I'm so tired of my spouse, my family, my friends responding, "but what can one person do?" when I say I'm sick to my stomach about where we are, and we have to get out and be seen.

I don't KNOW. I'm not an outside person, either. But I know I can't just sit here and watch them burn our entire nation down inside of a month and not be seen. Not to do anything at all.

Not a joiner, I see no groups organizing. I don't know. But this week I have to do something.

Write letters, make phone calls to your representatives. Bonus points if you make multiple calls; ONE issue per call. They typically pick one thing to count a call for or against. Example; UsAid- H.I.V. impact. 2nd call USAID negative impact on US farmers who rely on government purchases of products sent overseas. 3rd call this thing called soft power. 4th call Prez should not be letting unelected tech bros controlling/shutting down our supports . They should NOT have access to our private info. I am SO ANGRY about that. Could elon be criminalized in individual states if that is possible to bypass trumps power of federal forgiveness.

@Derring Do , does that help? Genuinely pushing myself to make at least 2 calls a day.

Be careful with that. IF trump (or his minions) declares the public action illegal, you could be arrested. @Hopium talks about this.

We can write letters, make phone calls to our reps objecting to trump, objecting to musk in our government . Especially if your reps are republican.
