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.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance
- Do not organize specific subversive plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

Holy smokes, it's totally wild that this is happening at all. We're seeing people actually go out en masse and directly interfering with ICE. That's huge. I love to see it.
Next step is to show up armed
Yeah, peaceful resistance will probably be handled a bit differently by the cops if everyone in the crowd has a shotgun over their shoulder. Without even brandishing or using them, just knowing that they're there changes the equation a lot. Reminds me of that part of Winter on Fire (a documentary on the 2014 Maidan protests) when the protestors have had enough and declare that they're going to march on the capitol building as armed protestors, and the president can choose to be there or not. After months of shooting and killing unarmed protestors, the cops fucking bailed immediately.
Cops are fucking coward/bully ( same thing i know ) that why protest need to crank up the fear factor if they dont fear the fascist will continu there is no peaceful solution to this america is at war with himself but only the axis of evil is fighting for now
Right wing ideologies inherently depend on fear.
They are all cowards who will crumple under the first signs of resistance.
