Some of those ideas seem to be used quite a lot by the rightwing, I even recognize some of the standard DU troll tactics, so they're fair game!

actually INSIDE the system. (It's also quite funny).

If I knew how to, I'd post this on r/fednews. They could apply these inside the agencies and would probably find them hilarious.

I am constantly asking the question "What do we do?" This is actual black and white steps to follow. Anything like this helps. If anyone has more information or resources like this please let me know where I can find them.

These have been expanded upon, but the foundation is the OSS Field Manual.

Times and tactics change, but Resistance begins with the mindset, "I will not comply".

This can be tough since there are many things to consider. Retaliation can be brutal, friends, family, neighbors, and many others can be put into grave danger. As a nation, we have not had to deal with such situations in the past, but the future is unknown. Considering that the current administration is filled with lackeys, dullards, and those who consider their own views as the only "legitimate" points to maintaining a "government of the people", we are poised to Resist with everything at our disposal.
(caveat: I do not advocate violence).

They cannot "win" if we never comply with their unethical and criminal behavior.
