Yeah, look, the Regime Update is that Red States are deploying their National Guard to their Blue Cities to "control crime" or whatever. The Guard in DC are now carrying both long guns and side arms while they ... clean the parks once cleaned by federally employed park service. Fash regimes all wind up trapped by their own sadistic drive to power. Neither the regime nor its members are redeemable. They've just been slowed from deporting 600 unaccompanied children to Guatemala. The depravity is galactic. When they do fall, they won't have access to wealth, power, protection like they do now. They're *trapped*. The Regime, their cronies, and hangers-on, all of MAGA really. Like all Fash, they know if they don't stay in power they are fucked. So they will get worse, and then worse again. Too many crimes/HRVs have already been committed. They're hoping to kick off a war, not have an election, and then win forever. This cannot happen. > **We must all, liberals, Dems, progressives, & FEMINISTS** > **\-- Be More Ukraine --** > **We need to get very, very inventive, scrappy, improvisational** > **#AllContraFash** ## **Models, Guides, Inspirations, Action Groups: Spoiler, It's Women Who Lead and Ground Resistance** Below, examples of contemporary and historical women's resistance and women in resistance movements.
