American Opposition: Not sure I trust this organization
This group seems sus. Prove me wrong.
This is not an endorsement of this group.
Just the opposite. Posting this now before I do a deep dive on who and what this group is about. Will update later.
---
Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos is the guy behind this. A 2017 article tells a very amazing story of this uber-successful adventurer entreprenuer.
Curiously, Radical Artist's Agency out of Arvado, CO, has a short resume for a "Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos".
The posted site makes it sound like this American Opposition place was behind the Feb 5 protests ... but that was 50501, right?
Interestingly, r/50501 seems on board, but without any mod commentary there.

An "unannounced demonstration" by Nazis ends when upstanding citizens push past police, steal a Nazi flag, and set it on fire. The Nazis leave, and the resisters are not arrested.
These people were just going about their day, and it was important to enough people to stop and get directly involved. They took on risks of bodily harm and arrest. I'm willing to bet that none of them were "prepared" for the confrontation.

How to resist an oligarchy
Not everyone can, or needs to, be on the front lines and in the trenches shooting CEOs and blowing up pipelines, there are many other ways to help and organise which are essential not only to the resistance, but as building blocks for a better future
ID:
1 Title image says "How to resist an oligarchy" and has a drawing of 5 smiling people holding up their arms in a welcoming gesture
2 There are photos of trump, musk, zuc, and bezos next to text:
"Oligarchy:
a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution."
Their Goal:
For us to be overwhelmed, to ignore/avoid the growing information, and to feel helpless.
Our Goal:
Learn and focus on what we CAN do instead of why we can't."
3 text in a stylised frame says:
"Note: These suggestions are nothing new and may have to adapt to any environmental, governmental, and social changes that occur."
4 Drawing of a person holding a trey of freshly baked cookies, next to them is text:
"QUIET SUBVERSIVE:
If your calling is hiding ppl, driving women to clinics, mailing BC, or any illegal morally good activity, be paranoid.
Social media is not your friend. Zuck, Blue Sky, etc. will sell you out.
In order to be a Jane, you have to assume your life, lives of your Family/friends, and lives of the ones you are helping are in mortal danger.
As soon as you blast, "I'll hide Ann in my attic," you are no longer safe and not useful for this kind of work."
5 Drawing of a person handing out pamphlets to others, next to them is text:
"DISTRIBUTER:
This can be done by printing info. or providing online links.
For groups and orgs that can take the heat, such as Planned Parenthood, sharing and boosting their posts can be helpful.
If your calling is to print up red cards/make pamphlets, then anywhere you place this info is going to be targeted for destruction of materials.
Regularly drop off info and find new ways to get the word out. For smaller groups that need to stay somewhat obscure, be selective about sharing info."
6 There are 3 photos from mass demonstrations, between them is text:
"MARCHER:
Marches can be used for paying attention to which groups are attending.
Any group showing up with a banner is putting a giant target on themselves and they are going to need support. Volunteering with, or sending money helps them to continue showing up.
The focus of a march is disruption which can potentially lead to becoming a target.
Don't bring your phone. Don't share faces. Bring water and medical supplies.
Be prepared to be pepper sprayed, smoke bombed, hit by a baton, harassed if your face is passed around among fascists, and/or arrested/imprisoned."
7 Drawing of a person in camo, a paramedic, and a person adjusting their glasses, next to them is text:
"EDUCATOR:
These come in many forms: building, first aid, critical thinking, self defense, fact checking, science, map reading, psychology etc.
Anything that can help the quiet subversive, the information distributer, the marcher etc. etc. be more effective; keep up the good work of long threads and videos.
If you are not an expert, share media and videos from credible experts."
8 Drawing of a table with food on it, there are 3 people in line holding plates and 2 more serving up the food, above it is text:
"VOLUNTEER:
Soup kitchens, shelters, anywhere and everywhere people or animals are in need. Any and all good works towards our neighbors is resistance."
9 Drawing of a person curled up looking cosy, holding a pen and pad. There is also an image of the relevant book cover to the text beside it:
"REST:
Rest can be resistance.
From what I understand, it is about self care for the long haul.
For more information, I recommend reading "Rest is Resistance" by Tricia Hersey
CREATE:
Paint, write, draw, graffiti, design, music, videos, comedy.
If you are a creative person, use it to spread awareness, help raise funds, etc."
10 3 photos of places of worship, beside them is text:
"CHURCH GOER:
Historically, churches/synagogues/ mosques/temples have been a safe-ish place to gather in large groups and organize.
Anyone familiar with the history of black churches, or churches under Fascism, know there is potential for great good but also a risk of the church being burned, raided, bombed, or leaders being rounded up.
Whether you are a theist or atheist, consider finding a community that can gather and organize in large groups and become a regular contributing member.
As of 1/22/2024 ICE is legally allowed to raid churches, hospitals, and schools under illegal immigrant suspicion. They need a JUDGE ISSUED WARRANT. YOU ARE legally allowed to look at it and demand it.
11 Drawing of a person behind a stall, a photo of a large group of people behind a Planned Parenthood banner, and an illustrated banner for The Trevor Project. Between them is text:
"FINANCIAL SUPPORTER:
Every dollar has a potential to do good.
If you are able to put money towards a small business, especially if they are run by marginalized persons or groups, please do.
The billionaires won't be hurt and it won't stop them from aligning with Fascists but it will put money into hands of those needing to escape, needing aid, or in the hands of the above mentioned resisters."

