HeavenlyPossum<p>I don’t understand why people are perpetually surprised by Donald Trump’s actions. His behavior follows a very simple pattern: if he is promising to hurt someone or break something, he is telling the truth. Otherwise, he is lying. That’s it! There is no magic involved.</p>

Firestorm Books<p>Tomorrow dozens of national organizations are teaming up to host protests in cities across the United States. With hundreds of thousands of people hitting the streets for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic, there’s a growing need to widely disseminate information on keeping ourselves and others safe. To that end, we’re sharing a new zine based on text from PrivacyGuides.org, which includes best practices and helpful tips for smartphone security, protests, and mass surveillance. You can read and download the free guide at <a href="https://archive.org/details/protesters-guide-to-smartphone-security" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/protesters</span><span class="invisible">-guide-to-smartphone-security</span></a>.</p><p>In Asheville, protesters will be rallying in Pack Square from 11am to 1pm. Members of our collective will be there distributing copies of “The Protesters’ Guide to Smartphone Security” along with practical zines for folks interested in taking effective action against fascism.</p><p>Looking for more opportunities to pick up introductory materials? We maintain a table of free resources at Firestorm that we think everyone should read!

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>“Thus Nazism, as it proceeded from practice to theory, had to deny expertness in thinking and then (this second process was never completed), in order to fill the vacuum, had to establish expert thinking of its own—that is, to find men of inferior or irresponsible caliber whose views conformed dishonestly or, worse yet, honestly to the Party line. The nonpolitical pastor satisfied Nazi requirements by being nonpolitical. But the nonpolitical schoolmaster was, by the very virtue of being nonpolitical, a dangerous man from the first. He himself would not rebel, nor would he, if he could help it, teach rebellion; but he could not help being dangerous—not if he went on teaching what was true. In order to be a theory and not just a practice, National Socialism required the destruction of academic independence.”</p><p>― Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45</p>
