Iran’s top diplomat warned Sunday that the U.S. attacks on its nuclear sites “will have everlasting consequences” and that Tehran “reserves all options” to retaliate.
It’s a form of inaction and doomerism. “I voted the right way. My hands are clean… as we all march towards authoritarianism while nobody bothers to resist.” I don’t care how you voted. Get on the resistance train now or I guess see you in CECOT.
The best way to resist fascism is the way that YOU will actually do. So if, for you, it’s calling your congresspeople from the comfort of your home, do that. If it’s going to protests, do that. If you’d rather be the hero escorting migrants from their court hearings, do that. If you’re the type of person who gets a kick out of making a giant ruckus outside the hotels where ICE agents are staying so they can’t sleep and ultimately get evicted, do that. And if your preferred means of resistance is, let’s be honest, a little more naughty, do that.
The best way to do any of the above, IMO, is to get involved with a local resistance or advocacy organization. (Here’s one place you can start.) Strength in numbers and everything.
My point though is that this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. It’s not the time for infighting or purity testing or hand wringing. It’s the time to fight.

Serious question- what do you recommend as the best way to resist fascism?
