Excellent long read connecting the French resistance in WWII with resistance to ICE in the United States right now. “The French Resistance offers not a ready-made analogy but a way of thinking. The Resistance failed repeatedly. Networks were infiltrated. Leaders were arrested. Entire groups disappeared. But, sometimes, it worked.

It worked when people defended truth against systematic lies, when networks grew out of existing relationships and when the calculus of survival led to a division of labor. It worked when danger was perceived early, when visibility was used strategically — and when resistance made itself known to the outside world.”
