Resist: It's Time
0 readers

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

None of these people look like the type of folks that law enforcement or military folks are going to want to agree with. Not a decent haircut in the lot.
Should that matter? No. But it does.
Edit: Uh oh, apparently I might have hurt someone's feefees by saying "masturbation" below... Fucking mods. Please daddy mod make my spacer safer so that I can pretend my bubble is reality (don't mind the fact that people are literally dying, feels over reals).
...weird comment, considering the gravity of what they are discussing. A haircut, huh...
Who needs to have their minds changed about this? DHS, local PD, reserve, national guard, etc. And maybe their families/friends if those folks aren't afraid of them.
So, I think the original comment is right: the most impact would be had if the panel looks like the folks we see using horses to trample protesters (or in military leadership etc). Or like tank-on-Tesla guy.
That said, the conversation's gotta start somewhere, and I appreciate these folks doing it and putting their names/faces out there in this climate.
