What can I do?
Here’s a To Do list of action items.
The list came from all over. Add, fix, share, run with it.
THE CHAOS AND BLITZ ARE THE STRATEGIES to paralyze and intimidate us.
Don’t let distractions distract us.
Fight now. Stop them. Trials later. -keep reading
And quit reacting and making analytical lists of every travesty. Time to act.
Molly Jong Fast said we can’t legislate our way out of this. She is right.

This is the piece that spells out a plan that sounds pretty good to me.
Here is the plan to fight back
We are staring into the abyss.

When your opponent is in the mud, fighting dirty, you’ve got to jump in there and win.

Bravo, Mark Kelly.

Pretty sure if Russia wanted Greenland, we’d know it.
January 12, 2026 at 8:29 PM
The best list is the one you actually use.
Increasingly severe natural disasters made me rethink my relationship with physical things and stuff.
Do we keep things or do they keep us?
January 12, 2026 at 8:22 PM
We have a Constitution. It’s hidden under the shiny gold stuff they’ve epoxied on every surface.

Note their chaotic, muddy waters. We’re for the Iranian people? We hate anti-semitism? We love women (like Jeffrey)? We hate drugs?
Squid ink.

People.
Wake up.
January 12, 2026 at 5:31 PM
About time someone called out Vance for his fake hillbilly act.
Fox people have NO game. They’re like “uh, time for a word from our sponsors, Moonshine From The Holler.”
January 12, 2026 at 5:30 PM
The timer on benefit of the doubt is about to run out….
January 12, 2026 at 5:20 PM
Remember this chaos was planned and it’s well orchestrated to cause fear.
Find your local government’s plan/ response to ICE. If they don’t have one, wake them up.
This is not Russia.
January 12, 2026 at 5:11 PM
To fight despair today, my to-do list is local.
What is my city’s position on ICE raids?
What resources for us citizens are out there?
What can I do in my own backyard, today, to educate myself about where things stand in my backyard?
Whistles seem… like a sad joke.
January 12, 2026 at 5:01 PM
Yes. But that’s regime inflicted, not due to true market forces.
People in Russia were afraid to mourn Navalny.
January 12, 2026 at 4:34 PM
Aka the Russian vodka industry.

November is a lonnng way off. Every day for one tiny second, I can forget this ongoing train wreck - then I gain consciousness and remember we live in the State of F*ck now.

He did NOT win by a landslide. That’s why he’s panicked.
January 12, 2026 at 4:22 PM
Well yeah but.
January 12, 2026 at 4:17 PM
History.
January 12, 2026 at 3:39 PM
November seems like it’s a loooonnng way off.
January 12, 2026 at 3:38 PM
Russia has always been ruled.
They have very little experience with democracy. People were afraid to mourn Navalny.
It’s messy and has never been perfect, but we invented democracy in the US.
January 12, 2026 at 6:28 AM
No way!!! Pretty sure the main stream of media thought a sharpie marker was forever and ever. Law, edict, pronouncement, whatever. Petulant boy king waves his golden scepter and says “it is to be.” And the republicans believe him.
January 12, 2026 at 5:16 AM
Lisa Murkowski is a big no. They already paid her off.
January 12, 2026 at 5:12 AM
This isn’t Russia.
Russians have always been ruled.

We invented democracy in the US. It was messy, bloody, and hard. We need to wake up and take our country back asap.
January 12, 2026 at 5:11 AM
November is a loooongg way off.
January 12, 2026 at 5:09 AM
They increase the activities on he weekends. It’s Sunday f-ing night!

All part of the tactics.

This isn’t Russia, people.
Russians have always been ruled. They have no history of democracy.

We the people invented democracy and it wasn’t easy. We need to wake up.
January 12, 2026 at 4:44 AM
Hope it’s not too little, too late, dude.

Glad you saw fit to draw the line somewhere.
January 12, 2026 at 4:38 AM
And stayed until the very last encore.
Still clapping. Thanks, guys.

Long strange trip, indeed.
