Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

OK. But what are you actually doing right now? What are any of us doing right now?

I'm talking to like minded people overseas about preparing resources to help at-risk people evacuate the United States. I'm also accumulating an emergency fund and arming myself. I will continue to masquerade as a cis white dude so I can move mostly unimpeded. I plan to help people get to New England as a staging point--it will remain RELATIVELY less dangerous than most other parts of the country here--where they might have a chance of SURVIVING LONG ENOUGH to cobble their shit together enough that they can legally get overseas from here without violating a visa and getting deported back to this shithole.

I will also continue attempting to practice the art of not tipping off the enemy by giving them any warning that I might be a threat to them. I must swaddle myself in the flayed skin of civility. I must smile politely and patiently to their faces. I must lull them into feeling safe around me. I must wait until their back is turned. And then I can personally drag them to hell by the neck. Hopefully when nobody else will witness it.

There needs to be fewer fascists in America. One way or another. I'd rather see them convinced rationally to peacefully change their minds and stop being fascists. If they remove that option, well, they get lie in the beds they've shat.

What they've got so far is brand new and the growing pains are real

but if you remember Mister Rogers: "Look for the Helpers"

Well there are some of them right now.

And you might get to be one too.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I live with someone who won't stop crowing about the illegality of it all. Like, dude, I fucking get it, but also these fucks were evil from the very FUCKING start and the rule of law is meaningless without anyone to actually enforce it.

Learning about firearms to teach targeted groups. Teaching people about online alternatives for secure communication. Maintaining an antiICE communication network. Building an independent news source RSS so friends and family can get off Meta.

You?

I did that for years and then I emigrated because it didn't work.

Pretty soon authoritarianism will be worldwide, though. That's the goal.
