There's nuance here about "how do we use platforms owned by the fascists". You *have to understand the political purpose of the platforms* in order to use them to subvert authoritarians. For the most part, Americans simply do not. Centrists (including DNC consultants) do not. Major media does not.
Key lessons from Brazil Amplify our people. Ignore the opposition. Use the tools owned by fascists to defeat the fascists? Meet the people where they are. May need to reconsider my staunch position of boycotting Meta for the reason. Thoughts?

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

This should be seen as the image of liberalism in times of fascism: a zeppelin, named after the aging and dying liberal president who courted Hitler and the nazis out of contempt for the Left, burning and falling from the sky as a direct result of the nazis rolling back safety protocols.

this person was never meaningfully leftist, and certainly not in recent memory. saying this is just a way of saying you had your feelings hurt by then-young people on twitter in 2011. this woman is like 55 now and a paglia cosplayer
I'm not saying every "dirtbag leftist" was and is an amoral garbage bag, but I'm not not saying that.
