    Thanks for the links, I’ll watch them - scanning I see it’s about infrastructure and congressional process. My existing understanding of direct non-violent action are things like blocking highways, which yes, I agree with.

      Direct action is one kind of non-violent resistance. But there are others. Resistance is about making abusive authority have to pay a price for every thing they do. It’s about throwing sand in its gears, making everything be a bit more shitty, and a bit more difficult. Direct-action is obviously a tactic, but so is things like causing delays, raising financial costs, denying organizing space, deplatforming, etc etc etc. Weaponize pettiness :)
