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

Not everyone can, or needs to, be on the front lines and in the trenches shooting CEOs and blowing up pipelines, there are many other ways to help and organise which are essential not only to the resistance, but as building blocks for a better future

1 Title image says "How to resist an oligarchy" and has a drawing of 5 smiling people holding up their arms in a welcoming gesture
2 There are photos of trump, musk, zuc, and bezos next to text:
"Oligarchy:
a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution."
Their Goal:
For us to be overwhelmed, to ignore/avoid the growing information, and to feel helpless.
Our Goal:
Learn and focus on what we CAN do instead of why we can't."
3 text in a stylised frame says:
"Note: These suggestions are nothing new and may have to adapt to any environmental, governmental, and social changes that occur."
4 Drawing of a person holding a trey of freshly baked cookies, next to them is text:
"QUIET SUBVERSIVE:
If your calling is hiding ppl, driving women to clinics, mailing BC, or any illegal morally good activity, be paranoid.
Social media is not your friend. Zuck, Blue Sky, etc. will sell you out.
In order to be a Jane, you have to assume your life, lives of your Family/friends, and lives of the ones you are helping are in mortal danger.
As soon as you blast, "I'll hide Ann in my attic," you are no longer safe and not useful for this kind of work."
5 Drawing of a person handing out pamphlets to others, next to them is text:
"DISTRIBUTER:
This can be done by printing info. or providing online links.
For groups and orgs that can take the heat, such as Planned Parenthood, sharing and boosting their posts can be helpful.
If your calling is to print up red cards/make pamphlets, then anywhere you place this info is going to be targeted for destruction of materials.
Regularly drop off info and find new ways to get the word out. For smaller groups that need to stay somewhat obscure, be selective about sharing info."
6 There are 3 photos from mass demonstrations, between them is text:
"MARCHER:
Marches can be used for paying attention to which groups are attending.
Any group showing up with a banner is putting a giant target on themselves and they are going to need support. Volunteering with, or sending money helps them to continue showing up.
The focus of a march is disruption which can potentially lead to becoming a target.
Don't bring your phone. Don't share faces. Bring water and medical supplies.
Be prepared to be pepper sprayed, smoke bombed, hit by a baton, harassed if your face is passed around among fascists, and/or arrested/imprisoned."
7 Drawing of a person in camo, a paramedic, and a person adjusting their glasses, next to them is text:
"EDUCATOR:
These come in many forms: building, first aid, critical thinking, self defense, fact checking, science, map reading, psychology etc.
Anything that can help the quiet subversive, the information distributer, the marcher etc. etc. be more effective; keep up the good work of long threads and videos.
If you are not an expert, share media and videos from credible experts."
8 Drawing of a table with food on it, there are 3 people in line holding plates and 2 more serving up the food, above it is text:
"VOLUNTEER:
Soup kitchens, shelters, anywhere and everywhere people or animals are in need. Any and all good works towards our neighbors is resistance."
9 Drawing of a person curled up looking cosy, holding a pen and pad. There is also an image of the relevant book cover to the text beside it:
"REST:
Rest can be resistance.
From what I understand, it is about self care for the long haul.
For more information, I recommend reading "Rest is Resistance" by Tricia Hersey
CREATE:
Paint, write, draw, graffiti, design, music, videos, comedy.
If you are a creative person, use it to spread awareness, help raise funds, etc."
10 3 photos of places of worship, beside them is text:
"CHURCH GOER:
Historically, churches/synagogues/ mosques/temples have been a safe-ish place to gather in large groups and organize.
Anyone familiar with the history of black churches, or churches under Fascism, know there is potential for great good but also a risk of the church being burned, raided, bombed, or leaders being rounded up.
Whether you are a theist or atheist, consider finding a community that can gather and organize in large groups and become a regular contributing member.
As of 1/22/2024 ICE is legally allowed to raid churches, hospitals, and schools under illegal immigrant suspicion. They need a JUDGE ISSUED WARRANT. YOU ARE legally allowed to look at it and demand it.
11 Drawing of a person behind a stall, a photo of a large group of people behind a Planned Parenthood banner, and an illustrated banner for The Trevor Project. Between them is text:
"FINANCIAL SUPPORTER:
Every dollar has a potential to do good.
If you are able to put money towards a small business, especially if they are run by marginalized persons or groups, please do.
The billionaires won't be hurt and it won't stop them from aligning with Fascists but it will put money into hands of those needing to escape, needing aid, or in the hands of the above mentioned resisters."

