I had the same thoughts!

This 100%

We should all apply this sentiment from Churchill to the current situation. Every little act of resistance adds up.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

I agree with everything you said. None of us knows what might happen.

But for everyone out there screaming "Do something!" (Myself included), this is undoubtedly something.

The alternative is to do nothing in fear of what Trump might do.

That's what Trump wants. He has the power that he's given. To acquiesce is to grant him power.

That's what every law firm and university that's capitulated to Trump has done, so I'll support Van Hollen's open defiance any day of the week.

He's probably about as safe as anyone can be. A sitting US senator is among the most powerful people in the world.

Would Trump gladly imprison Van Hollen in a foreign concentration camp? Absolutely.

We're not there yet, and acts of resistance, no matter how small, are how we prevent us from getting there in the first place.

They 100% don't care, even if they know. That said, this ruling is absolutely the right thing and maybe, just maybe, some ICE agents will be held in contempt.

President Donald Trump has moved to fire several senior White House National Security Council officials soon after he was urged by far-right activist Laura Loomer to purge staffers she deemed insufficiently committed to his Make America Great Again agenda, according to several people familiar with the matter Thursday

This part kills me. Firing people on the advice of Laura Loomer! My God.

All good!

Tbh, "it's a bot posting AI slop" is prob a good default assumption these days.

Yeah, this is more of a tabloid; I should've found a better source before posting. Here's an Axios article about the same thing:

That's what I do. Jellyfin + Tailscale + Apple TV box. It works like a charm.

I think it's becoming more necessary with every passing day. I don't trust reddit, not with the Trump regime in power.

I personally really like Cryptpad. I haven't heard of Fileverse, so I'll check it out. Cryptpad is the closest thing I've found to a drop-in Google Suite replacement.

There's actually a part of me that finds this heartening. This guy is completely and utterly ignorant, but he's not a cultist.
