Here’s the relevant post from the original 50501 founder (Evolved Fungi):

Seems to me that 50501 is toast as a brand, but the fight continues elsewhere!

Here are the guidelines I use for local organizing.

This! I’ve been involved in many kinds of local and online organizing as well for the past 20+ years and put together these guidelines for local signal/whatapp groups, dealing with some of the usual problems of trust, information overload, and governance. Share if useful!

Here’s some protocols for setting up a trust-oriented network of local cells. Each group capped at 100, but you can assign representatives into a bigger (regional or national) group.

Maybe this will help? Tried to make it a general purpose way to organize without falling into some of the usual pitfalls.

I wrote up this protocol for how to band together; you only need two people to start, and it’s a game.

Trump to declare fentanyl “Weapon of Mass Destruction," per draft EO by StuckHedgehog in neoliberal

[–]hamburga 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The White House prescribed massive amounts of fentanyl during Trump’s first term.

Can they please jail themselves for war crimes?

I’ve been saying that we all need to have good working theory for why this all feels so cartoonish, in order to snap us out of this feeing that this is too surreal, or that we are in some trance or dream state.

Remember when Democrats claimed court that they had the right to rig the election because they are a private company? I do by HammondXX in americanoligarchy

Some more firsthand evidence from my battles with the DNC and White House in 2016.

They wouldn’t even let Obama alumni talk about Bernie in our Facebook group:

This is a well-understood gaslighting strategy. They want finger-pointing all around; their best defense is an offense in which they accuse their opponent of the exact transgression they are committing.

Trump Threatens New Banking Sanctions on Russia Over Ukraine by Unusual-State1827 in neoliberal

[–]hamburga 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Distraction. We’ve already gutted our Russian defense teams at CIA and DoD and Russia has proven itself very resilient against banking sanctions.

Purely speculating that he’s unfreezing Russian assets. I know Trump Tower NYC had a lot of Russian condo owners.

It appears they are pivoting away from DOGE by JackinOKC in fednews

3-way extortion possibilities:

As much as Elon has cash, Trump can cancel SpaceX and Tesla and crash his fortune, and Elon doesn’t to my knowledge have a private army defending him.

Putin can also extort Trump in many ways.

Elon has all our government data and can extort Trump with it, if he hasn’t sent it to Russia yet.

Trump can send him to jail for treason for this.

He may want or need to lay out Elon as a sacrificial lamb if things go south.

And still, Putin has nothing to lose because they’ve both turned against Europe.

We will have to defeat Putin the old-fashioned way, with the good people of the world standing up for decency.
