What you can do Ten ways to resist Trump II

In light of Trump II’s predictably cruel and bonkers beginning, many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-c...

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.

Since Monday, Trump has:

-Halted civil rights investigations
-Suspended public health advisories
-Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges
-Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors

How does this help working people?

Matt Gaetz didn’t have sex with a minor.

A little piece of knowledge that touched me years ago when I first heard about it: In Japan, people who arrive early to work park further away from the entrance so that those who arrive later can arrive on time.

Our world needs more of this lived compassion. Much, much more.

In 1988, the federal government banned metal-tipped lawn darts because a single child died from one.

We live in a country where the incoming president is an unrepentant convicted felon serial sexual abuser who’s stacking his cabinet with sex traffickers, rapists & pedophiles, but at least we’re protecting our kids from all those books in which the main character has two mommies.
