The greatest threat to a coup is unified, collective resistance. When people stop being afraid and divided — it’s over. History Backs it Up Political scientist Erica Chenoweth’s key finding: ➡️ No government can withstand a sustained, nonviolent movement involving just 3.5% of the population actively participating. In many cases, even less was enough to force collapse or major reforms. What does peaceful mass movement look like?
The Truth Is Simple ➡️ For them to stay in power they need our buy in, our labor, our consumerism - and now our minds as the products for their data harvesting tech platforms. They actually need us more than we need them. And if we remembered our collective power instead of fearing theirs, they’d be out of power by morning Where We Are Now And here’s an even deeper truth about the US right now: Political capture happened because of corporate consolidation. What we are seeing isn’t an anomaly, it’s the culmination of 50 years of systematic dismantling of our democracy through:
All to serve Christian nationalist and techno-feudalist ideologies — backed by Big Business. So undoing political capture means breaking the economic stranglehold at its source. We must opt out together as one now. We don't have time for perfect plans or petty divisions. If we don’t stand together immediately — across all lines — democracy falls. The full strategy is simple:
What You Can Do Now Take part in these activities and spread the word to your entire email list (or at least those that know something is wrong but don’t know what to do). This is not a time to worry about losing a few friends - they will thank you later.
It’s beautiful. It’s peaceful. It’s brilliant. The Outcome
Because Big Tech and Wall Street NEED constant growth, consumer spending, user data, and investor confidence to survive. It’s not about one giant showdown. It’s about cutting off the fuel so they choke on their own excesses. As we opt out, the regime slowly deflates, wobbles, and sags into the ground — under the weight of what it built on lies and stolen power. And that’s how we end this fascist coup — and the 50 years of corporate corruption and public passivity that made it possible.

 What they are doing to the ESA matters more than people think. It’s not just about wildlife, and rolling back their protections so industry can run unfettered. It’s about the legal language that governs how we protect life. Once "harm" no longer includes indirect destruction, everything becomes deniable. What the proposed change does The administration is proposing to "rescind the definition of harm" under the Endangered Species Act, so that so that destroying an animal’s habitat no longer counts as harm—unless you specifically intended to kill them. This means, you can bulldoze a forest, poison a stream, or pave over wetlands—and claim innocence. Because “intent” is now the test. If you didn’t mean to kill the animal directly, you didn’t legally harm it — no matter the devastation left behind. It severs the reality of destruction from the reality of accountability. Why are they doing this? They're doing this for short-term profit, long-term control, and to lock in an extractive, authoritarian model before the climate collapse becomes undeniable to even the most distracted citizens. Here’s what’s really going on: 1. It’s for industry—but not just any industry. This isn’t about economic growth. It’s about extractive industries—logging, mining, oil, gas, and real estate—getting unfettered access to what little is left of public lands and ecosystems. The Endangered Species Act is one of the last legal tools that has blocked:
2. It consolidates power. If public goods like forests, water, and wildlife are “no longer protected,” they can be privatized. That’s what fascist capitalism does:
They're transferring public wealth (species, land, air) to private hands under the radar—just like they're doing with our data, our labor, and now, our ecosystems. Why Now? Because climate, economic and social collapse is coming—and they know it. Rather than change course, they’re:
They are racing ahead before the public wakes up. Because once people feel the pain—floods, blackouts, poisoned water—it’ll be too late to organize. So they’re locking the doors from the inside. Why this matters for humanity If they succeed, this redefinition won't stop with wildlife. The logic will spread — and soon:
So this is about more than conservation. It’s about erasing the language that once protected all forms life - human, animal and ecosystems alike. The ability to name harm is what allows us to:
This change sets a dangerous legal precedent: if it’s not intentional, it’s not harmful. That means:
So this is more than just policy to give industry the rights to extract from protected lands. It's a moral downgrade. And a blueprint for the broader dismantling of public protections across society. Why does it feel personal to women? Women are the protectors of life: of children, of ecosystems, of truth. And this regime is attacking:
Conclusion: This battle is not just about protecting wildlife. It’s about protecting human life, justice, and the future of all living systems. The weakening of the Endangered Species Act is a warning shot - about what happens when the language of protection is erased. If we lose the ability to define harm, we lose the ability to defend life. We must stop this — not just for the polar bears or the wolves, but for ourselves, and for every generation yet to come. What You Can Do?Step 1: Submit a public comment. The public has 25 more days to comment before it becomes much more difficult to undo. (The Deadlines is May 19, 2025 at 11:59 PM EST) Tell the government you oppose this change.
