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

No no, we did it. But only kinda. We do one big gift and that's it. Last year it was recycled laptops for the kids. Cost me $125 and it's been their best Christmas.
This is a great idea. But only used stuff from the community with cash.
That helps the community and your kids will get an awesome Christmas.
My wife is a hard one to budge, but I’m gonna talk to her about it.
I have a stack of laptops with 1165g7 processors in them. The Intel XE graphics they have onboard and 65watt package makes them easy replacements for their switches.
The 125 was new mice, skins, and a screen replacement.
And I slowly was grooming them into playing on steam when ever we could, little did they know they were building their steam libraries while farting around for Christmas :)
