    Yes, the actual representative will never read this and as far as a response goes, you will get an insulting patronizing pre-written letter or just completely ignored. However, some intern or bot should categorize your letter and add it to a report shown to the representative.

    By contacting your reps, at the very least, you can be sure that:

    1. You are doing something and exercising one of the tools you’ve been given to fight this hellscape, which is more than 99%+ of people do.
    2. Your rep will have to ignore even more signs about how much of a piece of shit they are.

    I highly recommend contacting your reps as frequently as possible. Resistbot is a great tool that makes writing your reps as easy as sending a text message. There’s no need to spend a ton of time writing these letters, they’re being categorized, not read. So, you can literally write and send a letter to your reps in less than one minute. I think their Telegram bot costs them less than SMS, so I’d recommend using that.


  • If you’re fine with self hosting, you can just self host it and backup your local drives to a remote location. That’s what I do.

    For backup software, I use Duplicacy. But Veeam, Borg, etc… would work just fine. For images, since they’re just static files and you don’t really need a version history, you could get away with a scheduled rsync job. Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

    For remote storage, I’d first consider a Hetzner storage box since they are flat-rate pricing and pretty dang cheap at $13/mo for 5TB. You might also consider StorJ, B2, S3, etc… I’d just stay away from any lesser known ultra-cheap storage providers.

    Erm, achooillee, he tried to give debt relief to poor “people”, money personally taken by pet-eating illegal caravans from MY minimum wage paycheck that could have gone to my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s multi-billionare boss’s twelfth yacht fund before trickling down to ME. And he was SLEEPY.

    They fired Kimmel to appease Trump and used Kirk as an excuse. And a piss poor excuse at that.

    This was inevitable since Colbert was canceled, assassination or not. They were just waiting for an excuse and jumped at the chance. But, with an excuse like this, appologizing statements that were never made, they may as well have said Kimmel ran away to live on a farm. That might have actually been more believable.


  • For those, like me, who haven’t seen these texts

    Robinson: drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.
    [When the roommate looked under the keyboard, there was a note that allegedly read: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”]

    Roommate: "What??? You’re joking, right???
    Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.

    Roommate: you weren’t the one who did it right???

    Robinson: I am, I’m sorry

    Roommate: I thought they caught the person?

    Robinson: no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering.

    Roommate: Why?

    Robinson: Why did I do it?

    Roommate: Yeah

    Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.

    Robinson: If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them finding it.

    Roommate: How long have you been planning this?

    Robinson: a bit over a week I believe. I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don’t wanna chance it

    Robinson: I’m wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle… I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle … idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn’t trace to me. I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn’t have the ability or time to bring it with… I might have to abandon it and hope they don’t find prints. how the [expletive] will I explain losing it to my old man…

    only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel…

    remember how I was engraving bullets? The [expletive] messages are mostly a big meme, if I see “notices bulge uwu” on fox new I might have a stroke alright im gonna have to leave it, that really [expletive] sucks… judging from today I’d say grandpas gun does just fine idk. I think that was a $2k scope;-;

    Robinson: delete this exchange

    Robinson: my dad wants photos of the rifle … he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. Hes calling me rn, not answering.

    Robinson: since trump got into office [my dad] has been pretty diehard maga.

    Robinson: Im gonna turn myself in willingly, one of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff.

    Robinson: you are all I worry about love

    Roommate: I’m much more worried about you

    Robinson: don’t talk to the media please. don’t take any interviews or make any comments. … if any police ask you questions ask for a lawyer and stay silent