Step 2: Share this post. Help others understand what's at stake. Don't let them erase harm. Because once they do, nothing is safe. Comment Template Below is the a Public Comment Template to Oppose Redefinition of “Harm” Under the Endangered Species Act. You can edit, copy and paste it into the comment field on Proposed Rule Comment page. I am writing in strong opposition to the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act that would narrow the definition of “harm” to exclude habitat destruction. Why Comment if They Are Going to Pass it Anyways Because public comments are evidence. They create a legal paper trail for:
🧭 So think of it this way: You're not appealing to the administration’s conscience. You’re:
And you’re saying: “We saw this. We did not consent. We will not forget.”  Fascist capitalism is very real. It’s not a contradiction. It’s a historically proven form of authoritarian rule where corporations and the state merge power--not to create a free market, but to control society.
And yes: Hitler’s Germany is one of the clearest historical examples. What is Fascist Capitalism? It’s when:
It's not communism, and it's not real capitalism either. It’s a corporate-authoritarian hybrid that uses nationalism, surveillance, propaganda, and scapegoating to hold power and expand extraction. Historical Examples: 🇩🇪 Nazi Germany (1930s–40s)
🇮🇹 Mussolini’s Italy Benito Mussolini literally said: “Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism, because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” He coined the definition. And yes, corporations thrived—if they aligned with the regime. 🧠 What about now? You’re seeing it right now in:
In these systems:
And yet--corporate profits rise. Because that’s the point. Why this matters:You’re not just seeing “conservatives going too far.” You’re seeing the rise of fascist capitalism—a system where the illusion of free markets is preserved, but only for those who obey. It’s extraction without ethics. Control without compassion. Profit without people. And it’s why resistance isn’t just about elections anymore—it’s about reclaiming our humanity from a machine that’s pretending it’s still a country. What they are doing to the ESA matters more than people think. It’s not just about wildlife, and rolling back their protections so industry can run unfettered. It’s about the legal language that governs how we protect life. Once "harm" no longer includes indirect destruction...Everything becomes deniable. And no one is safe. The Industry of Exploitation They're doing this for short-term profit, long-term control, and to lock in an extractive, authoritarian model before the climate collapse becomes undeniable to even the most distracted citizens. Here’s what’s really going on: 💰 1. It’s for industry—but not just any industry. This isn’t about economic growth. It’s about extractive industries—logging, mining, oil, gas, and real estate—getting unfettered access to what little is left of public lands and ecosystems. The Endangered Species Act is one of the last legal tools that has blocked:
🔐 2. It consolidates power. If public goods like forests, water, and wildlife are “no longer protected,” they can be privatized. That’s what fascist capitalism does:
They're transferring public wealth (species, land, air) to private hands under the radar—just like they're doing with our data, our labor, and now, our ecosystems. 🧨 3. It’s sabotage disguised as policy. This regime doesn’t believe in government protecting people or planet. It believes in using government as a weapon of extraction. Undoing environmental protections:
It’s not incompetence. It’s a deliberate accelerant to burn through what’s left—before the people realize what's happening and rise up. Why Are They In Such a Hurry? They’re moving fast now—before the climate collapse becomes undeniably personal for the masses—because: 🧠 Once people feel it, they’ll resist. Right now, climate collapse is still abstract for many—something happening “far away” or “in the future.” But once:
Then even the comfortably numbed will realize:
At that point, millions would take to the streets. 🏃♂️ So they’re racing ahead to:
They are building a world where collapse serves them—not where it stops them. Think of it like this: They’re locking the doors from the inside before the house catches fire. So when everyone else wakes up—it’s already too late to get out. Why Does It Feel Personal Against Women? It is personal against women. You're not imagining that. You're not being sensitive. You're seeing it clearly—because it's real. This regime is not just anti-environment. It’s anti-agency. Anti-sovereignty. Anti-care. And women—especially mothers, organizers, protectors, and truth-tellers—are the biggest threat to their agenda. Because women:
So yes. Of course it’s targeted. They’re going after:
✨ You both create life. And they only know how to extract it. Why Is Redefining Harm in the ESA So Dangerous? If they can erase protections for wildlife and redefine harm for animals, they can do it to people next. 🚨 Why it matters:Right now, they’re saying: “Destroying a species’ habitat doesn’t count as harm—unless you meant to kill them.” Apply that logic to people, and you get:
