Hey God! Can't you do something about this nightmare about to happen? Smote Trump with your mighty smoter ? Send Jesus back but this time as a martial arts warrior? Or how about Mary as Xena, Princess warrior? Something like that.
We didn’t resist anything last time anyway? We (including me) all just angry shitposted on social media while they took over the Supreme Court and raised our taxes
Please don't lump us all in with your "we"...I joined local political groups, arranged letter writing campaigns, volunteered my services in helping immigrants to get their appropriate trade licenses in my state....
Please don't think I'm bragging or boasting, I did what I could. I also think the pink hat generalization of the march overlooks one important thing. The unity and sheer sense of togetherness it brought people. After the election results came in, it was very disheartening.
At first, I was in flight mode. IMMEDIATELY made plans and arranged things for an escape because this path were going down is going to be bad. After I processed the stages of grief, yes, I feel a sense of unity. Don't get me wrong, with each cabinet pick,I get nervous and think things out
It was very dark for some of us and we felt alone. To go to this march, feel the sense of comradery was very comforting. For at least me it was. The idea of organizing something and participating instead of just sitting behind a keyboard made most people who attended gem a sense of
"I'm not in this alone"... The idea that one person thought of the pink hat idea and the word spread, quickly (the pattern was designed and given it for free from several prominent knit designers), showed any idea of hope can be spread quickly.
The one silver lining with the capitulation from spineless corporate democrats in the media is that we won't have to see any self important "Democracy dies in darkness" promos for the next 4-8 years on everything all the time
Living. Nobody is resisting anything being a keyboard warrior on the Internet, making tech bros who own these places a billion dollars. We can quit the revolution larping.
Ok and you can do that without applying cringey labels to it lol write things that push back against establishment thinking. Galileo did that all the time and made himself the enemy of the church he didn’t need to waltz around calling himself “the resistance”
In fact calling himself “the resistance” would have just made himself even more enemies with people who just want to be normal lol and whacked by the church even faster
😂😂😂 if you are planning something maybe don’t do it on an app that is spying on you. This is the problem with revolution larpers. Not smart enough to plan one that would actually work. You’ll just end up like the MAGA larpers, swept up by the FBI from your social posts lmao
I don't understand what you're assuming, but understand that bluesky is a decentralized social network that allows you to run your own servers outside of US jurisdiction.
Internet addiction, among other things have brought us to this moment. Sooooooooo much dis/mis, false Information out here and no real accountability.
Combined with our poisoned media ecosystem that's bought and paid for, we simply do not have widely used, reliable news sources.
True, but the internet, with its tech bros, has given us a useful tool to spread information. Just like they do. In that respect we should not let up. If they are smart, they'll let it go, because when that's gone, it leads to actual revolt.
☝🏻Get your near and dear community members to organize with you on Signal instead. Infosec and therefore opsec are non-existent on social media and that's practically by design.
Lol how does spreading information make you end up in a list? Your saying that Trump will be violating the constitution and removing freedom of speech? Planning to what extent because there are legal plans that can take place on Social Media that should not include a list? You sound full of it.
Lol talking about keyboard warriors, this happens IRL as well you have the right to voice your opinion and stand against the president, the FBI, cops if you disagree or if they are taking illegal actions it's what America is based off of without being considered a criminal.
I have the right and so does everyone to challenge any action whether that be by the President, FBI, a cop or anything such as we have freedom of speech. I can legally tell a cop to fuck off IRL and have done so the only keyboard warrior here is you. It's part of America.
In other countries as well when people don't agree they rise up and that doesn't just go for America as well it goes for any Democracy as it's what makes a Democracy. So bitch STFU talking about moving away from Social Media. If police are acting illegally it will be called out.
You know how many Cops have put their hands on me? Multiple cause I don't stand down to no one and I know my rights, you can give yours up if you want little bitch. I would die fighting for my rights than give them up and bend over to some pathethic fuck.
It's simply the free market working naturally. I created this account after I got suspended from the criss-cross one for posting my YouTube music recap despite using the bird app since 2012. That's not a sustainable product. Consumers will try your competitors
Idk- it makes me think of the people who stood against fascism in WWII. I don’t mind it. I just think we need to up the level of resistance-until they are met with a force they cannot overcome.
THE BIG PAYBACK
You sold me out for chicken change (yes, you did)
Told me, yeah, they, they had it all arranged
You had me down and that's a fact
Now you, punk, you gotta get ready
