Resistance Starts with Community

Hey there, fellow troublemakers, it’s time to cut through the crap, light a fire under your ass, and figure out how to keep this democracy from swirling down the cosmic toilet.

Today I’m writing about one simple idea: Community. That’s right—meeting real people, in real life, to do real shit. Shocking, isn’t it? In a world of endless social media posts and doom scrolling, let’s focus on what’s right in front of us: the local network that fuels resistance.

Alright, folks, here’s the deal: you can’t fight something if you don’t know what the hell you’re up against. Authoritarianism usually sneaks in through the back door—politicians quietly changing voting rules, centralizing power, and scapegoating folks who can’t catch a break. Before you know it, your rights have gone on an all-expenses-paid vacation without you.

So, what’s our big job? To flip the script. If their game plan is to divide and conquer, ours is to connect and collaborate. They go after the most vulnerable, so we stand up for each other. They want us blissfully ignorant, we get educated—and we do it together. Trust me, you don’t need a fancy certificate to give a damn. You just need to open your eyes and see the B.S. for what it is.

Big changes start with small steps. One voice, one conversation, one group chat at a time.

Don’t let propaganda turn your brain to mush, democracy isn’t some magic trick performed by politicians—it’s a team sport, and we’re on the roster- whether we like it or not. Let’s remind the powers that be they can’t screw us over if we refuse to bend.

So stay alert, stay loud, and don’t let the bastards grind you down.

Now, get out there and raise some hell—in the friendliest way possible, of course
