When the state orders illegal arrest warrants, what to do?

"Captain! CAPTAIN! They're shooting at us!"

I know, easy enough to say, but we have to draw a fucking line in the sand and say, "My life is worth giving to fight fascism." America is not some foreign land, the goals here are not nebulous political objectives. The enemy is at the gates.

Loads of "funny" posts around here about how no one wants to live this life any longer. Not so fucking funny when faced with death, actual black, endless nothing. Been there done that, never been so scared. But facing death a couple of times does give one perspective. In any case, I will not live in fascist America. I. Fucking. Refuse.

Also, I'm middle-aged, easier for me than a young man with a full life ahead. But for me, in my place, I am a fucking pit viper vs. these animals. Do not stir me. Yeah, I said it, these fascists are subhuman to my mind. I'm not waiting on excuses, I am actively looking for excuses.

Gave my MAGA neighbor the Nazi salute I give every single time I pass his house. LOL, got the cops called on me for calling him a fascist and his wife a fat-ass Nazi cunt. When he came stomping down here to kick me ass, he had no idea how close I came to ending his life on this street. Florida is "stand your ground"! Isn't that what the conservatives wanted? My brown, legal, immigrant wife, "stop that". I refuse. "No, this fucker needs to know that despite his friends and family and FaceBook echo chamber, some of us will fight him, he is my enemy."

While this strategy won't help fascism overall, I also have no alternative option for you. I can see why you're driven to rage.

😂 Using the joker meme is some brutal honesty
