Small Acts of Resistance [1]

I haven’t posted here since the recent disgraceful election due to a combination of shock, horror and resignation but the predominant emotion I am now experiencing is anger — and as the song goes “anger is an energy.” So thinking about ways to express my feelings and thoughts toward the current administration I have come up with the following short list of ways to promote the resistance — from the conventional to off the wall. Please feel free to add your own suggestions and carry through with them!
1. Make a small donation to a left-leaning candidate or organization. My favorite organization to donate to is Moveon.org but there are dozens of others.
2. Write a letter to a newspaper. Most media organizations nowadays have the capacity whereby readers can leave online comments. Short and succinct is the key to being read online!
3. Participate in a march/protest/town hall. Not something you can do everyday but if the opportunity arises…
4. Make snide comments that can be overheard by others when grocery shopping. For example, “welcome to Trumpanomics,” “thank you President Trump” or, “these prices — I really feel like America is great again.”
5. Call your rep or senator. These can be serious comments about a specific policy or, if you live in a red state like I do, trolling — “Trump is wrong about everything.”
6. Buy blue merch. I have read that Gavin Newsom is offering a variety of anti-Trump items on his website!
7. Join X or Truth Social and leave critical or trolling comments: DUMP CHUMP TRUMP!
8. Apply to govt agencies (ICE is hiring!) with fake names and/or addresses such as Ronald McDonald, 13 Hamburglar Lane, McDonaldland USA
Other thoughts? Comments welcome!
