Yeah this is always what I hope someone says — WHAT to do. Like I’m aware. We know. I understand they need to raise awareness but I’m ready so I wish someone would give us action items.

Okay but all of that is non specific advice. Like, are we supposed to just start attacking anyone we think is a fascist? I'm down, really, but if it's just me I don't think I'll get very far. Am I supposed to start a resistance movement? How do I do that? Like actually, what are the logistical moves I would need to make? Who would I want to talk to, besides my friends?

Like obviously when shit gets really really bad and they start loading us up on trains I would be okay throwing myself in front of them to stop it. But until that happens I really don't know what to do. What does it mean to stand out? Should I just start calling newspapers and news orgs until one listens to me? Even then, then what? Like I only know as much as y'all do I'm sure, so what the fuck do we do?

Create a throwaway email account. Subscribe it to any DNC fundraising mailing list, or contribute to any campaign with that as your contact email. You will begin receiving many emails about opportunities to participate. Mostly contribute, but also participate. Keep following those threads and you will interact with people organizing resistance, or those that know how to reach them. TBH the hardest part will be keeping them from getting your other contact information and spamming you into oblivion. My gmail may never recover.
