I love it.

I might be missing it, so I’ll ask for explicit info. Does it have to do with the one guy who didn’t resign?

Missing one.

He said first letter of each paragraph, I have included them all.

The last line starts a new paragraph. The paragraph is only a single line, but it’s still another paragraph. I was confused at first too, but then realized it must include that as well if it’s to make any sense.

Which has been a kind of one-word slogan of anti-white supremacist forces since January. Bumper stickers, protest signs, and so on.

Not just anti-white supremacist forces, but anti-Trump forces in general.

It had definitely been used in social media before then.

And definitely before social media existed.

http://resist.org/history

Our story begins in 1967 when the “Call to Resist Illegitimate Authority” was issued to support draft resistance in opposition to the war in Vietnam. Signed by over 20,000 people, the Call mobilized activists and academics across the country and became a central document in the 1968 conspiracy trial of Reverend William Sloan Coffin, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Michael Ferber, Marcus Raskin, and Mitchell Goodman, who became known as the “Boston Five” and soon after became five of Resist’s founders. Other signers and founding members included Grace Paley, Noam Chomsky, Robert Lowell, Barbara Guest, and Allen Ginsberg.

During the course of the Vietnam War, as grassroots activism exploded across the country, Resist evolved too and supported radical visionary activists from coast to coast. Over time, Resist provided support to hundreds of groups, starting with resistance to the Vietnam War and quickly expanding to the civil rights movement and beyond. By the 1970s, Resist had broadened its scope dramatically by tying together the unequal distribution of power and money at home with a system of US domination abroad.

Throughout this history, Resist has provided critical early funding to some of the most influential progressive organizations in the US – many of which have gone on to make history themselves.
