In case anyone forgot, the government is not a business. It is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FOR PROFIT. It is supposed to serve its people. Once it begins to put profits over its people, it is time for immediate change.

Do not fall for the propaganda that is before us. Trust that your neighbor is good. This is not a left and right issue, this is an issue of the people and our will to make this a good, safe place to live for us and future generations. I am here if anyone needs me! Love to you all.

Sixth, join local mutual aid efforts and volunteer. Mutual aid builds community and is most effective in redistributing resources to those who need it most. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your communities too, and trust that I would share the skills or resources I have if you need it.

Fifth, don’t believe every video and picture you see, especially when they do not come from a reputable source. Even if the source seems reputable to you, find other news sources from all political leanings to verify information. AI is very good and can easily trick us if we are not speculative.

Fourth, turn off location services, targeted ads, and cookies when possible. The less data Meta and other companies can take from us to sell to third parties, the better.

Third, register to vote and make sure you are voting in ALL local elections. We feel the effect of local issues more than federal, so make it a point to show up for the people who will prioritize your well-being at the local level.

Yes, Walmart is a massive employer of local workers, but they are also one of the largest working groups of people who receive food stamps. These workers then spend their SNAP benefits at Walmart, allowing Walmart to double dip into the benefits for them of low pay and subsidies from the fed gov.

Second, avoid Walmart and all other corporate grocery stores when possible. There are local stores that may be more expensive, but consider keeping your money in your community rather than letting it go to some of the largest companies in the world. Shop and eat at local businesses in general.

First, I have canceled my Amazon Prime membership. I encourage you all to do the same and ask you to encourage others, as well. The more we make their wallets feel it, the more power we have.

Friends, I know this is a hard time to consider action already, but there are small things we can do that add up with solidarity. If I am missing any points, please let me know! This is my own list that I have created.
