Resistance isn’t only huge actions. Resistance can be:
-Supporting libraries
-Serving at a soup kitchen
-Sending a few bucks to mutual aid
-Donating new/gently used items
-Checking in on neighbors
-Offering your services pro-bono
-Volunteering
-Neighborhood cleanups
Helping each other is powerful

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Opportunities are everywhere.
