Ok ok one other thing: I think a lot of white women got enthralled with the idea of “The Resistance” last time and then ended up doing literally NOTHING but posting shit on the internet.
True resistance in this era is the unsexy work of making sure people in your own community don’t die.

It is time to educate yourself to organize folks however you can and to build support.

This is work. It is not knitted hats. It is work. Rewarding, life saving work.
And we all need to get on with it.
For that type of revolutionary organizing work, some of them were murdered.
I still wish there was more I could do beside work locally to provide clothing & food to folks but for now...
BUT, I do ask myself some very hard questions abut how far I would go if need be.
I cull through rotting veggies & fruit to make sure we aren't insulting clients w/ garbage, move 100s lbs of food,carry groceries to their car in temps of 10F or 95F.
These are folks,majority either MAGA or did not vote. They still deserve food.
"Blue wave, Join The Resistance"
and when I ask what we do BESIDES this obsessive posting and tweeting, I usually get no answer.
