Having been out of 'movement politics' on a street level at least for many years, I'm hoping that Resist reaches out to older movement veterans to help learn from tactical successes, and to avoid mistakes made in the past. I want to talk about affinity groups and training methodology for the new era of mass protests. The trumpists will use Provocateurs in group protests and organization meetings. We need to get ahead of disruptors now.

I appreciate the useful information contained in the newsletter. It is succinct and specific. I especially appreciate the resources for online security. I am hoping that future newsletters will not punctuate the message with profanity. To me it is unnecessary and dims the seriousness of its content. Thank you for your consideration.

The link to Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Surveillance Self-Defense kit took me to the 20 Rules. As did the link to the 20 Rules. If this could be repaired, it would be a great help. Thanks!

The whole world is waiting

Time to listen.

I feel sorry for MAGA they are about to experience pain that they could not have imagined this conman would cause them.

We are more than ones and zeros

Why are we allowing a small -very small group of people to cause so much damage to our government and get away with it? We must outnumber them by the millions. Time to take a stand and let them know their time is up. This administration and all his minions need to go for the sake of our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren . We owe it to them.

Ask your Democratic representatives about using the HATCH Act.

We need to be boycotting those that are funding these assholes.

Use Amazon as a search tool, then get off Amazon and go directly to the e-store to buy.

Stop using Google that is monitored -> Use Ecosia search. Instead of gmail -> encrypted Proton.me.

Use FB/Instagram in limited amount to direct people to Bsky, Substack, Mastodon, Tumblr

Move your money out of US banks to Canadian ones. Tell banks "Trump/Vance have made you lose confidence in US financial institutions and until they are out of office so is your money from their banks" Bonus even if this Gilead Govt stops women from having US bank accounts....we still have OUR money. [Also women get tubes tied and buy BRUTS, good way to bite rapist back!]

Stop drinking the coolaid Julie. No one is paying us. The only way the right can discredit the rising you are facing now is to use 'others" tactics that Dick Cheney and Rove developed in the 80's. It seems you are hard against wealthy liberals supporting progressive causes but when Musk pumps in $250 million dollars to Trump supported events you are cool with it. Bear in mind that it was you guys that Passed citizens United 10 years ago. That act of a republican congress allowed a flood of right-wing dark money to fund fascist and neofascist demonstrations across the country. It's the coke brothers, musk and the shelton adleman trust fund that got Trump elected, so if you are against paid protestors, you should look closer at who is funding trump rallies, not the people protesting on their own dime for economic justice.