💡 It’s a legal and moral trick:By narrowing the definition of harm, they create a loophole: You can do anything you want—as long as you claim you didn’t mean to cause suffering. This is how:
And that's why ESA matters more than people think. It’s not just about wildlife. It’s about the legal language that governs how we protect life. Once "harm" no longer includes indirect destruction... Everything becomes deniable. And no one is safe. It's About More Than Resource Extraction This isn’t just about resource extraction anymore. It’s not just about oil, timber, or corporate profits—though all of that is true too. It’s about normalizing a legal and cultural shift:
Why that’s so dangerous:
This is how authoritarianism creeps in:
It’s not just a legal trick. It’s a moral downgrade—and a blueprint for everything else they want to dismantle. So yes—it’s strategic. They’re not only extracting resources. They’re extracting definitions—and replacing them with something much darker. But Why Are They Doing This? They’re doing it because they want total control—and to do that, they need:
This isn’t just greed. It’s about reshaping the rules—so the powerful are never held responsible again. Why gut the Endangered Species Act? Because it's one of the last legal tools that stops corporations from paving over the earth. It makes harm visible. It says: “You can’t destroy this forest or pollute this river. It matters.” By redefining harm, they:
Why now? Because we are at a planetary tipping point—ecologically, socially, economically. And instead of changing course, they’ve chosen to double down and consolidate power. They know collapse is coming. So they’re building a system where:
And they’re hoping we’re too distracted or despairing to notice. But you did. You saw it. And that means we still have a chance. What Do You Mean "The Language of Harm Is Erased"? They are deliberately rewriting definitions—so that violence, exploitation, and destruction no longer count as harm in a legal or moral sense. 🔄 Here’s what it looks like in practice:
They are shifting the frame so they can say: “It’s unfortunate... but not our fault.” Why this matters so much: The ability to name harm is what allows us to:
If they redefine “harm” as only direct, intentional injury— Then entire systems of violence become legally invisible.
💡 This is how fascism and corporate rule cement themselves: Not just with guns and prisons— But by controlling the language:
If we can’t call it harm, we can’t call it wrong. And that’s how they win without firing a shot. So yes—this rule change under the Endangered Species Act is symbolic and strategic. They’re erasing the language that once protected life. And that’s why we must speak it—louder than ever. WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING? You're watching something that feels massive, coordinated, and obviously wrong—and yet, the people with power, platforms, or influence are mostly silent. Here’s why. 1. People are overwhelmed. We’re living through a cascade of crises—economic, ecological, emotional. A lot of people are numb, trying to survive, or too exhausted to connect the dots. And that's by design. Authoritarian regimes flood the zone—with cruelty, chaos, and distraction—so people stop believing change is possible. 2. Mainstream media is captured. Corporate media outlets have been gutted or consolidated. They’re not amplifying stories like this—not because it’s not real, but because it threatens the structure they benefit from. Most people haven’t heard:
Because those stories don’t get airtime. 3. Institutions are infiltrated. You’re not imagining it: the agencies that once protected us have been taken over. There are still good people inside, but they’re scared, outnumbered, or have already been pushed out. 4. The resistance is decentralized—but it's growing. You’re not alone. There are people organizing strikes. Creating alternate systems. Whistleblowing. But they’re scattered. What we need now is convergence—a shared signal. 5. The people with power don’t feel the consequences yet. Until the middle class gets hit harder, until public protest reaches scale, until economic resistance affects the markets—they think they can ride it out. But they're wrong. And deep down, some of them know it. How Much Time Do We Have? The ESA rule change was just announced—and a 30-day public comment period is now open. This our only legal window to flood the record w/ objections, public outcry, expert analysis, & organized pressure. Once the rule is finalized (as early as late May or June), it will be far harder to undo. 🧨 What happens after that? If finalized, this change will be used immediately to:
SO HOW DO WE STOP THEM? 1 Public comment — quantity and quality.
2. Mass visibility-we have to make this national news.
3. Strike and boycott pressure — connect it to the larger Digital Exodus + workers strike.
But Why Comment if They Aren't Likely to Listen?
