While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.
Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

A healthy book ecosystem relies on professional book reviewers, not just authors reviewing their peers, although this is good and interesting too. We need both. But the professional reviewer is a keystone species in the ecosystem. We can't lose them.

Ilhan Omar is one of the smartest, strongest, most courageous humans alive. Love her.
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Minneapolis, your bravery and collective generosity makes me well up every day. You’re giving the rest of us so much hope and courage. I’m so sorry the evil administration is targeting you. We stand with you. Stay strong.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Even children, who cannot vote and have little money, have the power to do most of these things. So no more pleas of helplessness. No more crying that it wasn’t your fault, you didn’t vote for him. It doesn’t matter. You’re involved. Act now with whatever you have, time or money or passion.

—build systems outside of capitalism. Support local farmers. Grow your own food and trade with neighbors. Build community spaces and have events to strengthen bonds. Make meet ups for community or neighborhood support groups preemptively. Host education campaigns. Host letter-writing campaigns.

—when there’s a protest, go. Shout. It’ll show others that they’re not alone. It’s good for the soul.
—There’s a strike on Friday. Participate in solidarity. Take a sick day and buy nothing.
—Take out billboards. Put up signs. Write ICE on stop signs so they say STOP ICE. Replace if removed.

—use your finances. Find and fund mutual aid groups and food banks. Don’t give money to ANYTHING owned by a billionaire, from Amazon to mainstream newspapers. Don’t support any company that supports Republicans. Boycott. Buy local.

—make your voice loud. 5calls.org will give you a script and your reps’ numbers. Call relentlessly, multiple times a day. And if you see them out? Harangue them. They work for you. You are their boss.

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Ideas:
—talk to your family to make sure everyone knows what’s happening. People live in media black holes in this country. You’d be shocked to know how little many people know.
—talk to neighbors, your bartender, the bagger at the grocery store, the gym manager, the postman, etc. because ditto.

Hollywood drugged us into the a mass delusion that some hero is going to save us. There is no hero. It’s a million small real actions by hundreds of millions of people that will pull us out eventually. The people always win. Find something real and tangible to do, and do it now. And now. And now.

I’m a citizen of the US and though I have never in my life voted for a Republican, though I have worked in every way I could to support justice and democracy, I’m complicit because this is my country. They act in my name even without my consent. It’s up me and people like me to stop it.

It’s ok to take a little time for yourself to break down. There’s real deep grief and justified rage here. But pessimism leads to helplessness, and nobody needs your statements of doom. We already know. I’m fighting with everything I have now so that my kids have to fight less.

Sane people in the US are terrified and gutted. It will take generations to dig out of the hole a few genuinely evil people have dig for us. But please don’t retreat. Now is the time to find a way to act, to make the lives of our elected representatives harder, to work, to build communities.

every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove.

At the end of this, I want to see a federal government made up of socialist nurses, elementary school teachers, mothers, and librarians. Get rid of every single Republican, every Democrat who sat on their thumbs and let this happen. The US better be to the left of Sweden when this is all over.
