    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:

    https://canterlotavenue.com/blog/410/the-entire-bee-movie-script/

    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

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

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