My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

You know, to make the numbers disadvantage less so.
with dipsticks that were too long, so they would read "plenty of oil" when they should have read "add a lot of oil RIGHT NOW". Needless to say, those trucks broke down constantly.

Thank you for this thread.
It can be minor, or major like the Sea Shepherd, making it too expensive for the opposition to carry on.

Pretend the numbers about the election are something other than what they obviously are. Stash the files in boxes in the bathroom. Make up whole new meanings of legal phrases. There must be SOME merit to it, or he wouldn't do it, right?
The three basic approaches: stealth, speed, or bluff.
Where is #5?
Resist the urge to blab about it.
Written by Robert Heinlein in 1964.
Unrelated. What happened to 5?
Just look at places like /r/fednews. That's a resistance cell.
These days, of course, clipboards are relics of the past.
Right out in the open.
case in point: Trump dodged his complicity & endorsement of Project 2025 precisely b/c enough people thought it too blatant to be true
Looking at you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social.
And no I’m not speaking metaphorically
Did the French Resistance speak metaphorically? No, they fucked Nazi things up. Push will come to shove soon enough, so have a plan. Connect.

You can’t get better advice than from a resistance fighter.
I deliberately took my time with another customer and talked more so I didn't have to serve him. I saw my other coworkers keeping an eye on him.
The entire line was giving him dirty looks too.
The resistance is here.
We either don't sell to them or we charge double.
I also plan on following every MAGA hatted person I see walking into a bathroom. I won’t mess with them but I will watch them the entire time and follow them back out. No one is messing with people in the bathroom on my watch.
(And yeah, men’s rooms, too.)
I was taught much of this by my grandfather, who was a charter pilot before WWII, and kept stateside because he was too valuable as a flight instructor.
But he was often chosen to fly dignitaries around the country, and later became a
He taught my sisters and me to camp, build a one-match fire, and drive a car; our grandmother taught us organic gardening, seed saving and cooking from scratch, and they taught us thrift from their years during the Depression.
Ordered, thanks

In itself, a small act of defiance! 💪🏼

I told her that sane America did not vote for the rancid satsuma and they are suffering as much as the uneducated moonshine MAGAs are going to.
Trump is a nazi.
I think ppl believe Democrats aren't patriotic and nothing could be further from the truth. We would never ignore the Constitution and usher in a dictatorship. And we love our military.
My father tragically died in a Navy aircraft in MD in 1953. He was in the reserves & that day, there was a short in the plane. The plane exploded mid-air; 7 men (w my dad) all perished. I was 9 mos.
Then things got much worse for women.
300,000 Jewish people went to DC. Largest “protest” of Jews ever.
Then things got worse for Jews.
I live in the northeast and I went to both NYC & DC to protest
I also ran across these.

Here’s another article, mostly about the statue that was erected in MP’s honour. The author mentions the war monument to men. Interestingly, the are now also has reproductions of a well known artist, Alex Colville, who was a WWII war artist.

What we need is a DDoT attack -- distributed denial of tyranny.
Identification of simulated test subjects is essential too.
He was not prime minister. He was the leader of the fascist party NS. He took the opportunity when the Germans invaded, and the King and the elected government had to flee Oslo to seize power and pronounced himself "minister president", a non-existent title.
Understood? (Rhetorical question. I know you do. No reply needed.)
I’ve been needing a ray of hope!

They don't like unpredictable factors.
Phil Ochs is another great songwriter who left us way too soon and needs to be more widely known.
Resistance all the way! Fuck USA!!
Poignant and powerful…
I might add one thing… be aware, the adversary has made use of these very tactics to “put us in check”. Checkmate requires our acquiesce.

Don’t. Give. In.
Act small, act now.
First time I had a chance to watch it it was already dudebros celebrating over automatic grenade launchers…
Looking back now it’s weird to realize oh they were apparently taking notes 😳
We hope upon hope that thee un will help us.
We're pretty certain the election results were rigged by muskolini
I figure they will complete in just a couple weeks.
Pressure Republicans to impeach! That means calling & protesting their homes
U think getting off the Russian power grid in the Baltics was random? bombing of the pipeline? Putin’s fantasy of ruling Europe won’t end well. His economy is already toast. Army depleted.
The Norwegian Resistance played a big part in ensuring the Nazis didn't complete the atomic bomb

As a boy growing up in northern Scotland, I was always fascinated by the story of the Shetland Bus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shetland_bus
I haven't checked

I lived in Orkney for many years but now I'm in Aberdeenshire
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of the Shetland Bus. What people were willing to do, the dangers they faced. Exceptional bravery.
Augustus and Livia used the Iliad in Greek to encode messages.

He had Burma Star, hated Japanese, gave me this book👇
But when my father returned home they were held in barracks: Following sinking of Lancastria, PM W. Churchill imposed a media blackout fearing what the news would have on British nation in midst of its darkest hour. 5 weeks later NY newspapers broke the story of disaster🤔
On his death bed in hospital, in delirium, the hospital ask my eldest brother if he’d come in asap as he was shouting about being sorry for those he’d killed, my brother deduced WWII, but didn’t know where or who🤔
