Sinclair Lewis said “When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
It’s hard to feel like me as a singular person can do much is this ocean of horrifying things. I even find my kindness and empathy wearing thin - all in the name of “they voted for this crap and now I will be dragged along”.
I remind myself to be kind, stand up for what is right, and do what I can. Which mostly involves contacting my congress people and representatives to also do the right thing for the people.
Little acts of protest is where to start. If you can impede, slow, or sabotage anything safely, do it. Happy to share ideas in a more secure environment but a few are taking the maximum allowable time on things, flooding emails with questions and always following up with more to tie up headspace and resources.
Little, safe, things. A leak in a dam, with enough pressure and time bursts.

Every day is terrifying. Stay safe.
