  1. Wow, y’all. Let’s talk about the FBI turning into #47’s Praetorian Guard. Now, I’m not fan of human walrus John #Bolton. He’s been a republican hawk for longer than I’ve been alive. He proudly supported the Vietnam war, but deferred his own deployment, leaving the rest of us with names on a black wall instead of fathers and brothers. He’s always been willing to throw poor people into battle as long as the elites were never bothered. I do not care for Bolton.

    So part of me wants to giggle when the force of the State is turned against those who have harmed us. But I’m also an ethicist, and I recognize the very real danger in having a madman using the FBI to terrorize a citizen because the madman is upset about something the citizen said on #Fox.

    Apropos of nothing really, have y’all ever read the #SimpleSabotageFieldManual by the CIA? It’s online. It’s a fun little jaunt through how America used to think people should deal with authoritarianism. Funny, that.

  3. People need to figure out how to throw wrenches in the oppression machine.
    Non-violently.
    There are literally a million ways to screw them up when you decide to no longer comply.
    The closer you are to power and the machinery the more effective your wrench throwing.
    I'm already making my own plans....

  4. You know what they didn't have when they wrote the #SimpleSabotageFieldManual?
    - Superglue
    - Innocent seeming films and plastics
    - Ubiquitous, public touchscreens, fingerprint scanners, RFID keycard access
    - Neodynium and refrigerator magnets
    All of the above, and others are common things to have in a bag or pocket, but used with purpose....?

    #Fascism is not individuals, it is a machine, a regime, it requires working systems, access, lack of delay, the air of efficiency and seeming confidence.

  5. Where destruction is involved, the weapons of the citizen-saboteur are salt, nails, candles, pebbles, thread, or any other materials he might normally be expected to possess as a householder or as a worker in his particular occupation. His arsenal is the kitchen shelf, the trash pile, his own usual kit of tools and supplies. The targets of his sabotage are usually objects to which he has normal and inconspicuous access in everyday life.
