Thank you! I promise to keep fighting, writing, and raising hell where it’s needed. We’re in this together, and every voice matters, especially yours! Stay strong and stay loud.
Thank you! I'm an introvert who is trying to figure out what to do. I am buying books, but I know that I need to do more than that. Thanks for the list!
You’re already on the right path, learning is power! But action is what turns knowledge into change. Every movement needs thinkers and doers, and it sounds like you’re ready to be both. You’ve got this!

The Substack Bridges to Burn by Denise Conroy recently posted a good 'starter pack'.
You can be a keeper of important books that might disappear. I've been buying used, hardcover books, to keep long term. Do what works for you, but don't minimize the value of buying physical copies of books and holding on to them.
I think that’s a wonderful idea! I have so many e-books and audiobooks that I know are going to disappear at some point. I did start copying the e-books I don’t want to lose. It doesn’t take long but it’s still in a format that I would need a computer to read until I can print them.
Thank you! That means the world to me. I firmly believe that inspiration without action is just a daydream, and action without a plan is chaos. We need both to make real change. Keep fighting the good fight!
That means so much, thank you! These are tough times, but we’re tougher. Knowledge, solidarity, and action are our best tools, and I’m honored to be in this fight with you. You’re not alone!
Great advice and very very important to acknowledge how angry abd frightened people are. I worry they won’t get the message till too late. But keep it going please. Ratchet is up slowly. But this is great stuff, plus beautiful artwork!
Make the fascists work for it and make that work thoroughly unpleasant and humiliating for them. Many of them are lazy as hell and that should be exploited fully.
Thanks for your commonsense and very actionable advise! I'll be sure to pass it on, especially to those who think the only way to fight fascism is with violence. They lack imagination, and don't seem to understand what their actions will bring down on our communities; martial law & heavy violence they're not equipped to deal with.
I sure needed this. I’m alone and need others to talk to about our changing reality. I got on here with the intention of writing but still getting my footing on this platform.
Thank you for this list, especially the first point! I’ve already seen so many people say “we can’t do anything” “they have total power” and THATS WHAT THEY WANT! This fight has just begun, and we’re already seeing people fight back!
Thanks for this important reminder and list of actions..
You’re so welcome!
Outstanding and inspiring! Please keep up this vital work.

Love your work. The concrete, clear action steps along with inspiration is extremely helpful and effective.

Great advice. And don’t forget to laugh at the bullies. They hate being made to feel as ridiculous as they are.
My recipe for an easy local action that you can do once or every week. Invite friends, make it a social event.

A serious risk that must be weighed.
Thank you! Please keep writing!
