All of us need to think of ourselves and behave as insurgents. They can control any one of us, but they absolutely cannot control all of us, especially if as many of us as possible interrupt their streams of info and surveillance.
TL;DR:
Don't be seen, or if seen, don't be remembered.
Encrypt everything, esp lines of communication.
Do not give the enemy information.
Be smart & protect yourself, & your friends.
You are a team, or several teams, so act like it.
Keep them reacting to you.

Cuídense unos a otros. No solo en teoría, sino en la práctica. El tipo de cuidado que les da energía y alegría, no miedo. Si se sienten agotados, son uno más entre miles de millones. Escúchense, establezcan límites, hablen y descansen. Ámennos y enfurézcanse por nosotros, no nos derriben.

Mutual aid isn’t easy. We have to learn new skills—how to make decisions together, get through disagreements, build relationships with people who aren’t like us, give and receive feedback, take risks with others, and become trusting and trustworthy in ways we were never encouraged to be.

On 1/22/2018, we lost Ursula K. Le Guin. She was more than a storyteller—she was a radical thinker who used her craft to critique capitalism, patriarchy, and colonialism, imagining alternative futures grounded in community, equality, and ecological harmony.
