      Did you read the article?

      Don’t count on it.

    Things are escalating quickly. Good job, everyone. Maybe it can trigger a coup.

      If they hold tight for a while, it’s going to be wild… I fear international business lords won’t let it happen.

    Good. Love to see it.

    Starve the beast. Don’t pay your taxes either. Go to HR and change your tax withholding to tax exempt.

    You’ll catch fines eventually. But in the meantime your check will be a little bigger and you’ll be denying tax funds to a fascist government.

    If we ever get a sane government I’ll pay those fines happily.

    Rest of the world understands solidarity better than U.S. voters

        It means I should have read the article before I posted that.

          I actually agree that Americans don’t understand solidarity, because they’re soaked in neoliberal, individualistic ideology. But even if they did understand, they’re so lacking in class consciousness that they wouldn’t know what to rally around.

    Edit: this isn’t about the article itself so much as an idea it gave me. Companies are refusing quotes for legal, not political, reasons. But they should be refusing for political reasons, something those of us in the US must start doing ourselves.

    I’m obviously not happy it came to this. But, with the US being a genocidal, neofascist oligarchy, it’s entirely necessary. This is real, we are the resistance, and we need to start acting like it before we get disappeared. It is absolutely the duty of every country that values equality, liberty, and solidarity to implement a total blockade on the United States and seek maximum sanctions until the genocide in Gaza ends, until threats of US expansionism end, and until the people reject neofascism, whether in the midterms, in a coup, or in a revolution.

    For those living in the US and allied countries, it is our moral imperative to sabotage and destroy all machinery in the US that is being used or soon will be used by fascists. Just be careful who you target and be sure you know why you’re targeting them. (Vandaling small Black businesses accomplished nothing. Targeting ICE will make you a hero.) Make evidence-based vandalism and sabotage your playbook to buy time for immigrants, trans people, Muslims, and Jews in your community by slowing the machinery of ethnic cleansing before it’s too late. (I worry it may already be too late.) See:

    Red Flag Alert for Genocide - United States

    What the US is doing is based in an ideology of manifest destiny, liebensraum, expansionism, imperialism, and colonialism. See:

    United States including Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal Zone according to designs proposed by Donald Trump

    P.S. If you do anything, don’t tell me. Anyone can be a fed or a militant neofascist infiltrator.