Do what you can, and what you can do is enough. What are you doing?
What are simple things you are doing to help yourself and your neighbors right now? (US)
A lot of people are overwhelmed, and that is the point of the rapid fire changes we are seeing. Small actions can make a difference, and can grow into big impacts.
I live in a deeply red state, so a lot of my peers have to battle some cognitive dissonance before we can acknowledge there is a problem, much less begin to pin down actions that may help. So, I'm focusing on teaching my social circle on the tech basics. I have taken these things for grated, but I am finding many people do not use them. Plus, they don't have to battle their cognitive dissonance with me in order to make these changes. Changes that will make everyone on the Internet safer and ensure we have information access to stay informed.
-
Install a VPN - talking about it helps to normalize this. It doesn't mean "I have something to hide" it means "I need to protect my privacy in an ever increasingly online world". It means "I need to make sure my banking passwords stay secure." If it is normalized for everyday use, then when somebody needs it to obscure their search for critical healthcare information that is now censored in their country or area, their VPN usage alone doesn't give them away.
-
Install a password manager - this one is best practice anyway, and good advice across the board. These things do not need to be equated with being a hacker.
-
Establish secure lines of messaging - I recommend signal to people. This one has a high social cost, but you may be able to point out that normal text group chats often drop messages when the group has mixed apple and android users. YMMV and this one is a harder one for many people. I don't push it too hard. I do censor myself on unencrypted messaging. If you want all the memes, you can join me on encrypted chat! Lol
-
Secure chat doesn't have to be signal if you're on android, and you message others on android, note if you have the encryption lock or not. If not, encourage them to look in their settings for RCS messages and make sure they have encryption turned on.
Also, start small. And teach small. Plant the seed. Help get people set up where you can. If people as for your advice, think about suggestions that are easy to implement, even if they aren't perfect. Encourage others to do what they can. You don't need to self-host your own cloud server to take steps in the right direction and be a little safer online. We just need to slow them down.

7 Lies Cops Can Legally Tell You
I'm assuming this post was made by an American, and laws might vary where you are, but the point remains the same in every country: the cops are there to serve the state, not you, and they will not hesitate for a second to lie to you and pretend to be on your side to get what they need.
Don't trust them, don't believe them, don't confide in them, don't make their job of oppressing the working class easier.

Make sure to check all the FAQ stuff there, especially "Can I use whatever internet ..., because you should not be using a VPN, or public internet, or TOR, or a few other things.

Doxxing Trump Flag Wavers?
Not sure how to approach this so I'll just spew some thoughts.
Is there anything morally or legally wrong with taking pictures of MAGA-flag waving homes, looking the owners up on the local tax site and posting that information online? Pic, name, address, nothing else.
To my thoughts, they're proudly waving a flag promoting their beliefs. Could they legally complain for spreading that information? Isn't that the very purpose of a flag? Is it even doxxing when they proudly fly their flags? This isn't some person wishing to remain anonymous.
I'm certain lemmy would shut such a community down, in a New York minute, but why? If there are no calls for violence or harassment, why not help them spread their message?
Could such a site be deployed, perhaps outside social media? Zero chance of making such a site untraceable?
Got to nearly shaking in anger the other night as my legal, brown wife expressed her terror of being deported. Filipino FB is full of rumors and fear, and it seems mostly that, rumors. But we all know this administration won't stop with illegals.
I'm scared shitless, she's scared shitless, can we make the supporters scared shitless? And again, they're flying a flag, advertising to the world how they feel. Why should that make them afraid? And if they are, what can they do about it?
-
What to do about fear?
In the last two weeks, a lot of things have happened which are making a lot of people a lot of scared, and justifiably so. I'm not pretending that my personal situation is more dire than anyone else's. While some of the things going on do directly threaten my family, they're still currently at arm's length.
Someone was talking to me tonight about being scared, and I had some thoughts that might be useful.
Fear is what makes you focus and pay attention, and react to immediate threats. Humans evolved in an environment which is far more immediately dangerous than what we enjoy today. I think that fear is simply part of being human, and that when our brains don't get to experience dangers, we have to compensate for a lack of fear.
Now that there are "real" things to be afraid of, and we're so conditioned by personal experience to not be afraid, and we're still compensating for not being afraid ... while being afraid ... well, that's disorienting.
What I have done, what seems to be working for me, goes back to why I started this place here to begin with. Don't be worried, be prepared.
Worry is one thing, fear is another, of course. For me, I am adding Don't be afraid, pay attention and act accordingly. Again, I think that fear is what makes us focus and pay attention. Once you're paying attention, then you can better assess what the actual danger level is, and what your response (if any) should be.
This can be practiced in everyday situations. Example: I was driving the other day, and found myself at a stoplight. Cars in front of me, next to me, behind me. A curb and a steep slope down to my right. I didn't have an exit path for my car; if something "stupid" had happened at that moment, I would have had to abandon my car and take off on foot.
I wasn't afraid in that moment, but it came into my head to "look for an exit." What would it be? It would be running. I estimated that the likelihood that I would need to hoof it before the light changed was insignificant, but I was just a little more prepared than I was moments before.
I feel better thinking about fear as an important and necessary aspect of being human, and instead of trying to avoid it entirely, feeding little pieces to my brain consistently, and then consuming that fear with attention and planning.
Again, there are plenty more people in plenty more dire circumstances than I'm in right now, and I'm not trying to portray myself as some kind of superhero. But I'm finding that this way of addressing my own fears seems to be working for me, and if it works for me, it might work for someone else, too. We're all going to need a lot of endurance, and figuring out how to keep fear from taking away from that is a good thing.

1 I.C.E can now raid hospitals. Healthcare workers- here is what you need to know.
2 What Is an ICE Raid? ICE agents will go to a hospital without warning as part of an investigation into an employee or patient.
3 ICE agents are NOT police officers. But their uniforms may say "Police" or "Federal Agent. They may carry guns. Sometimes local police officers go with ICE agents on ICE raids
4 Medical providers can ONLY disclose a patient's information to ICE/LEO if there is a court order/warrant/subpoena/summons **** issued by a judge. ****
If it's an ICE agent WITHOUT a warrant, they must have an administrative request, such as a summons issued by a federal or state agency, like the Department of Homeland Security.
Otherwise, giving out patient information (even a name) is a HIPAA violation.
5 If they do have a warrant or administrative request, ASK TO SEE IT. They must let you examine the document. ICE agents RARELY have judicial warrants or requests.
Even if they have a warrant or an administrative request, you can refuse to tell them anything if doing so would jeopardize the patient, you as the provider, or others in the hospital.
You can ask them to leave the unit.
6 Please remember your oath during times like these. Immigration status should NEVER impact care.
It is up to us to protect our patients. We have to stand against this as a united medical community.

Urban Survival - How to siphon gas from modern vehicles
YouTube Video
Click to view this content.
tl;dw:
Modern cars are not as easy to siphon gas out of. You're going to need a narrow, semi-rigid tube to get past any check valve. Make sure this tube is long enough to reach the bottom of the tank.
Of course, if you're not concerned about the car, you can punch a hole in the bottom of the tank and capture the fuel that way, but you'll certainly waste some fuel.
@horse\_battery\_staple makes an excellent point: If you are uncertain about the quality of the fuel you are siphoning - whether that be because of its age, contaminants (rust/water), or if it has two stroke oil in it, be aware that the vehicle you run the fuel in may run badly, and you may incur mechanical problems, either in the short or long term. Generally speaking, "she'll run," especially if you're cutting the acquired fuel with known good fuel, but you should consider this as an "oh shit" option.

Idea: Posters
Long text post incoming!
Any popular resistance movement dies in the cradle if people feel isolated. Isolation breeds inaction. Therefore, to make people feel less isolated, word needs to go out to the general public to build solidarity and make them feel part of a greater whole. Resistors are not alone! It also has the psychological benefit of making oppressors feel surrounded (and rightfully so).
Therefore, to get those who want to resist motivated, we must advertise our cause. Thankfully, we live in a modern age where designing good looking graphics and printing them has never been easier.
The best information campaign will rely on guerilla tactics. Put posters up in heavy traffic areas outside, at work, in your neighborhood, on public bulletin boards, wherever needed to get the message out. One priority place would be inside government offices. There are plenty of federal workers who are resisting. If they put up even a few, we can psychologically terrorize the fascists, and this will force them to focus inward and divert from the rest of society.
Of course, these will be damaged or destroyed, whether intentionally or not, so we must be ready to replace posters as that happens, especially if it's ripped down.
Design: This, I think, is paramount. To attract those who may not like the current actions but are hesitant to really resist, it is important to use American symbology. Don't let the fascists take our flag, our symbols, our iconography. These things bind us together as Americans, and it can have an inspiring effect. We are all part of the greater whole.
Also highly important, make sure the designs are good. Marketers, graphic designers: that's your cue. If your an amateur, get the opinion of a trusted friend on a design.
If you don't have the time or ability to design, just take one off the internet. Therefore, I propose that we make repository of resistance posters on the web. Domains are cheap. VPSes are, too. It can also serve as a virtual poster.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you have some designs, post 'em, print 'em, and distribute 'em!

Know your rights
ID: A guide titled "Know Your Rights with ICE: What is a warrant?" posted by servicesnotsweepscoalition and created by WASHINGTON IMMIGRANT SOLIDARITY NETWORK. There are 9 images in English followed by the same 9 images in Spanish, which I will put in their own comment to the post:
Full transcript:
1 Know Your Rights with ICE: What is a warrant? A judicial warrant and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) warrant serve different purposes and carry distinct legal authority.
Understanding the difference is crucial, especially when it comes to protecting your rights during encounters with law enforcement or immigration authorities.
2 Remember If law enforcement, including ICE, knock on your door, do NOT open the door. First, ask them to slide a judicial warrant under the door. ICE and CBP have been known to use warrants that lure community members to surrender without due process.
3 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant A judicial warrant is an official court order signed by a judge or magistrate that authorizes a search of private property, seizure, or arrest based on probable cause that a crime is being committed or has been committed. A judicial warrant will:
• Specify the specific address to be searched • Specify the time period in which the search must take place
• Particularly describe the place or person, or both, to be searched and things to be seized
• Be issued by a court and signed by a Judge or magistrate
4 This is a judicial warrant. This DOES authorize agents to enter your house or search your car. Bellow is an image of a judicial warrant, arrows point to relevant sections highlighting that it is a COURT ORDER, that it has your NAME & ADDRESS and that it has a JUDGE SIGNATURE "JUDICIAL OFFICER"
5 Judicial warrant versus ICE warrant: ICE agents have been known to use an ICE administrative warrant to bait people into giving them access to their homes, cars and belongings. This document is issued by a federal agency, such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or ICE, claiming its authority to arrest a person suspected of violating immigration laws. These administrative documents are not signed by a neutral magistrate or judge but rather by an immigration officer like an ICE agent or immigration judge.
• An ICE administrative warrant is NOT a judicial warrant. ICE administrative warrants do not give ICE officials authority to enter a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, without consent.
• If this happens-state clearly that you do not consent to them entering but do not physically resist. If ICE officials have already entered, then ask them to leave and state that you do not consent to a search.
6 This is an ICE administrative warrant which DOES NOT authorize agents to enter your home.