For the big payback (the big payback)
That's where I land, Lord, for the big payback
Like it or not that’s kinda what it is. And if that’s how everyone is uniting and growing the community then so be it. I’m down with it. Love, peace, and chicken grease🫡💙🇺🇸
I guess if you’re one of those people who thinks resistance is a moment in time where you’ve been sufficiently triggered into actually doing something, maybe it seems like there have only been moments of resistance, instead of the actual generational work it has been. Miss me with it
One can see the connection, with SpaceX and unrealistic ambitions of living on Mars, and so on. We rely on musk’s technology too much, he’s a proven oligarch. Maybe a multinational general strike of those companies would help?
Not at @actiontogethernepa.bsky.social where we put action in the name to do organizing in PA. 😁 It maybe looked 🎹 y, keyboardy to those who were inbalanced in clacking keys versus clanging bells.
Living and loving and working in rural PA, we need all the help, be it digital, analog, or, both.
Thanks, it is something I am trying to do better. I myself am far to prone to keyboardery and not doing the things necessary to bring about the change I believe in.
How ‘bout we just do the hard work to protect our democracy? The people who will be impacted the most and first will not care about a name; they will care that we are there fighting for them. That they are not alone.
Perhaps we should fight under the name of the political party so it’s clear who is fighting for the people and democracy. When those who see reality and want to join it is clear who to join with at a local level. Plus any election going forward essentially matters. 💛
I’m cringing at the a group on Facebook that calls itself the Resistance. I left quietly, it’s mostly whiners. I’m about trying to mitigate the evils, and holding out my ideals as a copy source for all the folks who’ll eventually realize the betrayal and loss from their deal with the devil.
Don’t care: it is doing the actual work. In TX, GLO sent letter to Trump saying they “acquired 16,000” acres of land in Starr County & offered it for Detention Center”. 5,800 acres we believe are my client’s. So we are fighting back now before they start building. call me whatever.
Nah...i'll stick with the Resistance. I've been doing it long enough to understand the struggle against greed and anti-humanitarian policies to call it otherwise.
Especially since it’s a resistance that doesn’t resist — most still talking about political campaigns and haven’t even figured out we’re fighting a war for our lives.
...has us just parroting the same rhetoric as the opposition. If Kamala won, they would be: the Resistance, "Not my President" etc etc. There has to be something better than just being the same thing we oppose. Not a way forward but a way upward...
Don't think I only reduce him to cornball, lol, I think he was the modern beginning of the slippery slide to where we are now, I just mean the verbiage he would use in his never off the set persona of Norman Rockwell Americana which was bullshit. I HATED him and Nancy's adoring gaze. 🤢
No arguments to any of the above. Eliminating the Fairness Doctrine has done as much damage as trickle down economics. All of the worst parts of our culture started being celebrated again, starting with Reagan. The shame of watergate & Vietnam became too much & we escalated American exceptionalism
It would only be a resistance if they did more than post online outrage. The Dems didn’t even ask for recounts; even where wingnuts were illegally given election database files to play with, FFS.
Thank you. ‘The Resistance’ sounded like we were about to storm the Death Star, but all we did was tweet angrily and buy merch. Let’s retire it with dignity—or at least silence.
Maybe we can start referring to ourselves as “the right”. We support the right to choose, the rights of humanity, the right mindset etc. appropriating “the right” would be so disturbing to the wrong right
If Democratic leaders are part of any group, I’m out. They haven’t proven to me in 40 years that they will go the distance for us like we do for them. I’m not a resister anymore, I’m rebelling against all career pols in DC
I love you God, but DON’T DO THIS! It doesn’t matter what you call it. Resistance, rebellion…standing against the fascism that faces us is the only thing that matters. We don’t need a committee on naming or messaging. We need to stand up for the future of our country no matter how we “brand” it.

@godpod.bsky.social, we need some suggestions.
Maybe call it "The Unfuckening"¿
I searched everywhere and even looked under the table.
Big words do not always lead to big deeds.

What people say (publish) online can have a very, VERY real world effect.
There are lots of negative examples .. bomb threats to hospitals in the US, racist riots sparked by social media in the UK.
So why not push back in the opposite direction?
I mean, literally. As the Cathars were.
And they were vegetarian pacifists who literally wouldn't have offered any resistance to anyone .. 😡
56 days left to prepare.
Combined with our poisoned media ecosystem that's bought and paid for, we simply do not have widely used, reliable news sources.
Decentralized peer to peer platforms exist, and are near impossible to stop.
Only make plans with trusted folks, away from public view.

Or
"Justice league of America and superman."
Calling it a Rebellion has far less pun opportunity.
"Police Action" ?

Dude, you're the literal god of melodrama.
I love star wars and appreciate a good genX, 70;s reference but do agree we can do better.
