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

You're kidding right? You know most of "those people" without protections you speak of are going to be targeted next. First they come for the trans and gays and the disabled and sick. No worries. That's not me. Then they come for the poor and the brown. That's all good that's not me either.
Then they come for you. Oops.
Those workers without protections won't have jobs soon enough. The world outside of your little American bubble is making sure of that. Question is
Will you fight then?
Yes it will. Raising awareness by protesting absolutely helps people. It builds community. What many places are sorely lacking right now and desperately in need of. People need to meet one another again to care about them. Going through things together helps people relate to one another. Suddenly someone with more offers it to someone with less because they've had the same experience. Protesting and holding signs absolutely helps. Being defeatist and insisting any sign of resistance isn't resistance is just playing into the hands of the regime that controls the country.
Cause right now it's quite obvious from the outside that very limited numbers even give a shit about anyone or anything but themselves.
