    I don’t think you’re picking up what I’m putting down. I’m saying that the courts are one tool in our resistance toolbox, because the Trump regime still sometimes listens to court rulings—as their authoritarian takeover isn’t complete. I’m not saying courts are magical in that they’ll instantly stop Trump forever, and I’m not saying they’re sufficient on their own. We have to keep resisting and practicing non-cooperation as well.

            Get in touch with your local resistance groups. The way to effectively resist rising authoritarianism, IMO, is together.

              They don’t advertise honey, and my local resistance group, from what I can see, likes to wear furry outfits and dance on the corner near the ICE facility. I need something more substantial than that.

                Mate, its called putting in effort, something you say none of us are doing. Turns out, its just you projecting your laziness.

                    How is it inaccurate? You say that we aren’t resisting, somebody said that your local resistance orgs are, and you say that you saw the furries and assumed that was all of them.

                    That is literally you complaining that you’re being too lazy to find or found an effective org. I’m in a rural town of less than 2k and we’ve managed to grow our local org to over 40 people in just a few weeks. Stop whining and do some work.

                I’m guessing based on the furry outfits you’re in Portland. If so, look up “indivisible portland” or “50501 portland.” And if you’re not in Portland, just substitute your city or area.
