We sit around and bitch about the corporations caving to the alt-Reich, about Congress people just giving in to Trump, about ICE not having a conscience to do the things they do.

Yet as long as we only sit and bitch, as long as we're not fighting back in some way, we are also complicit in what our country's government does.

If you honk your horn to warn people ICE is around, you are protecting them. If you protest the regime, others will see that there's are others standing up and this is not inevitable. If you call your Congress people, you are telling them what the will of the people is, and that people are watching their actions. You don't have to do everything, but you should be doing something.

How can you expect corporations to care or Congress people to have a spine, if you won't even pick up a phone? Courage, and consciences, are contagious.

I participated in the first. I wish a single person cared or a single thing changed.

Protesting and marches are no longer an effective tool. Times change, tactics need to catch up.
