"There followed a sudden crash of bicycles as total strangers rode into the path of the pursuing German, knocking him off his bicycle and allowing Leesha to escape."

"'Like a flash I got an idea and began to whistle the first four notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in C minor.

This was a whistle we used in the underground: if there was a friend nearby he would answer with the second part of the phrase: "bum bum bum bum"

the persistence of the resisters in their belief in the righteousness of their cause led them to rebuild the structures each time and continue to develop the membership to renew the fight against occupation so that the flames of resistance could never be extinguished."

"One of the most admirable features of the resistance in all its forms- armed, civilian, and passive- rests in the sheer resilience of those who took part.

The resisters were determined to thwart the designs of the Germans, to harass them, to deny them the opportunity to ever exert total control..

"Indeed, the most prevalent feeling among those who resisted was the discovery of the sheer variety of people who worked together during the war yet who in peacetime would have had no reason to be in contact with each other."

"Relatively few lived a continuous underground existence and the majority participated in normal life while taking part in resistance activities on occasion as and when needed.

'We were really a multinational thing.'"

I saw these amazing 3D printed whistles.

There's another video from the perspective of someone in that home, they never showed the warrant. It's horrific.

I ask my fellow Americans- parents, grandparents, teachers, neighbors, etc, are our children still laughing freely?

Our children are seeing this all.

What are we teaching them?

How long will we tolerate this until our children stop laughing at all?

@sillychillly.bsky.social made these. I think most people want and agree on the same things, to live a good life.
