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.

Doxxing Trump Flag Wavers? (lemmy.world)

Not sure how to approach this so I'll just spew some thoughts.

Is there anything morally or legally wrong with taking pictures of MAGA-flag waving homes, looking the owners up on the local tax site and posting that information online? Pic, name, address, nothing else.

To my thoughts, they're proudly waving a flag promoting their beliefs. Could they legally complain for spreading that information? Isn't that the very purpose of a flag? Is it even doxxing when they proudly fly their flags? This isn't some person wishing to remain anonymous.

I'm certain lemmy would shut such a community down, in a New York minute, but why? If there are no calls for violence or harassment, why not help them spread their message?

Could such a site be deployed, perhaps outside social media? Zero chance of making such a site untraceable?

Got to nearly shaking in anger the other night as my legal, brown wife expressed her terror of being deported. Filipino FB is full of rumors and fear, and it seems mostly that, rumors. But we all know this administration won't stop with illegals.

I'm scared shitless, she's scared shitless, can we make the supporters scared shitless? And again, they're flying a flag, advertising to the world how they feel. Why should that make them afraid? And if they are, what can they do about it?

An amateur webmaster like a Lemmy admins will almost certainly consider it too risky. A lawyer, especially a "free" one, will tell you not to go borrowing trouble. They won't want any of that smoke.

Personally I don't think it's illegal, but IANAL.

Talked to many lawyers? I'm not too experienced, but I find they give you solid scenarios and risk/reward talk.

In other words, they refuse to say yea or nay. Instead they simply tell it how it is, as their experience and education see it. You're free to take the advice or roll your own rope as you see fit.

Don't want this to turn into an ad, but for $26/mo., having a lawyer on the phone in an hour, or instantly if the situation is that hot, is well worth it. We peons keep getting fucked and fucked and fucked because we have no idea where we stand legally.

Lawyers aren't just for murder cases and divorces, they can answer super simple shit as well, shit that may not be so simple to us laymen.