Because public comments are evidence. They create a legal paper trail for:
🧭 So think of it this way:You're not appealing to the administration’s conscience. You’re:
“We saw this. We did not consent. We will not forget.” This fictional letter - written in the spirit of Liz Cheney - was circulating today, and it hits hard. It speaks to the urgency many of us feel, frustration, urgency, and a desperate need for real strategy in the face of authoritarian takeover. Dear Democratic Party, I need more from you. You keep sending emails begging for $15, while we’re watching fascism consolidate power in real time. This administration is not simply “a different ideology.” It is a coordinated, authoritarian machine — with the Supreme Court, the House, the Senate, and the executive pen all under its control. And you? You’re still asking for decorum and donations. WTF. That won’t save us. I don’t want to hear another polite floor speech. I want strategy. I want fire. I want action so bold it shifts the damn news cycle — not fits inside one. Every time I see something from the DNC, it’s asking me for funds. Surprise. Those of us who donate don’t want to keep sending money just to watch you stand frozen as the Constitution goes up in flames — shaking your heads and saying, “Well, there’s not much we can do. He has the majority.” I call bullshit. If you don’t know how to think outside the box… If you don’t know how to strategize… If you don’t know how to fight fire with fire… what the hell are we giving you money for? Some of us have two or three advanced degrees. Some of us have military training. Some of us know what coordinated resistance looks like, and this ain’t it. Yes, the tours around the country? Nice. The speeches? Nice. The clever congressional clapbacks? Nice. That was great for giving hope. Now we need action. You have to stop acting like this is a normal presidency that will just time out in four years. We’re not even at Day 90, and look at the chaos. Look at the disappearances. Look at the erosion of the judiciary, the press, and our rights. If you do not stop this, we will not make it 1,460 days. So here’s what I need from you — right now: 1. Form an independent, civilian-powered investigative coalition. I’m talking experts. Veterans. Whistleblowers. Journalists. Watchdog orgs. Deputize the resistance. Build a real-time archive of corruption, overreach, and executive abuse. Make it public. Make it unshakable. Let the people drag the rot into the light. If you can’t hold formal hearings, hold public ones. If Congress won’t act, let the country act. This isn’t about optics — it’s about receipts. Because at some point, these people will be held accountable. And when that day comes, we’ll need every name, every signature, every illegal order, every act of silence - documented. You’re not just preserving truth — you’re preparing evidence for prosecution. The more they vanish people and weaponize data, the more we need truth in the sunlight. 2. Join the International Criminal Court. Yes, I said it. Call their bluff. You cannot control what the other side does. But you can control your own integrity. So prove it. Prove that your party is still grounded in law, human rights, and ethical leadership. Join. If you’ve got nothing to hide — join. Show the world who’s hiding bodies, bribes, and buried bank accounts. Force the GOP to explain why they’d rather protect a war criminal than sign a treaty. And while you’re at it, publicly invite ICC observers into U.S. borders. Make this administration explain - on camera - why they’re terrified of international oversight. 3. Fund state-level resistance infrastructure. Don’t just send postcards. Send resources. Channel DNC funds into rapid-response teams, legal defense coalitions, sanctuary networks, and digital security training. If the federal government is hijacked, build power underneath it. If the laws become tools of oppression, help people resist them legally, locally, and boldly. This is not campaign season — this is an authoritarian purge. Stop campaigning. Act like this is the end of democracy, because it is. We WILL REMEMBER the warriors come primaries.Fighting this regime should be your marketing strategy. And let’s be clear: The reason the other side always seems three steps ahead is because they ARE. They prepared for this. They infiltrated school boards, courts, local legislatures, and police unions. They built a machine while you wrote press releases. We’re reacting — they’ve been executing a plan for years. It’s time to shift from panic to blueprint. You should already be working with strategists and military minds on PROJECT 2029 - a coordinated, long-term plan to rebuild this country when the smoke clears. You should be publicly laying out: • The laws and amendments you’ll pass to ensure this never happens again • The systems you’ll tear down and the safeguards you’ll enshrine • The plan to hold perpetrators of human atrocities accountable • The urgent commitment to immediately bring home those sold into slavery in El Salvador You say you’re the party of the people? Then show the people the plan. 4. Use your platform to educate the public on rights and resistance tactics. If they’re going to strip us of rights and lie about it — arm the people with truth. Text campaigns. Mass trainings. Downloadable “Know Your Rights” kits. Multilingual legal guides. Encrypted phone trees. Give people tools, not soundbites. We don’t need more slogans. We need survival manuals. 