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.

- 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

yeah none of those are suuuuuper productive lines of questioning. I can think of multiple plausible outs on all of them. maybe not the wire.
So are you saying that asking questions (maybe not these specific ones) wouldn't be helpful here? If so, what do you propose instead? Ignore the person? Notify the protest organizers?
no im saying those specific questions aren't as productive as they could be.
cops shoot at people; vests are a safety thing. the handcuffs are for my boyfriend. etc.
I think the point here is to be aware of a combination of these items. e.g. If the person has a vest (more noticeable), they might also be wearing a wire (less obvious).
I'm not sure there's a good excuse to bring handcuffs to a protest. Nothing wrong with being kinky IMO, but leave that shit at home.
sometimes people are dumb. im just saying it's plausible.
