One of the most important things going forwards, no matter what, is that we remember what was done, and hold people accountable. We shouldn't let the stupid things this new administration does be something which we don't keep records about. We need to make sure we keep track of each bit of bullshit, so that when they try to flush it all down the drain to hide their tracks, we've got the receipts to push into their faces.
Maybe we can't give them any repercussions in the end, but we can sure as hell ensure the way they're remembered for all the shit they cause.
I completely agree! Even if there’s little to be hopeful about, we can make sure that we’re resisting and not sitting by passively.

Remember: the more difficult you make it for them to realize a report is false, the more useless you make the portal.
Again when people say our protests are doing nothing…..
SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN!! LOOK AT THIS SIZE!! DC TURNED OUT!! (Not my pics since I got them from reddit and I had a burner 🤣)
And it’s NOTHING compared to BOSTON’S!!!!
Again guys….things are grim but they are NOT over yet!!!
Remember! Fascism ONLY WINS IF we let it!!
“Trump is corrupt. So corrupt, in fact, that it is kind of alarming to me that we are not talking about his corruption even more than we are already talking about it. I mean, his family started some damn crypto companies and then he, as president, declared that he is going to get the US government to buy a ton of crypto. He is directly selling off pardons and commutations to felons who can pay adequate bribes. He is firing prosecutors who are Democrats and installing buffoonish loyalists in important legal positions, so they can conduct witch hunts on his behalf. The world’s biggest and most complex corporations have been reduced to paying bribes in order to directly beg the president for their priorities, at the club the president owns.”

In Case you have to deal with bad faith whining about Garcia Abrego's knuckle tattoos. (oh scary he has tattoos on his hand).
Lets review the timeline real quick in regards to the tattoos. Detailed timeline available here -
https://abcnews.go.com/US/timeline-wrongful-deportation-kilmar-abrego-garcia-el-salvador/story?id=120803843
3/15 Kilmar Garcia Abrego is detained by ICE. Sent to an El Salvador prison, CECOT without due process.
4/1 Media and a legal defense raise public interest. ICE and the federal admin make excuses, 'detained in error, but declared a gang member' etc, after the Trump admin 5 or 6 years prior had ruled he was in the country legally.
4/17 A photo op is arranged to show Abrego is alive, meets with Senator Van Hollen.
4/18 Trump holds up his photoshopped 'translation' of the cartoonish knuckle tattoos, a picture first published from El Salvador Dictator and sketchy cartel affiliate/bitcoin bro Nayib Bukele.
So Let's see- they detain a guy, the case goes to the highest court, and then almost a month later they say 'whelp look at these weird prison tattoos sideways and its totally just like all the members of MS-13 who have MS-13 on their body spelled with the four characters M and S and 1 and 3 the only difference being these tattoos aren't those characters. Bro we knew he was in the gang. And now that he's in our complete control, we didn't tie him down and tattoo some random shit on his knuckles, trust us bro, who would do something like that? Just tattooing markings on a prisoner who was denied legal recourse based on ethnic assumptions? We're not like the last people who famously did that at all- trust us bro. We just waited until the case had been in the highest courts before showing you this totally reliable photo.
Also if you look at his staged photo with the Senator? He's hiding his hands under the table- probably because they just held him down and randomly tattooed him? Regardless if this is just a theory or not- he had been processed and found innocent several times, and this is just some half baked "Fuck the Constitution, America has a King now, and we can hurt whoever we want, yeehaw racism is amazing again" motherfuckery. But for my money that photo op is a picture of a guy forced to dress like a fucking tourist and experiencing body horror after having been marked up by fucking monsters, all because he wanted to send at least one last message to his wife and child.
And if you think any of that benefits America in any positive way, I hope you fucking drink bleach, and chase it down with horse wormer, and I hope you get every cruel perverted nonsensical whimsy the Mad King can cook up. You people are a minority in America and your hate movement is on borrowed time.
the wayback machine is under threat. without it, digital censorship gains another foothold.
