The tree of liberty must at times be watered with the blood of patriots. What is the Second Amendment for, if not for moments such as this? “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
It’s being blocked from the main pages of every mainstream American media source, including social media and mainstream “alternative media”, usually relegated to the second or third page, but you can usually see it on !politics@lemmy.world, !news@lemmy.world, and !50501@piefed.social as well as on Mastodon. There’s millions of people protesting, tens of thousands at some places.

Ironfox seems to work well on Android.
But you just described Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Didn’t even get to keep 50 square kilometers of barren wasteland.
I wonder how long until the US is nuked? Or at least actually attacked, militarily.
France’s thermonuclear arsenal says hello.
I wonder how they got that one judge’s daughter’s tax records with full name, place of employment and real signature.
And for the love of god do not switch over to another American company, or any company, go FOSS and decentralized
But the boycott is still an important part of the social movement, isn’t it? Even if, as in the Delano Grape Strike, it takes a decade or more to force change, with plenty of activists disappearing, arrested, tortured, or killed.
You could try installing UnPaywall or 12ft Free (if on Edge or Chrome), or Bypass Paywalls Clean on Firefox/Fennec/etc. These bypass paywalls. I also suggest uBlock Origin with all filters enabled.
Unfortunately, the reality is that OSM (what Organic Maps gets its data from) is volunteer-run, and most likely nobody’s gotten to the bus stops near you yet. The GOOD news is that OSM is easily editable with something like Street Complete on Android, Open Stop on either iOS or Android, or from the comfort of your home on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ . There’s other apps too, like EveryDoor and GoMap!! for iOS and Mac. If there’s something missing, please feel free to add it, and get in touch with others in your area to help contribute! I’ve done my own share of updating outdated places, adding new locations, and annotating stuff like street lighting, street surfaces, and so on.
So you’re saying that the 1965-1970 Delano Grape Strike and subsequent 10-year supermarket grape boycotts were useless and didn’t cause any real change? Or the Montgomery Bus Boycott?
Lemme know what the inside of the concentration camp is like. I hear it’s to die for.
I mean we all knew Google’s new motto was “do evil” already, this isn’t surprising.
Not typing their plans on the clearnet.
It’s because it is, it’s literally the end goal. Look up Balaji Srinivasan, the guy that came up with the idea of replacing traditional nation-states with decentralized, corporate-run regions, and wrote about it in a whole-ass book called “The Network State: How To Start a New Country”. These assholes read cyberpunk and decided it was an excellent idea because they all thought they’d be Arasaka or Pharmakom.
That’s why word-of-mouth about the Fediverse is so powerful - and why it’ll become increasingly important to return to the old methods of organizing - in person, posters put up at night, meetings in basements and in homes, discussions in back alleys and storage closets. Zines and fliers.
How’s it going?
