Remember. They want us to be afraid. The way to resist is build community and solidarity, it is coming together in our neighborhoods. Feed each other at potlucks. Organize neighborhood self care. Make the focus of your life building solidarity with neighbors. Organize. Talk. Organize. Celebrate with each other.
Build community SOLIDARITY.
And it doesn't hurt to fuel it with some righteous fucking anger. A favorite of mine from the 1990s was Rage Against the Machine.

If you don't already know the history of people's resistance in the US make it a point to learn that. Start a weekly study group to look at indigenous resistance. Learn about the early radical, direct action labor movement of the late 1800s, the Wobblies in the early 1900s. And everything in between and after. The US was built on genocide, slavery and white supremacy but along with that was a constant resistance. Knowing the rich tapestry of that resistance can feed our struggle today.

I suspect a lot of us here know much of this already. But I suspect that many outside of activist circles do not. It's been a long time since I was in school but I don't recall the people's history being taught. And with good reason. It forms a foundation for resistance that we can draw on.
Nothing we face now is new. This shit is old. The resistance is old.
Tap into the books and the culture that the radical resisters have been writing and creating and find inspiration and strength.
