I remember when the US first popularized the term "rogue state" to describe belligerant, dangerous countries that refuse to comply with international obligations. Little did I know it would turn out to be us.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

One colossal problem with concentrating so much of what matters in the hands of big private companies is that a fascist like Trump can force them to heel, and then we all suffer the consequences.

The TikTok ban (soon to be lifted) is a gift to Trump. It allows him to signal to businesses that he controls their on-off switch. That’s the message of dictators.
