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

sending you encouraging vibes.
be aware, even completely civil nonviolent usage of your constitutional rights can be misconstrued and things might escalate quickly unexpectedly.
be sure to have recording devices that automatically upload. memorize at least one phone number for someone who can help you in case your phone is taken or worst case you are detained. know your rights, review advice from civil liberties orgs so you know when it's wise to speak or wise to remain silent.
Seconded.
But also, when it is the cops, it is always wise to shut the fuck up, the only words you should be saying to them if there is any sign of being detained or arrested is:
"Id prefer to not answer any personal questions" or
"I will not answer any questions without my attorney present" or
"I need an attorney/lawyer"
They are there to look for a reason to fuck you over. They will be your friend, they will lie to you, they will flatter you, they will sell their own mother's soul if it means they can force a situation in which they can exert more authority over you especially when it comes to protecting the rich and their interests.
Fuck a cop.
It isn't Friday, but always a good reminder:
