The resistance is appearing in unexpected places.



This sign in a yard in the People's Republic of Minneapolis was put up shortly after the election. It lights up bright pink. I love it.

Our spirits could use a boost. We know the media isn't our friend & IMO we've failed badly on that front the past 45 years, letting the media & the GOP define us. Now the media's cowed by Trump & they really don't want to cover dems in any positive way. Now is not the time for timidity from our leaders.

It's a new congress. Maybe they're regrouping & need a bit of time, but I don't have a lot of confidence we'll see much pushback. There will be some voices, sure, but not as a group, an entire party. We've been going-along-to-get-along for a long time. A true opposition party would never have let it get this bad & we're never going to have a true opposition party as long as our electoral process is a for-profit industry. And that was what we were up against before Trump.

Humanity's on a deadline that's getting closer & closer. This is really the global elite's a last grab for power & resources before it all crashes. Man, do I feel for the little kids in my neighborhood & the shit they're gonna see. But I guess from their perspective it will be like frogs in a pot. ???

to signify "mourning".

Hmmm... I like the Resistance sign, but what about something to alert like-minded people like us, to stump others, like once we see it we know they are part of the resistance. What would be considered??? A bird, (eagle or dove), initials like RF (Resist Fascism), or something else like a play on words, BTP (Boston Tea Party) some sort of defiant act.

I would say that such a sight in Minneapolis is NOT unexpected. Folks have their feet on the ground here.

Tying black ribbons on trees? Or wreaths of black ribbon on doors?

I'm considering a black armband. I already wear black frequently but I usually do it with red or pink or blue as contrasting colors.

PERFECT!!!

Been wondering how it would show up, and this is GREAT!

Would do the same thing if my house were in public view, but it's not, way off the beaten path!
