There's a bunch of resistance actions going on that we might not hear about. Without that info, it's more likely to feel overwhelmed. Maybe collect the news?

..

Everyone can do something. Even if it is as simple as passing the word along to others who can use it, sharing news with a worried neighbor, or maybe supporting a resistant organizations with a few bucks.

I've been up late and early, clicking around on BlueSky. First today, encouraging words:

x Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰ β€” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@aoc.bsky.social) January 29, 2025 at 9:35 PM

Help line for military:

Lawsuit:

x Several groups associated with the Quakers are suing the Trump Admin alleging that ICE raids now authorized to hunt for migrants in churches is a violation of their First Amendment right to free exercise of religion. meidasnews.com/news/quaker-...

Saving the evidence:

I don't have any evidence that this is actually true, but in a just world, it ought to be!

x β€œSo ICE set up a hotline where people can call to report undocumented immigrants. But they had to shut it down yesterday because over 90% of the calls were reporting Elon Musk.

If you never hear from me again it's because I laughed myself to death.” - Mindy Fischer, Writer πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ β€” LyndaGood (@lyndagood.bsky.social) January 29, 2025 at 9:35 PM

And a commenter adds:

x Frankly.,they could have also made dozens of calls outing the undocumenteds who work at all of Trumps golf clubs . They are there working at this time ,and have been for years. β€” Irsjimmy (@irsjimmy109.bsky.social) January 30, 2025 at 12:14 AM

Sure looks like successful resistance to me:

x NEW: Trump just rescinded the federal freeze order. This is a reminder that resistance matters. The going got tough and Trump just folded like a cheap suit.

Michigan does the right thing:

x Resistance includes passing laws to protect targeted groups against hate crimes. "The changes were signed into law on Wednesday (January 22) by Governor Gretchen Whitmer and will take effect on April 2." #resistance #women #LGBTQ #trans /more www.thepinknews.com/2025/01/26/g...

Sorry about the picture: it won't happen again:

x Resistance takes many forms. One: speaking up and lawyering up. Per this report, Turnip just illegally "fired" two women at the National Labor Relations Board: its general counsel, and its first Black woman member, Gwynne Wilcox. #resistance #women #labor /more www.rawstory.com/trump-court-...