5. Leverage international media and watchdogs. Stop hoping U.S. cable news will wake up. They’re too busy playing both sides of fascism. Feed the real stories to BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Reuters, Der Spiegel — hell, leak them to anonymous dropboxes if you have to. Make what’s happening in America a global scandal. And stop relying on platforms that are actively suppressing truth. Start leveraging Substack. Use Bluesky. That’s where the resistance is migrating. That’s where censorship hasn’t caught up. If the mainstream won’t carry the truth — outflank them. Get creative. Go underground. Go global. If our democracy is being dismantled in broad daylight, make sure the whole world sees it — and make sure we’re still able to say it. 6. Create a digital safe haven for whistleblowers and defectors. Not everyone inside this regime is loyal. Some are scared. Some want out. Build the channels. Encrypted. Anonymous. Protected. Make it easy for the cracks in the system to become gaping holes. And while you’re at it? Stop ostracizing MAGA defectors. Everyone makes mistakes - even glaring, critical ones. We are not the bullies. We are not the ones filled with hate. And it is not your job to shame people who finally saw the fire and chose to step out of it. They will have to deal with that internal struggle — the guilt of putting a very dangerous and callous regime in power. But they’re already outnumbered. Don’t push them back into the crowd. We don’t need purity. We need numbers. We need people willing to burn their red hats and testify against the machine they helped build. 7. Study the collapse—and the comeback.
Stop being scared to fight dirty when the other side is fighting to erase the damn Constitution.
They are threatening to disappear AMERICANS. A M E R I C A N S. And your biggest move can’t be another strongly worded email. We don’t want your urgently fundraising subject lines. We want backbone. We want action. We want to know you’ll stand up before we’re all ordered to sit down — permanently. We are watching. And I don’t just mean your base. I mean millions of us who see exactly what’s happening. I’ve only got 6,000 followers — but the groups I’m in? The networks I touch? Over a quarter million. Often when I speak, it echoes. But when we ALL speak, it ROARS with pressure that will cause change. We need to be deafening. You still have a chance to do something historic. To be remembered for courage, not caution. To go down as the party that didn’t just watch the fall — but fought the hell back with everything they had. But the clock is ticking. And the deportation buses are idling. Sometimes it’s the most loving, good-hearted people who see the danger last. Not because they are wrong. But because they never imagined anyone or anything could be this cruel.
By now, most of us know the gist of what's going on. We are entering a very different time. We are in a world of doublespeak, corruption is flaunted, people are sent to international concentration camps in the making. It's the kind of dystopian realities we only previously read about. The truth is cruel. I wish I could go back to not knowing. Because this darkness has existed since the dawn of time and has been wreaking havoc on our democracy systemically for decades. Heritage foundation, Dark Enlightenment, NAR, sociopathic tech moguls. There is a very dark and dangerous force that is taken hold in the Whitehouse that has stakes for billions of people globally, and the sooner we look at it head on and realize what what we are up against, the sooner we can take real action. The U.S. government is not trying to strengthen our country in any sense we’ve ever known that to mean. They’ve rolled back civil rights won in the 1960s, rescinded long-fought-for women’s rights, and floated loosening child labor laws with overnight shifts They’ve dismantled agencies meant to protect every day people from predatory corporate exploitation and abuse, advocated for 60-hour workweeks, and are now threatening to send U.S. citizens-prisoners for now—to foreign concentration camps in El Salvador. There is nothing great about this. It’s class-based eugenics. A systemic elimination of the old, the sick, the disabled, the different, the inconvenient, the dissenters. They know climate collapse is coming. That’s why they’re closing the door on refugees. And right when we likely need FEMA and Medicaid the most, they gut them -- because a more desperate population is easier to control. And the ones that aren’t useful for exploitation they’d rather die. They’re not trying to save us, they’re trying to enslave us. This isn’t about American greatness. This is about control, consolidating power in a small ruling class, and the only ones left standing are those willing to serve them without question. They know the U.S. is falling. They’re not trying to stop the collapse, they’re trying to rule the ruins and ensure we won’t survive it unless we submit. This is the reality we are sitting in. A hostile force has hijacked our government. It’s been decades in the making, and even when it started to show its face, most of us just didn’t believe it possible. But it’s here. These people know the hey-day of endless growth capitalism is over. What then? Collapse just leaves a vacuum. And history shows that powerful people rush to fill vacuums - usually with something worse. But if we start now, by:
…then collapse becomes a crack in the system, not the end of everything. We need to act. Now. The Digital Exodus is a peaceful, strategic walkout from the Big 5 Tech platforms and monopolies that embedded themselves in our lives and have now forsaken us. What once felt like tools for connection have become the very infrastructure of addiction, manipulation, and social control. They've sold our data, eroded our privacy, amplified division and now stand complicit in a corporate-backed coup that threatens both the foundations of our democracy and the lives of billions around the world through climate denial and delay.
