  • Do you need me to hand-hold you all the way to a protest? Okay, here’s how it works:

    1. Find a local protest organization in your area. If you have trouble doing that, check out https://indivisible.org/ which lists events from local groups around the country.
    2. Find an event that sounds like something you might want to attend.
    3. Make a sign. Go to the event. Protest.

    Don’t like that idea? Fine. Then find a way to resist that better suits you. But whining on the internet that “there’s nothing that can be done, we are fucked” doesn’t accomplish anything. Part of the goal of this administration is to create an air of inevitability around their gathering power so that people obey in advance. It makes it a whole lot easier for them to be fascists if they don’t have to fight for every scrap of fascism along the way. Don’t let them do that. Don’t obey in advance.



  • No single thing is going to fix this. It’s going to take a concerted effort of protests and economic boycotts and judges doing their job and elected officials doing their job and the fucking media doing their job and public sentiment souring further on Trump and people refusing to follow unlawful orders and yes maybe even a little direct action. Not all of it is going to work and not all of it has to work. My only point here is we can’t just think there’s a single silver bullet (pun intended) because that breeds inaction for all other forms of resistance. We each need to find a way to resist and do that instead of waiting for somebody who isn’t coming to save the day.
