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 organize specific 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

Get armed. Lay in ammo while it's cheap. Learn safety first and foremost. Learn your local laws. Be prepared to fight. And yes, you might die, that happens in combat vs. fascists.
This is not a young-adult novel about rebellion. Fascism is here, now, today, just like 1930s Germany. Choose to lay down and take it, or choose to fight when they come to your door. Pick one.
If you are American then you are one of the most armed yet oppressed populations.
The lefties of my father's time were so scared of guns they actively tried to get rid of them in their own communities
So now the majority of the armed people are the far right crazies. Some of us are trying to rectify that, but it's not easy
How would that even change anything? Are you planning to shoot anyone who disagrees or what?
Have you seen the size of US military and police forces?