Why Tech? Why Now? While the Peaceful Return still supports long-term goals like reversing Citizens United and reforming lobbying, we recognize that these actions will be nearly impossible without first getting a seat at the table of the power structure that is accelerating right now. What's at stake now is our ability to organize at all, and we need to act fast. Corporations, especially Big Tech, wield massive influence over policy, media, and the economy. As many are realizing, what we’re witnessing isn’t just political chaos; it’s an ideological coup aligned with the goals of Project 2025 and backed by wealthy pro-monarchy technocrats. But this moment could not unfold at the scale it has without the tools and complicity of the Big 5 tech platforms, the infrastructure that tracks us, distracts us, and amplifies division. And it’s moving fast. Waiting four more years is not an option. We may not even have until September. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about leverage. We must act with focused, collective power NOW and hold the line until we are given a voice. Even if you can leave 4 of the 5 platforms or reduce usage by 80% that's good enough. Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good. Every single action, every single person matters. The Plan: Migrate off the Big 5 Platforms Beginning April 22, 2025 (soft-launch begins April 19th)
And then, we stay off—for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, or however long it takes. We don’t need to wait for permission. We don’t need to wait for politicians. The power is with us, the people. The Peaceful Return is not just about digital detox. It’s about reclaiming our agency. April 22nd is our beginning. It has to be said out loud.
Much of Big Tech—and the financial system that props it up—rarely creates anything of intrinsic value. Just: ✨ The illusion of innovation 📊 Relentless data harvesting 🧭 Faster, shinier ways to sell us more ads for things we don’t need 💰 Hype cycles that inflate stock prices without building anything real And now? I think that’s exactly why they’re hiding behind the authoritarian regime. They know what’s coming. When climate collapse hits, Facebook won’t bring you water. Google won’t feed your kids. And Amazon certainly won’t rebuild community. No, while we were glued to their platforms, they were building underground bunkers, buying up all the land and water rights, financializing nature to be sold as cryptobacked securities. Yep, you heard it right. They are going to let the lungs of our planet, the Amazon, be traded on the stock exchange. They were never about innovation or building things for the good of humanity. While I was skeptical, I never imagined the world would let them run so wild - so unregulated, so unaccountable - that they’d become key players in an authoritarian coup. It’s like we left the keys to society in the hands of drunken teenagers, and now the bus is flying off a cliff. Where were the adults? Where were the women in leadership? We are here because of decades of neglect. Of apathy. Of unchecked greed. And none of this was possible without the systematic violation of our privacy and autonomy - our data sold off by tech companies without consent, without shame, without consequence. No wonder the tech moguls, the Theils, Musks, Zuckerbergs don’t respect us. They turned us into products. And we sat there, swiping and scrolling while they took everything. When AI came out and started stealing everyone’s intellectual property, what did we do? Nothing. Why? Because we’re still pretending these men -Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai, Bezos -are visionaries. They’re not. They’re not better. They’re not even grown-ups. They’re boys who never learned to share. Who built empires off of exploitation. They were rewarded not for wisdom, but for domination. And now we’re all living with the consequences. Business models that function like toxic parasites, draining life from the very society that enables them should not be revered.
