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

You're exactly right. A one day boycott doesn't work. For it to work your need to have a day when you don't consume anything. But even then, that isn't feasible.
Cancel your subscriptions, and don't start them up again.
Divest your 401k from US money markets.
Get involved in your local government and start focusing on ways that your community can provide local services.
If you know where a morally corrupt CEO is going to be staying, let your local Luigi know.
These aren't easy things, but they can be effective.
"Your local Luigi", I love this expression!
