What Would Happen If Every "Resistor" Did What They Did Yesterday in the PNW?

A GREAT READ

Kristi Noem, now Homeland Security Secretary …wanted to “inform” travelers why flights were delayed and TSA agents unpaid ... a partisan ad in disguise, blaming Democrats for the shutdown.

Airport authorities from Seattle to Los Angeles quietly refused.They cited policy…the Hatch Act

They didn’t form a committee or hold a press conference. They simply said, “No.”

The Power of NO
Authoritarians rise on obedience…not genius. Their systems depend on millions of small yesses…clerks stamping papers…officers enforcing bad orders…managers looking the other way. Break that chain once and the illusion of inevitability cracks.

Tell that to ass-kissing Apple and Google.

LOTS MORE.

All the articles on his substack are good reads.

1. More people need to say NO. TRUMP DOES NOT OWN US.

2. I sent Tim Cook a short email.

Do not obey in advance.

Historian Timothy Snyder’s first lesson in his book On Tyranny is “Do not obey in advance.” To obey a tyrant before you are compelled to do so teaches them what they will be able to get you to do, easily, without even needing to expend the resources and energy it takes to carry out that part of their agenda.

4. Jack Hopkins always is bracing, strengthening for the work ahead. Focuses on effectiveness too.

I credit his attitude and perspective with coming through the election prepared for what happened and ready to stand up for democracy from the beginning. No immobilization from fear or sadness, although I wasn't free of either, but it was tempered with resolve.

He's one of perhaps the handful of writers for whom I am a paying subscriber.

5. I imagine that resistors in the PNW do what resistors do everywhere

They impede the flow of current in whatever circuit they have been installed.
