Resist: It's Time

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.

in the eyes of the law probably nothing is harmless if it's impeding the police

no doubt they will use this as an excuse to engage with "non lethal" force

"less lethal" now since they don't actually have non lethal methods.

If I was on a jury I would judge any retaliation at that point to be self defense.

Cops will make up any excuse they want to deem a protest a riot and use riot munitions.

People in the USA, however, need no excuse to protest right now.

If blowing bubbles is a threat of assault leading to arrest, they will see throwing pink paint as way over the line. https://youtu.be/LaoXZeVTJAc
