Bezos' Washington Post refuses to run this ad and get paid over $100,000 for it. Let's run it ourselves! There are two pages. We can print them and post them up around our towns and cities. It would be great to post it on federal buildings, and if you are or know a federal worker, have them print it, too and distribute them.

With enough, it can have at least a small psychological effect on Musk and his followers.

Here's a link to the actual PDF

Let's run it ourselves!

Yes.

These will print in b/w just fine. You might need to select "Fit to printable area" or "Fit to paper" to print it properly on 8.5x11.

Be aware, printers have unique fingerprints in yellow dots on their pages which mean any paper can be scanned and traced to which printer it came from. Probably not a problem here, but something to be aware of. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

It's definitely a risk, but I think that it's manageable. It's perfectly legal to print and post things. Even if the authorities start looking for people, tying the tracking dots to an individual becomes harder if the printer is older (records get lost or just superseded), bought via cash, or bought second hand. The bigger risk, I think, is being caught in the act and chased off or having the posters ripped down or otherwise destroyed.

Plus, risk is part of the game.

This will be perfect for the plotter at work tomorrow.

Suggestions for locations to hang them up?

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 2 points 5 days ago

Urban: Light poles, wherever you see other people posting stuff.

Suburban: Leave them in public restrooms, some grocery stores might still have bulletin boards

Rural ... good luck.

It is perfectly legal to leave flyers at people's houses, though you might want to be ready to gtfo. Do not put them in or on the mailbox.

Of course, they have to keep things in the dark if they want democracy to die. It's right under their name.

Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.