I'm assuming this post was made by an American, and laws might vary where you are, but the point remains the same in every country: the cops are there to serve the state, not you, and they will not hesitate for a second to lie to you and pretend to be on your side to get what they need.
Don't trust them, don't believe them, don't confide in them, don't make their job of oppressing the working class easier.

ICE can now raid hospitals. Healthcare workers- here is what you need to know. [6 images]

1 I.C.E can now raid hospitals. Healthcare workers- here is what you need to know.
2 What Is an ICE Raid? ICE agents will go to a hospital without warning as part of an investigation into an employee or patient.
3 ICE agents are NOT police officers. But their uniforms may say "Police" or "Federal Agent. They may carry guns. Sometimes local police officers go with ICE agents on ICE raids
4 Medical providers can ONLY disclose a patient's information to ICE/LEO if there is a court order/warrant/subpoena/summons **** issued by a judge. ****
If it's an ICE agent WITHOUT a warrant, they must have an administrative request, such as a summons issued by a federal or state agency, like the Department of Homeland Security.
Otherwise, giving out patient information (even a name) is a HIPAA violation.
5 If they do have a warrant or administrative request, ASK TO SEE IT. They must let you examine the document. ICE agents RARELY have judicial warrants or requests.
Even if they have a warrant or an administrative request, you can refuse to tell them anything if doing so would jeopardize the patient, you as the provider, or others in the hospital.
You can ask them to leave the unit.
6 Please remember your oath during times like these. Immigration status should NEVER impact care.
It is up to us to protect our patients. We have to stand against this as a united medical community.

ID: A guide titled "Know Your Rights with ICE: What is a warrant?" posted by servicesnotsweepscoalition and created by WASHINGTON IMMIGRANT SOLIDARITY NETWORK. There are 9 images in English followed by the same 9 images in Spanish, which I will put in their own comment to the post:
Full transcript:
1 Know Your Rights with ICE: What is a warrant?
A judicial warrant and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrant serve different purposes and carry distinct legal authority.
Understanding the difference is crucial, especially when it comes to protecting your rights during encounters with law enforcement or immigration authorities.
2 Remember If law enforcement, including ICE, knock on your door, do NOT open the door. First, ask them to slide a judicial warrant under the door. ICE and CBP have been known to use warrants that lure community members to surrender without due process.
3 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant A judicial warrant is an official court order signed by a judge or magistrate that authorizes a search of private property, seizure, or arrest based on probable cause that a crime is being committed or has been committed. A judicial warrant will:
• Specify the specific address to be searched • Specify the time period in which the search must take place
• Particularly describe the place or person, or both, to be searched and things to be seized
• Be issued by a court and signed by a Judge or magistrate
4 This is a judicial warrant. This DOES authorize agents to enter your house or search your car. Bellow is an image of a judicial warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that it is a COURT ORDER, that it has your NAME & ADDRESS and that it has a JUDGE SIGNATURE "JUDICIAL OFFICER"
5 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant: ICE agents have been known to use an ICE administrative warrant to bait people into giving them access to their homes, cars and belongings. This document is issued by a federal agency, such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or ICE, claiming its authority to arrest a person suspected of violating immigration laws. These administrative documents are not signed by a neutral magistrate or judge but rather by an immigration officer like an ICE agent or immigration judge.
• An ICE administrative warrant is NOT a judicial warrant. ICE administrative warrants do not give ICE officials authority to enter a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, without consent.
• If this happens-state clearly that you do not consent to them entering but do not physically resist. If ICE officials have already entered, then ask them to leave and state that you do not consent to a search.
6 This is an ICE administrative warrant which DOES NOT authorize agents to enter your home. Bellow is an image of an ICE administrative warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that THIS IS AN IMMIGRATION ORDER, NOT A SEARCH WARRANT and that it is SIGNED BY 'INS OFFICER' AND NOT A JUDGE OR MAGISTRATE.
7 If you are approached by ICE, remember:
DOCUMENT THE INTERACTION. Inform the agent that you are going to use your right to record. Take photos, video and write down all the details
