The truth is, it's easy for you and I to feel like there's not much we can do, and that makes it easy to feel hopeless. But there is ALWAYS something we can do--yes, you and I, we the people who are not lawyers or politicians--and that's what this account is here to help you find.
An uplifting and educational watch, as so many of @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's videos are. How we got here and what we could be looking at on the other side.

Where to go instead? Ace Hardware, they are individually owned and operated. Get gifts from local businesses/artists; the smaller the biz, the more impact your support has! Feeling petty? Put gifts in your Target/Amazon cart & then buy them elsewhere--abandoned carts shows you are a sale they lost.
It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Call your congressperson. Seriously, now is the time to crank up the pressure. Start using the word Impeachment again.
The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.
Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
It's the very least they should be doing!

Native women work nearly 11 extra months just to earn what white men made last year. That's not equal. On #NativeWomensEqualPayDay, we're reminded why action matters. House Dems are fighting for fair pay and safe working conditions for all workers.