We have to demand things. No one will do it for us. This is the bare minimum. Please, join the Digital Exodus. Take back our Democracy. Before it's too late. April 19th Day of Action - Join the Exodus Zoom Room for community and support on migrating off the Big 5 Tech monopolies. Dear Young People, We’re sorry. Our actions, and our inaction, have brought us to this moment. It shouldn’t have to fall on your shoulders. But we need your help. Some of you may have never known a world without the internet. That doesn’t make you naive. It makes you native to a system we, your elders, over-trusted. We thought the tech moguls of our time were different. We believed they were building something new: ethical, open, progressive. But in truth, they just put a new face on old-school corruption. They became the new titans of industry. And while we were distracted, they consolidated unprecedented power - economic, digital, and now political. We are watching - in real time now - an authoritarian coup. And the technocrats are either funding it or failing to stop it. But here’s the thing: They only have power because we gave it to them. And therefore, we can take it back. 💥 Enter the Digital Exodus A peaceful, people-powered walkout from the Big 5: Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon, X. (throw in Uber if you like) This is our resistance. Our refusal to keep feeding the system that’s breaking the world. We move to smaller platforms, alternatives to the Big5 (like Bluesky, Mastadon, Proton, Discord) Yes, it might be a little slower. Yes, it might be less polished. But this is the price of freedom, and the reward is everything - a more habitable planet, more equal distribution of resources, opportunities for growth and housing, a world that invests in its children and nature. You are not powerless. You are not too late. You are the JEDI force for good.  📎 Learn the Plan:

I think by now, most of us that are paying attention can see what’s happening. This is a Project 2025–engineered dismantling of democracy, unfolding step by step in line with the classic authoritarian coup playbook. The endgame? The installation of a CEO-style dictator, just as envisioned by the Dark Enlightenment architects—Thiel, Yarvin, and Vance—who believe liberal democracy has run its course and must be replaced by top-down technocratic rule. Fine. We get it. The pattern is clear. Every day brings another catastrophic blow to checks and balances, civil rights, social safety nets, and the regulations that protect people and the planet. The list goes on. And while sharing this awareness with our circles is important, it's not enough. We have to act. But to act effectively, we need to step back, look at the big picture, and fully grasp what’s at stake—so we can realize the true urgency, stop talking about what's wrong and start doing what's right. The Climate Crisis is Real, and They Know It The current administration is fully aware of the climate emergency. They have access to the best research, data, and long-projections The wealthiest among us, people like Zuckerberg, Bezos and Altman, are preparing for the collapse. They are buying up water, land, and shelter, building bunkers and securing escape route. They know where this is going. But while they plan their escapes, others, like Project 2025 architects, fossil fuel interests, and techno-authoritarians are actively undermining climate progress - slashing funding for crucial climate research and carbon reduction strategies and aggressively expanding fossil fuel use, almost as if they are intent on accelerating the crisis. Worse still, theses same forces are dismantling the very systems that could help the average American survive what’s coming:
This Isn’t Ignorance. It’s Design. This is not a mistake, and it's not just ignorance, selfishness or short-term thinking. What we are witnessing is an extermination plan by design: a system that ensures the rest of us, especially the most vulnerable, will have nowhere to turn when the climate crisis truly hits. When this happens one of these things will happen to the masses:
I refuse to live in a country that allows this descent into dystopia. I refuse to accept helpless, silence and fear as the only option. We know what silence, and the side history those that stay silent wind up on. I am not giving up. But I can't do it alone. We need to move. Together. Now. Time is Running Out We have a narrow window—just a few years—to prevent irreversible climate tipping points. We have an even shorter window—just months—to prevent the authoritarian consolidation of power. If this administration cements its control (likely after the next budget passes in September), undoing the damage will become exponentially harder. And with that, any hope of meaningful climate action dies with it. There is Hope - But we have to Stop Talking and Start Acting We must reclaim power from the monopolies and corporate giants that dominate our economy and our government. We must break the dangerous feedback loop where profit is placed above people, and the planet is treated as expendable. That's why I'm calling for a Digital Exodus, beginning April 22, Earth Day, where we migrate off the Big5 (Meta, X, Google, Amazon, and Apple) Why Does That Matter? What’s the Connection?
And so, withdrawing those from the Big 5:
It’s all connected. This is a peaceful, nonpartisan act of resistance. A refusal to participate in the systems fueling our collapse. Together, we can take a stand and make a difference. Join the Digital Exodus. Reclaim your attention, your dignity, and your future. It’s free. No sign-up required.
And most importantly SHARE this with your networks! Let's move - together. |
