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 the many folks who likely feel attacked by to e 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.

Submitted the bee movie script with a picture of a rock.

Better response: audit the textbooks for right-wing political rhetoric and revisionism in the materials they buy and mass report it as political material in education.

I look back at what my 2000s era textbooks taught about America and just cringe. If things like black history are now “political rhetoric”, those books have got to be 50% fiction.

But if the memes can knock out the line or render it useless, go for it.

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.
