#DoOneThing today $: donate to the National Association of Black Storytellers nabsgriots.org time: leave public comments on two anti-trans rules BY FEB17 https://simpleresistance.us/public-comment/ prep: if you support a general strike, work on economic resilience now. For widespread, sustained participation, we have to be able to collectively survive the economic losses, too. The less help you need (or the more you can give) the stronger we are. #ThreeThings you can do

#DoOneThing

$: buy yourself a resistance reward

time: build in-person relationships with like-minded folks. If you don't have any, find some!

prep: if you get a big tax refund this year, it means you loaned Trump interest-free money. Adjust 2026 withholding.

#DoOneThing today $: splurge on a tiny trove of treats to reward your resistance. It's not just kids and dogs who respond to reinforcement! time: If you haven't seen your like-minded friends recently (in the real world), schedule time with them. If you aren't sure you have any, invite someone you suspect agrees to coffee and feel it out. The more isolated you are, the more critical it is to have a few local friends you can meet in person, so go build relationships! prep: if you're expecting a big tax refund this year, it means you loaned the Trump regime interest-free money for months. Adjust your W2 withholding so you get the smallest possible refund (or owe just a little—keep it under $1k if possible.) #ThreeThings to choose from Visit simpleresistance.us for details

prep: gardeners: donate surplus seeds and starts, or plant extra for community food resilience

#ThreeThings
#DoOneThing today $: show real love by centering your beloved's priorities.

Do three things this weekend: political action, community support, and something visible! prep: Gardeners planning spring plantings: grow gift starts, donate seeds, or plant extra to give away.

They started as abortion access, and have expanded to include gender-affirmation appointments. time: fight dehumanization. Fascists use it to encroach, so actively dismantle areas where you think it's harmless. Stand up for transgender people's dignity, shame Trump for who he is, not what he weighs, and educate yourself about racial stereotypes rooted in bigotry, like the persistent idea that Black people have less sensitive skin. prep: sign up for EFF's zoom training on Flock cameras, Feb19th, 12pm PST.

#DoOneThing

$: find better thrift stores

time: Call congress: the SAVE/MEGA act amounts to a poll tax, and NO funding for DHS without the full list of demands!

prep: check your public library for Black History Month events and reading lists. Public libraries rock!

#ThreeThings to choose from
#DoOneThing frequently $: find better thrift and resale stores to donate or shop at time: call Congress and tell them the SAVE/MEGA act is an illegal poll tax on anyone who ever changed their name. While you're calling remind them not to give up ANY ground on DHS funding: most of the ICE restrictions amount to following the constitution! prep: check your local library event calendar for Black History Month events. Events are free to all! Ask a librarian if they have a list of recommended readings, too. If you don't have a card, get one! Libraries are an amazing resource! #ThreeThings to choose from

#ThreeThings to choose from
#DoOneThing every day (small is fine!) $: support one (new/small) Black artist with a paid subscription or purchase. time: look up your state-level representation and store those numbers in your phone. The laws states pass frame our fight with the regime, so get in the habit of calling. prep: check your voter registration. The GOP is panicking about the midterms and doubling down on efforts to disenfranchise us. If it didn't matter they'd beg you to do it. #ThreeThings to choose from

$: quit ChatGPT, Trump's biggest donor and ICE operations tool quitgpt.org

time: go to a museum, arboretum, aquarium...

prep: get certified copies of birth certificate & name-change related documents or a passport. SAVE and MEGA are back. (trans folks: get legal advice.)

#ThreeThings
#DoOneThing every day $: if you use ChatGPT, and especially if you subscribe, you need to know they went from "AI for the people" to Trump's biggest donor and a key component of ICE operations. Quit ChatGPT (and Grok, but you knew that, right?) If you must use GenAI, use an open source engine. QuitGPT.org has more information. time: go to a museum, park, aquarium, or other local attraction. Rebuild your resilience, partake in some beauty, and remind yourself of the world we're fighting to preserve. prep: get certified copies of your birth certificate, name changes, and marriage certificates or apply for a passport. (If you are gender non-conforming, consult a legal expert first.) The SAVE and MEGA acts are designed to limit voting access, and these documents take time to obtain. Be ready, just in case. #ThreeThings to choose from
