If you are upset about what's going on but aren't sure what to do: start by calling your reps. This app π makes it easy.
Standing up to authority is a muscle. If you haven't had to exercise it before, this is a great first step. I promise DOING one thing will make you feel better & more capable.

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. π
I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

Iβm in Iowa for the semester. Which is flying by. I head home mid-May! Iβm being my most authentic self & encouraging my students to do the same. Iowaβs legislature literally legislated hate this week & yet over 2500 protestors showed up on Thursday, some of my students, because showing up matters.

βDonβt Open the Doorβ: How Chicago Is Frustrating ICEβs Campaign of Fear
Months of know-your-rights work has Trumpβs border czar complaining.
People are understandably feeling scared as Trump unleashes his torrent of attacks on vulnerable populations. But some in the grassroots are fighting back, piece by piece. @rebeccaburns.bsky.social burns and I documented one such effort in Chicago disrupting Trumpβs mass deportation plans.
