We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

Federal Workers! Flood the DOGE "Suggestion Boxes" (mander.xyz)

Hey fellow federal workers, I noticed a DOGE "suggestion box" near the entrance to my building today, and I'm assuming other offices have them, too. Start putting your best suggestions in there and flood them with good ideas. Some examples: "Stop costly deportation flights" or "Disband DOGE" or "Stop targeting trans people"

Will it make a difference? Probably not, but at least some DOGE kid will have to read how much their policies suck while wasting their time combing through the mountain of paper. Or at the very least it'll bury any ideas from sympathizers that could be actually damaging.

I wonder if there's a way to combine it with the ideas talked about in this post https://ponder.cat/post/2961831

The article talks about how powerful mockery and jokes can be. Which makes sense. It's more fun to tell jokes that make austere criticisms so you can pull people into it with you and grow the number of people participating

And jokes have a more impactful ability to create shame than serious expressions of discontent.

Its a thought! Maybe folks could start contexts to see who could write the most scathing, hilarious jokes about doge
