A grassroots group of citizens around Oak Ridge, TN tired of the growing authoritarianism of our government intended to be By The People and For The People. We stand for Freedom, Democracy, and Truth. We think the Constitution is what makes America great 🇺🇲

The best grassroots movements are the ones started by the people who just show up. We couldn't just continue calling ourselves that group of us who have been showing up to protest on the sidewalk in Oak Ridge (too many words, too vague) so, introducing: the Southern Resistance Coalition.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Trump’s Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday that the 20 U.S. Army soldiers awarded the Medal of Honor, for their participation in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre, may keep them.

This is nothing more than a disgraceful celebration of the Native American Genocide.

Hey, maybe the other shirt I showed y'all the other day isn't your speed because maybe you don't want a picture of 47 on your clothing, or it feels too mean spirited... We've still got you! Check this one out!! And go get you one to wear for #NoKings2 on October 18th! 🤔👀🇺🇲

Back of a t-shirt from Southern Resistance Coalition that reads "No Tyrants, No Fascists, No Kings" down in a stack of words, with southernresistancecoalition.org below the message.

Fascists never like realizing they're fascist...

Rachel finally decided to look up what 'fascist' meant and she did not like what she learned.

I should put a Mexico flag bumper sticker on my car and drive around cities on the weekends. Make them waste time pulling over the woman as white as wonder bread

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence...

Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

Thank you!! SRC is just a group of people who started showing up on the sidewalk in our area, but we've now got an email list of about 450 we send info to every week. The work happens local. Ntnl groups know that. One of our founders published this tho, it's pretty awesome: bsky.app/profile/lena...

My first zine is a real zine now! I’m going to try hand stitching the binding tonight, just for the fun of it. Unless I get sidetracked sketching dragons, as sometimes happens…

I understand many peoples' feelings of helplessness and despair. Those are natural reactions. Remember, you have the power to resist. To never obey in advance. Kindness, empathy and humor are powerful tools against oppression. It's dark time, but they haven't won. We can prevail.

He very much wants to burn everything to the ground so he can rule over the ashes.

Southern Resistance Coalition @tyedyehippy.bsky.social · 25d

Absolutely!!! Hope lives in the conversations and relationships we build with our neighbors. And when in doubt, just start showing up on the sidewalk in your town and eventually you come up with a name like Southern Resistance Coalition and you continue to organize within your community!

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.
