Even the Financial Times admits that Donald Trump is building a police state.
This should give everyone a new perspective on the movement to abolish the police, which was so controversial a few years ago. Despite tremendous outcry against racist police killings, the Biden administration doubled down on promoting the legitimacy of police and channeled considerable quantity of resources towards them, all of which they will now use to impose Trump's agenda on us.
The movement to abolish the police was our best hope of countering the forces via which autocrats like Trump will impose fascism.
It still is.
"The only possible way out of this mess is to develop the ability to wield power on our own terms, horizontally and autonomously, stripping the police of legitimacy and shattering the illusion that they are invincible. This has been the common thread between practically all the significant movements of the past several years."
We said that in 2014.

It is more than mildly annoying that as a growing assortment of nasty 'strongmen' are re-energized trying to erase modern civilization across the globe, the self-acclaimed "greatest nation" and "home of the free" is demanding the spotlight while a bunch of deranged billionaires herding moronic maga hoards is hellbent on resetting the USA back to the 1800s feudal order under them.
Pro tip: Every respectable person, institution or country needs to stop pandering to #trump. It only fuels his insecure and incessantly vain ego.
The orange despot-wannabe nobody needs to be *universally vilified*. NOW.
World's democracies need to establish a "Group of XX" to coordinate their survival.
The United Nations was supposed to be that place; it had an admirable charter and all. Use its dead husk to organize a new cocoon and a seed bank...

Carshares, bikeshares and the like are a positive for the environment, though access to them isn’t equal. What can be done to give everyone more transportation options?

Actually, in May and June 2020, social movements outflanked and outmaneuvered the police over and over, day after day, all around the country. So one place you could begin is to study historical examples.
There are a variety of answers to this question, but as a general starting point, don't think of it as a symmetrical clash of force meeting force. To quote an anonymous Italian anarchist text, "the force of insurrection is social, not military." Think of it as a battle for hearts and minds; think of it as a contest for control of different kinds of territory; think about all the different kinds of disruption that can exert pressure on those who might otherwise support police violence. Think about how to be creative.
