There are also different roles - we can’t do everything as a small group either. We need to divide the roles! I just wrote a post on this! It’s a call to action
I found this link on twitter, with several people insulting you in the replies. And that pissed me off. You are the FIRST PERSON I've seen who actually LINKED TO RESOURCES TO HELP, INSTEAD OF JUST GIVING BAD NEWS WITH NO OUTLET FOR ACTION LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES ON THAT CURSED PLATFORM. And they INSULTED YOU for it??? Every time I use twitter, I do it with the thought in mind that the behavior I see on that dreaded website is the opposite of who I should be. You are one of the exceptions. Thank you, a million times thank you, for actually fucking doing something to help.
Get involved with people who are aligned. You have every right to defend the existence of yourself and your fellow humans. Stop cooperating with the federal government elements that have been hijacked by evil greed. Non-cooperation is not enough at this point. Self-defense requires a survival plan, and a backup plan. This is a war against human equality and human progress. Let's not pretend otherwise. Community gardens are good but they are not even close to enough.
True words, well said. This applies to everything we face right now. Look to the local. Reach out and connect with your neighbours. Be known, and know others ... not online, through a keyboard. Outside, in the flesh and blood of the world. Together we are stronger.
Thank you for writing this. Already on twitter the White House has posted how they’ve arrested 538 & detained 373 illegal aliens & they’re using military planes (C-17s) to fly them (didn’t say to where they were being flown). I ofc posted you arrested citizens including a veteran (using caps). We knew they were going to round up citizens! I hope they can sue but I doubt it. This is horrifying.
I add that the most we can do is to keep saying the truth in as simple and straightforward way in the best way it can be said.
It's not easy to do that and it takes practice. We must keep at it.
Another thing we can do is what humans did when still in small bands, before organized civilizations, and that's to shun, shame, ostracize, and boycott those who act in selfish and harmful ways that bring us down as a people. The ones who are murdering, exterminating, and destroying the lives of innocent, good people.
It's not much, but if as JP advises, we stick together, our power will grow.
You know ICE agents are just humans, right? One doesn't have to be a superhero to make them bleed. Be smart about and realize the consequences, but to pretend that individuals have no power to bring pain to these flesh bags is disingenuous. Many won't be needed to take these actions, and most people can't throw away their lives by taking this course of action. But realize that some of us see no future ahead, and refuse to allow this cancer to go unabated. We've all seen how LE freeze in the face of direct danger ICE are no different. Like the American military, these agencies are only adept when they've monopolized violence, and go against defenseless societies. Don't be that society. Body armor only protects from blunt force trauma, not fire. Vehicles can easily be made inoperable. ICE have veins that drain the same liquid as the rest of us.
Okay. We got this. Right?! We got this.

They preach individualism because they fear the power of the collective.
They teach othering because they fear we'll find common cause.

Just read through the additional resources--thank you so much for sharing those!!
I especially appreciated that last convergencemag one!!
So glad I saw that one! And very glad you find it helpful as well
Fantastic article. I'm reading "No More Heroes" by Jordan Flaherty right now, and this aligns well with the core message of the book.
So encouraging and very specific guidance so that we don’t become paralyzed by the overwhelming feeling of having no control!
Thank you for this.

So true of everything we need to do

Lincoln’s Birthday? Every city in the US? Who’s an organizer. How can we organize something?
Yes. 👍
A conscientious post. Thanks.
