@flyhigh if they expect you to stand up, sit down; if they expect you to sit down, stand up.

The interplay of different strategies is what grows effective movements.

Violence alone doesn't work. Nonviolence alone doesn't work.

#DiversityOfTactics does work.

@MaryAustinBooks I just wish she could have made the point without labeling the heroic resistance in #LA as #COINTELPRO. It's time to start taking #DiversityOfTactics seriously. Peaceful mass protests are critically important — but so is confrontational resistance to tyranny.
