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.

- 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

The exact line of the preamble of The United States Constitution is "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,..."
It's a direct allusion to the United States' foundational document, and rephrasing that allusion does not make it less nationalist.
It's also a document which many US citizens strongly identify with, and they are invoking that phrase explicitly to gain rapoire and support from those US citizens. Rephrasing "We the People" would only dilute that virtue signal and lower its efficacy.
Gotta say this feels like a stretch to me dawg.
