Hey Molls. Here are a couple of things I read recently, which you may find helpful. I don't think there's an easy playbook of "just do this," but a toolkit of principles:
wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t...
wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t...
10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won
The key to taking effective action if Trump wins is to avoid perpetuating his goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.

Just reupping this on my main page so I can make it my new pin. For everyone who is ready to move past grief & into the rightful anger that will power us to stand against the worst to come in meaningful ways:

So why are we fast tracking white supremacist immigration from South Africa and harassing & detaining a new British mom who was in the process of getting a green card?
ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa.

Some people can march to the beat of their own drummer, but most can't or won't.
So I don't see the question as being about 'easy' or 'hard' but about clear roads to valuable, affirming roles in society which do not require exceptional ability.

Hard for me to say how this is different from Fox News's entire business model, except that it's less sophisticated. This is transparently and obviously bad — and Elon should ban these accounts — but the spirit here of trading rage for money is pretty much a lot of right-wing media.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.
