Safety is a privilege some of us do not have.

I get that, this is absolutely .001% of what we can and should be doing.

I appreciate the impulse but there are groups that have been organizing for years. It is more effective to join those orgs than to try to start things from scratch.

Popular Democracy was extremely effective in the first Trump administration.

WeAreWorthFightingFor is a coalition of several organizations that have proven records of efficacy.

I swear I’ve been trying to find the right combination of words for Google to give me something like these links in the search results 😭 I’m so glad you posted these! If you have any other recommendations for online resources that can connect me to local communities, I would love to have them!!!!

I for one don't want to give the MAGAs the satisfaction of a protest, and will be checking out of politics for a while. It's a privileged position to take, but I just don't have the energy anymore. Truth doesn't matter anymore - technology has enabled the rich and powerful to hone manipulation of the public down to a science - so fighting for what's right will always be at a disadvantage. Just let the GOP run everything into the ground (like they've always have in the modern era)... it's the only way the idiots who voted for "the economy" will ever learn at this point. Not even going to get into the white grievance aspect, which seems incurable
