    those people could easily be said to include you and me

    IDK about you, but it definitely includes me. Like you, I don’t really know what to do.

    I went to a protest. I talk about it online. Mostly it’s just watching it all burning, though. I feel like I need to be doing way more.

    There’s this:

      We may soon be past the point where protests will have much effect. But not yet - most of what I’m saying is more for the future, while for now protests are absolutely helping:-).

        I mean all kinds of things can have an effect. A lot of totalitarian regimes were overthrown starting from a way worse position than “Trump and Musk are in the White House and a lot of people are doing what they say.” But also, the US is sleeping right now, and a lot of what it takes is just a shitload of people to be on your side. Right now they are not.

        Of course that can change.
