Resist: It's Time

0 readers

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.

Each protest has been bigger than the last.

Millions came out on April 5th.

April 19th will be impossible to ignore!

In a funny coincidence, April 19 also happens to be the day that officially started the American revolutionary war exactly 250 years ago.

Thermite is just a mixture of Iron Oxide and aliminum, you can buy it online.

Ugh, as I told my high school chem teacher (and the school cop and the member of the local police bomb squad), thermite isn't explosive.

You might as well say "mig welders just need 240 volts of energy"

What's your point? Thermite isn't a weapon. It's a tool.

If the fascits declare Marshal law, it makes more sense to get empty glass bottles, rags, and some highly flammable liquid. Thermite is extremely nonvolatile and doesn't make sense here.

You can obtain loads of free glass bottles in recycling bins behind bars, rags (not synthetic!) from the dumpsters behind goodwill, and gasoline can be siphoned from car tanks. More info:

Anyone have this without the obnoxious Reddit logo to print out and post around?

Edit, if I don’t see one by tonight I see how trivial it is now I’ll go ahead and do it and upload it here 👍

Edit 2, here it is, let’s get these up!

-Look, the plebs are enjoying the spring weather on their free day. Let's see if we can squeeze them a bit more.

Protest + boycott + general strike = power of the masses. Protest alone stopped the Iraq War, and genocide in Gaza and even the financial crisis. No, wait I read that wrong, protest does nothing unless its step 1.

Protest is a great first step to get people doing something, anything, and showing others that something is being done and they're safe to join in.

I meant to ask but forgot, how did the last one go? That was for April 5th right?

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Over 5 million people reportedly came out.

Many pictures and videos:
