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.
Other communities to check out, in addition to the State-centric ones, are !General@50501.chat for general discussion, !Brainstorming@50501.chat for brainstorming, and, of course, !Resist@fedia.io for a more general discussion of the resistance.
With apologies to the latter for posting this somewhat clickbait-y post in their community - I tried writing something that could hopefully gain some traction across different platforms. I hope that's alright! :)

In fact, do me a solid and repost this to !resist@fedia.io as a thread, because it's posted as a microblog, and I'm sure people are going to miss it. I only caught it because I have the /c/m set to "loud," so I got a notification.
I posted it as a microblog in an attempt (more or less successful) to make it feel somewhat native to potential Mastodon/other microblogging users who would stumble over it - while I'm sure those in the Threadiverse will find these communities soon enough, I wanted to make an effort to spread the word a bit further.
For Lemmy users, it's visible in the main feed. It's just those of us on Mbin who have to live with it being a bit hidden, ironically. π₯²
