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

Fun historical stat, in Russia during 2016, half a million baseball bats were reported to have been sold around the country. The number of baseballs reported to have sold was 1.
I'm actually really curious on your source for this one haha
Think this was the article i read at the time. Seems I forgot that they reference a TASS article from the year prior and the sales figures were from the year before that, so the half million to one numbers would've been from 2014.
