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.

The Republican Office of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was intentionally set on fire in an act of arson.

If you know something about how this happened, no you don't.

I was having a bad day after my shower door exploded while cleaning it, cutting up my hand while cleaning it up, and somehow getting electrocuted when plugging in my laptop but this....makes up for all of that.

You were electrocuted? Did your ghost type this?

OK, Prescriptivist:

To inflict a severe electric shock, not necessarily fatally.

Surly this isn't the first time you've experienced this usage?

Um zapped? Shocked?

Oh yeah, I forgot that was like drowned. Had a coworked ask me if another coworker that drowned was OK? Nah dude, he's dead, it wasn't a near drowning.