Spanish edition (apologies for any errors, I don't speak the language):
1 Conoce tus derechos frente a la migra: ¿Qué es una orden judicial? Una orden judicial y una orden de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE por sus siglas en ingles) tienen propósitos diferentes y poseen distintas autoridades legales. Entender la diferencia es crucial, especialmente cuando se trata de proteger tus derechos durante encuentros con las autoridades policiales o de inmigración.
2 Recuerda Si las autoridades, incluyendo a ICE, tocan a tu puerta, NO abras la puerta. Primero, pídeles que pasen una orden judicial por debajo de la puerta. ICE y CBP han usado órdenes que engañan a los miembros de la comunidad para que se rindan sin el debido proceso.
3 Orden judicial versus orden de ICE Una orden judicial es una orden oficial emitida por un juez o magistrado que autoriza el registro de una propiedad privada, la confiscación de bienes o el arresto basado en causa probable de que se está cometiendo o se ha cometido un delito. Una orden judicial debe:
• Especificar la dirección exacta que se va a registrar.
• Indicar el período de tiempo en el cual debe llevarse a cabo el registro.
• Describir específicamente el lugar o persona a registrar, o ambos, así como los objetos a confiscar.
• Ser emitida por un tribunal y estar firmada por un juez o magistrado.
4 Esto es una orden judicial. Sí autoriza a los agentes a entrar a tu casa o tu automóvil. A continuación se muestra una imagen de una orden judicial, las flechas señalan las secciones relevantes resaltando que se trata de una ORDEN DE LA CORTE, que tenga su NOMBRE Y DOMICILIO CORRECTO y que tenga la FIRMA DEL JUEZ "JUDICIAL OFFICER"
5 Orden judicial versus orden de inmigración Los agentes de ICE a menudo utilizan órdenes administrativas para engañar a las personas y obtener acceso a sus hogares, automóviles y pertenencias. Este documento es emitido por una agencia federal, como el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) o ICE, y reclama autoridad para arrestar a una persona sospechosa de violar las leyes de inmigración.
Estas órdenes administrativas no son firmadas por un juez o magistrado neutral, sino por un oficial de inmigración, como un agente de ICE o un juez de inmigración.
Una orden administrativa de ICE NO autoriza a los oficiales de ICE a entrar en un lugar donde exista una expectativa razonable de privacidad, sin consentimiento.
• Si esto sucede: Declara claramente que no das tu consentimiento para que entren, pero no resistas físicamente. Si los oficiales de ICE ya han entrado, pídeles que se retiren y declara que no consientes un registro.
6 Esto es una orden administrativa de ICE, la cual NO autoriza a los agentes a entrar en tu casa. A continuación se muestra una imagen de una orden administrativa de ICE, las flechas apuntan a las secciones relevantes resaltando que UNA ORDEN DE LA MIGRA NO LE DA PERMISO AL OFICIAL ENTRAR A SU CASA...PERO y que está FIRMADA POR UN 'OFICIAL DE INS' Y NO POR UN JUEZ O MAGISTRADO.

- www.teenvogue.com How to Keep Tabs on ICE Agents Who May Be Surveilling Your Neighborhood
Here’s a step-by-step guide.
> > > After a volunteer confirmed an officer’s identity, they would alert neighbors to the agent’s presence, and our dispatch team would send a text message to our contacts in the area. ICE agents almost never carry judicial warrants giving them the authority to enter private homes or businesses without permission, so they often wait to make an arrest when the person they’re looking for leaves their home or car. And in every case we worked on, when the agents realized they were being watched, they abandoned their stakeout. > >

Memes aren't journalism
You're going to need to be vigilant about fact checking the information you come across. Meta (FB, Insta, WhatsApp), X/Twitter, TikTok are all fascist mouthpieces at this point, and you don't have to use those services directly yourself for the messages they amplify to reach you.
Don't just be suspicious of those messages you oppose. Be as suspicious of rage-bait, and messages you are already primed to agree with. This is how propaganda works: by taking advantage of what people already want to believe.
If you can't find decent sources about the thing you're seeking to verify, set that thing aside. If you can find one source, or the same story being repeated multiple places, be skeptical. Be aware that early reporting on events as they unfold can easily be wrong in ways that impact the accuracy of the reporting, even if the story is substantially true as a whole.
Information gaps - where one party has more, or more accurate, information than another party - are how power is leveraged. When you take steps to be factually accurate, in line with objective reality, you are shrinking the power of those who would like to control you.
- www.cbsnews.com ICE agents "raided" Newark business, detained multiple people, mayor says
Immigration agents "raided" a business in Newark on Thursday, according to the city's mayor.
> > > Newark Mayor Ras Baraka criticized ICE agents for "raiding" a local business without a warrant, detaining several individuals, including U.S. citizens, a military veteran, and undocumented immigrants. > >
When they come, they are not going to have warrants. They're just going to strongarm and intimidate their way in, and they're going to detain people without cause.
- Do you have a warrant? No? Go get one then.
- I decline to answer any questions.
- I do not consent to any search.
And I know this sounds real "sovcit," but they're right on this one:
- Am I being detained, or am I free to go? If you are free to go, go. If you are being detained, shut the fuck up.
