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

MODERATORS
That’s the problem with remaining loyal to your ideals. We’re very hard to indoctrinate.
In my opinion, the best president in my lifetime was Obama. I don’t agree with his choice to follow Bush and bail out the banks, he took too long to pull out of Iraq, and his speed over fairness deportations were awful. MAGA is incapable of seeing flaws in their electors.
Obama was the best conservative president.
I’d have a hard time calling the guy who championed civil rights, same-sex marriage, and tried to create universal healthcare a conservative.
Who would you say was a better President since Reagan that wasn’t conservative?
Jimmy Carter because he never stopped doing good work for people.
Carter was before Reagan. That’s why I said Obama was the best in my lifetime. I agree with Carter as a choice though.
Championed same-sex marriage? That's what you think he did? Because I remember a man condemning same-sex marriage until the rest of us dragged him to it kicking and screaming. If it had been up to Obama same-sex marriage would still be on the out and he'd be patiently waiting on the right time.
