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.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance
- Do not organize specific subversive plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

Put a piece of cloth in your shoe, like a small folded dish towel. People can recognize your walk and identify you just as easy as seeing your face.
Arrive and leave from a large crowd if you can, assume you are being followed there and back and change into your "hero" costume in a restroom or other area off camera.
So 30 people went into this toilet, 30 came out but only one of them changed. We got em.
Think carefully about where you change.
Not 'people' but AI-assisted gait analysis. Scan of video footage identifies points on body, tracks movement of those points through space, represents this as output of an algorithm, which generates a result (e.g. a long sequence of numbers like a barcode) which is unique to you. They cannot i.d. you by name and address unless they have your biometrics on record but it is a potential way to identify you just like fingerprints or dna and will stay on record and might hurt you in future.
Shoes also leave very identifiable prints, so buy secondhand burners with cash.
