I really liked the point Robert Reich made in #10. If you could only read one thing from the article please read this:

Keep the faith. Do not give up on America. Remember, Trump won the popular vote by only 1.5 points. By any historical measure, this was a squeaker. In the House, the Republicans’ five-seat lead is the smallest since the Great Depression. In the Senate, Republicans lost half of 2024’s competitive Senate races, including in four states Trump won.

America has deep problems, to be sure. Which is why we can’t give up on it—or give up the fights for social justice, equal political rights, equal opportunity, and the rule of law. The forces of Trumpian repression and neofascism would like nothing better than for us to give up. Then they’d win it all. We cannot allow them to.

We will never give up.

And then I think the next most important thing is doing what you can to remove the pillars of support from Trump. He mentions boycotting Twitter and Tesla and other companies that support Trump like Fox News and boycotting advertisers. It's a really great idea to try!

Never link to twitter, modify your links to use xcancel.com if you absolutely must refer to content, it gives them less traffic and avoids their login.
