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.

It would be wise to use this time to prioritize health and fitness, too. A lot of people in the more right-wing prepper communities completely disregard that element of preparedness. If you find yourself in a crisis, your physical capabilities will almost always be at least as important as any equipment or supplies.
I know we've all got a lot going on, but for me I'm sacrificing some of my unproductive relaxation time to prioritize fitness, and it's easy to do when I remind myself "being lazy right now helps the fascists".
I started going to the gym three times a week, up from leisurely outdoor cardio twice a week. I don't want to have visible muscle, but I also want to be able to deck a fascist if I need to, so I've been working on my biceps.
