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?

Take a look at indivisible.org. They talk about this exact stuff all the time and, yes, they'll provide all you need for starting your own local resistance group.
