Not all acts of resistance have to be overtly political. Last weekend, I cooked a tri-tip on my smoker. I did some backyard gardening with my family. While we remain aware of the distressing political environment, we decided not to let our fear and anxiety take over our lives.
The administration likes to "flood the zone" with misinformation and propaganda. Making time to connect with the people you care about and engaging in tasks that provide structure, peace, and comfort are important ways to disconnect from that toxic deluge. Exercising your personal sovereignty and refusing to let the authoritarians dominate your thoughts is a deliberate act of resistance.
Plant a stubborn garden. Take a defiant walk. Share a meaningful meal with your family. Share a rebellious song with a friend. Make it personal, and make it meaningful.
Liking, sharing, or commenting on this post IS an act of resistance. Corridor Rabbit is meant to serve as a casual guide for how to start and grow an informal resistance group. It is not authoritative; it is a live journal documenting our efforts. It is a call to action. It's an invitation to connect and share what you are doing to resist authoritarianism.

I am sipping my defiant espresso as I read and enjoy Corridor Rabbit. Keep punching...
