Y'all. If you're part of the resistance...Keep showing up.

Rest when you need to. Remember this is a marathon or a relay race, not a sprint.

Not everyone has the same skillset. Use that to place people where they fit best.

Give them hell.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

Amazing! Thank you so much!!
