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

A general strike would absolutely be warranted in the US right now, so this is reasonable.
However, there is something decidedly US-like to having a "general strike" be a website looking for viral popularity instead of... you know, a general strike.
General strikes are typically called by nationwide unions, not a "if this post gets 11 million likes" thing.
Use all the tools available, even the new ones, we are in unprecedented times
i think what they are saying is that the real unions have to act together in solidarity with this to make it work. I'm in a union and I'm gonna follow that path. a website only comes with risk that my union doesn't
These posts are still useful. It still pushes for action and is an opportunity for workers to contact their union reps to take part. If you just wanna wait for things to happen you can
I sure hope that isn't directed at me. You have no idea about my place in the cog. Stay positive. even replying to you is doing something. Especially if it helps hone your message.
