Day 138-141: Wrote my senators re: cuts to SNAP/CalFresh, called @padilla.senate.gov to urge him to stop the state AI regulation ban in HR1 (@schiff.senate.gov voicemail was full), donated to the @immdef.bsky.social Detained Immigrant Bond Fund, and briefly stopped by rally in SF to stop ICE

Day 135: Going to start donating my #bitcoin earnings, starting with a donation to @unrwa.org

In hindsight I really should have donated crypto directly to charity instead of cashing it all out… I’ll have to be smarter next time

Day 127: Wrote to my senators telling them to vote NO on the budget bill aka the "One Big Beautiful Bill" - I feel like I've already contacted them several times about this horrendous bill, but this time I decided to highlight the provisions that attack the power of the judicial branch

Day 121: Donated to Laud Alauda NGO which is providing direct cash to the most vulnerable Gazan families. Truly mind numbing that we as human beings can let things get to a point where we’re seeing posts that say “14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours”

Day 112: Added my name to stand with ActBlue against Trump’s assault (although I also don’t love getting their spammy fundraising texts)… also started reading “On Palestine” today #resist

Day 110: Listened to this podcast; learned that local organizing is important (you can have outsized power in your community if you are simply organized and show up). Also, successful movements to defeat autocracy build broad coalitions often united solely by opposition to what’s currently happening

I’ve been seeing lots of posts about what Trump has done in his first 100 days. So, on this 101th day, to avoid giving up and to keep myself accountable, I’m going to start documenting what I’m doing each day to #resist this autocratic regime, starting with a donation to Democracy Forward.
