gwydionI know people are disparaging. Please remember that there are things we can do. Those who are able can protest. Check to see if there is a concentration camp near you. Check for local protests.
It’s congressional recess. If you can go in person, now is a great time to show up at town halls, photo ops, and your congress critter’s State offices if you can.
The louder we are, the angrier we are, the more likely it is that someone will hear us.
If Mitch McConnell is your senator, tell him what you think, because he’s personally preventing Congress from doing anything to fight back against these policies.
If you can not protest in person, here are some other options for getting your Congress critters’ attentions:
Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the representative of your choice.

Remember also that we need to get the bastards in charge of this out of office if we want real long term change. You can volunteer for your state or local Democratic Party. You can volunteer or donate to a candidate you like. You can encourage people to register to vote. You can run for office if you have that kind of energy.

I know we all are exhausted. I know we are all horrified and grieving. Please, please don’t give up. Do what you need to for your sanity. Take breaks when you need to, but don’t give up. That’s what they are counting on. They are gambling that if they are relentlessly cruel and horrible and destructive for long enough we will give up and let them win.
We can’t let them win. Keep resisting. Keep protesting. Vote.
