@thomholwerda GAWD but I miss Radio Nederland Wereldomroep. {sigh}

@alexwild Global fascist network birthed by international organized crime. It parallels crime organizations.

@spencexyz Yes--Hashtags are essential for finding the content and people you want in the Fediverse. And I thought @smellsofbikes might have noticed this thread by now, but I guess not so I'll tag him. This is right up his alley.

@ChrisMayLA6 If the US media is doing anything, it's downplaying such events, and Trump has telegraphed that he covets the Insurrection Act as much as he covets a Nobel Peace Prize. The younger protesting set has no direct memory of the Lunch Counter Protests that launched the Civil Rights actions of the 50s and 60s, but the advice they're getting from their elders was indeed successfully implemented back then--Never strike back, but firmly hold your ground no matter what brickbats are thrown your way. One bit of payback coming from you results in an excuse for them.

This was true back then and it remains true today.
