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 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

Honestly, I've thought for a long time that this is one of the big reasons Republicans are against universal healthcare. If losing your job could likely end in homelessness or death it's so much harder to protest.
That, and your healthcare being tied to employment means your employer can abuse you more. Which I guess boils down to the same thing.
It literally means you're only worthy of care if you are 1.) in the confirmed service of a company or 2.) already wealthy.
eyup. take healthcare out of the equation and my job options would open up considerably.
