I keep asking. What can I do.

I'd love to hear everyone's answer to that question. We need to brainstorm. So far the todo's I know of are: hound your elected representatives with every known means of communication, donate to the right causes if you can, communicate with everyone you know, go to town halls and speak up, use any special skills you have and be creative about it, work any levers of power you may have access to, and take to the streets with noise, signs and chalk. I'll add to that, have fun doing it because it can be tedious and stressful. Music, art and street performers can add a lot to a demonstration.

I just commented in a similar vein (see above). Upon rereading, my comment seems like a whimpy plea for help from elesewhere. BUT

we re the cavalry of resistance, so we need to figure out courses of peaceful action and do it.

Obliviator's course of action is / was "move fast, break stuff and then fix whats of value". Resistance and protests is how we turn the tide. 1968's March on Washington was impactful.

Yes! Protests stopped an idiotic war and got rid of 2 presidents. Let's hope this time we can stop the madness without having to lose 50,000 lives as we did it Vietnam.

Yep. :) <3 The only reasonable way to redeem yourselves is to get creative and get together again, bc thats what we ALL need to do now! Every 60 years the oligarchs seem to get you together by giving you a common enemy. ;p ;)

And educate yourself and discuss in real life (call meetings! :D ) plus in reddit and Quora, they have GOOD systems that bubbles UP the best stuff, like is was supposed to! If fb and X copied that years ago we woundnt be in this mess now.
