Hey Molls. Here are a couple of things I read recently, which you may find helpful. I don't think there's an easy playbook of "just do this," but a toolkit of principles:
wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t...
wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t...
10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won
The key to taking effective action if Trump wins is to avoid perpetuating his goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.
wagingnonviolence.org
Just reupping this on my main page so I can make it my new pin. For everyone who is ready to move past grief & into the rightful anger that will power us to stand against the worst to come in meaningful ways:

We really need to spread the word. Chicago did a great job with the whistle warnings and cameras up campaign. The citizen videos were used in court. Form a crowd stay loud! Know your rights!
Hopefully they take some lessons from the resistance in Chicago. Whistles and filming everything is important.

Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights
The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

I’ve honestly been struggling with WHY anyone still listens to this guy & cares about his opinions on economics when he’s clearly been wrong about everything for 15+ years. He’s a bad economist AND terrible person. Please hold him accountable for both.
Agree. Summers engaging in friendly gossipy 100% sexist emails with underage-girls-sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, long *after* Epstein had been indicted, shows remarkably poor judgement and hubris. Professional economists should openly question people and institutions that honor Summers.

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
