Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

Apparently folks are flooding this form:

https://in.accessgov.com/attorneygeneral/Forms/Page/attorneygeneral/education-transparency-form/1

With the script to the Bee Movie:

and various memes.

I find this an encouraging way to show solidarity with the many folks who likely feel attacked by the existence of that form.

This would be very easy to filter out. Activists should pull random paragraphs from random movies instead, while randomly inserting key words the creators would expect to see.

edit If it was created with government funds, an FOIA request could identify the contracting agency that added it. If it's a company that made it for this specific purpose (vs general purpose), name and shame.

I appreciate that we're fighting fascist rhetoric with comedy but it's really not funny anymore

It's not just for the comedy. Flooding the form with useless data wastes time and hopefully prevents them from finding any actionable reports from other fascists.

The trick is to not just meme. Make it sound real, but use 100% false data

Or a data of those who started this snitchline, in Minecraft.

Yeah, that form isn't gonna last long and a CAPTCHA or "I'm not a robot" check box isn't gonna stop people.

Post the personal info of every Republican you can to this system.

🤔 We actually should have a call-your-congressmen list on here; that's a good idea.
