  Also, realistically, what the hell can I do about it? I voted. I donate. I even write actual emails and not use form letters. I can’t influence DOGE. I don’t have enough money to bribe Trump or his cabinet. What the actual fuck is expected of an individual?

    I don’t know what should be done, but I’m pretty sure whatever it is will involve a Guy Fawkes mask and a green newsboy hat.

    Could also invest in protecting yourself, your family (if applicable) and get to know your community, neighbours and helpers that work in it.

    While none of the above will seem like much on a grand scale, at least it will help cover some of your personal bases when/if things go south.

    Organize/join an org. Talk to your neighbors/family/friends/coworkers. It’s slow going at first. You may not see results for years, but building a community that resists takes effort. I see people doubt the efficacy of protest/organizing all the time, or they are discouraged by lack of numbers in the streets because it doesn’t happen overnight, but we need to remember that these things are built over time. The best time was yesterday, the second best time is now. There are people across the US in all states organizing to resist. I’m in a very red state and each subsequent meeting we have nearly doubles in number of people.
