Individuals acting individually results in nothing except the death of a comrade. Action happens through coordination, intelligence gathering and collective action.

I mean thats true but i think many people are too afraid/low energy/uninformed to unite with others in order to coordinate. But i hope i am wrong and the people of the U.S. take back their country before Drumpf and his Goons have done too much damage (which i guess you could argue has already happened).

If the country goes whaere it looks like it is going

Eventually we each are going to have to decide

When a resistance group is formed ..

Will you join?

And what are you willing to do?

Curiously I'm having to deal with this very conflict. I want to join the resistance, but I'm (literally) allergic to sunlight (which precludes street demonstrations) and I'm a goblin when it comes to in-person social development, such as organizing.

The mutual aid groups in Sacramento are scarce, so it's difficult to ask them.

Do I make useful memes and infographics? Not sure.

Curiously, the nearest ICE hq is in San Francisco, and there are resistence movements there interfering with ICE action.

Dude, get yourself connected with your local resistance organizations anyway! There are so many ways to contribute that aren't waving cardboard signs in the sunlight—research, making maps, updating websites, emailing politicians, running social media outreach, designing signs for printing, surveillance, counter-surveillance, reporting, and yes, making infographics. There are even organizations that conduct themselves almost entirely online.

Probably cook.

Travel along with the resistance, tending to troops, fixing meals, fetching ammo, just a worker bee in the military machine.

I was hoping at the No Kings demonstration at the California capitol, there'd be a pavilion giving away free tacos, and I'd volunteer to help make them. Alas, no one else acted on the idea.

Option two was to find one of the organizers and man a free water bottle station. But those didn't happen either. Demonstrators were just advised to bring snacks and water.

Only after the fact did I notice the local mutual aid orgs had very little online presence. So, yeah, I'm back to researching. If I do ever find the Rebel Alliance, then conversations will be had. For now, I'm looking at groups like Indivisible with limited success.

In the 30's and 40's resistances were everywhere and weren't always visible. Spreading the news or setting up infrastructure for resistance movements were just as viable as boots on the ground and protests.
