acquire nuc­lear weapons. And Paul Furber, an obscure South African soft­ware developer and tech journ­al­ist liv­ing near Johan­nes­burg, has been iden­ti­fied by two teams of forensic lin­guists as the ori­gin­ator of the QAnon con­spir­acy, which helped shape Trump’s Maga move­ment. (Furber denies being “Q”.)

@eff

Some of the most effective resisters were very nice, seemingly loyal "Good Germans", while they were hiding Jews in their attic.

@jeffowski

What strategy is even possible now that they have taken over the country?

@StillIRise1963 @alexadeswift

Those are a start, but Gancio seems to have instances only in Europe (except for one in Montreal, Canada)

Mobilizon has one US instance for the entire country, and a limited number of categories for events. Mostly seems to be used for book club stuff. Pretty obvious that going out dancing isn't a thing for the mobilizon.us userbase.

This need to be more mainstream, and better integrated with Mastodon.

@jcast @John

We need to take note of who they are making up lies about, because they put the object of those lies in grave danger.

@futurebird

The Fediverse needs to support EVENTS before it can replace Facebook.

@John

@atomicpoet We need events if we are ever to replace Facebook. I know it is being worked on, and there is a test server somewhere, but it needs to be more widely deployed.

Bypassing Amazon has saved me a few hundred dollars this year.

It's What I call "Amazonless Prime Day".

Find a deal on the Amazon site, then go to the manufacturer's own site and find the same deal, with a coupon to sweeten it further.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @joeinwynnewood

Who is the "AIAN" group that is even higher?

@mekkaokereke

The camps will consist of a bunch of tents in the middle of the desert. They can erect them faster than we can organize any action to stop them.

Ultimately, the only way to fight this will be to hide those who they would send to the camps and help them to flee the country (just as that was the only effective way to resist the Nazis in Germany when they were in power).

If you ARE one of those they would send to the camps (and I think many of us are) get your passport if you don't already have one!
 
@dalias

@benroyce @aral The Fediverse is designed to be a decentralized replacement for Twitter. It lacks many of the features of Facebook, such as events and invitations thereto.

@Wileymiller @MugsysRapSheet @PandaChronicle @GottaLaff The "Trump-and-Dump" (to coin a phrase) will come as a COMPETE surprise to his fans, some of whom invested their meager life savings. Hopefully that will turn them into not-fans on Election Day.

@GottaLaff @Yup_Its_Holly I'm beginning to see why you didn't wait until after the election to flee.
