I would like people to stop using Facebook for events; we have to spend our time on platforms other than Meta ones.

Agreed. I think an event app rather than social media would be ideal.

Thank you, Sharon, for this comment. I completely agree and take this as a challenge to myself to figure it out and find alternate sites.

Yes! Boycott Meta, X (Twitter), Amazon, Whole Foods, Tesla, Washington Post. We cannot boycott all the bad companies but at least those headed by people currently destroying our democracy—Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg.

My entire freaking city uses Facebook for their events. Like the city government puts their events on fb instead of a central government website. It’s frusterating!

Thank you. This is exactly what my 100 actions 100 days newsletter is about. In sharing a doable action every day, from calling legislators to inviting neighbors for dinner. Every action toward beloved community matters

Take care of your minds and bodies. Eat healthy foods, go outside for a walk, connect with like-minded people. We need to stay strong to continue our resistance.

Thank you so much K. I woke up today feeling so overwhelmed and hopeless. This was exactly what I needed. I've saved it for future inspiration. You are a blessing.

Truth spoken. Call to action heard. RESIST. Have a voice. Stand up.

Personally, we're in the "gathering and helping make sure those that are interested are well informed" today. Last week we participated in a rally at the state courthouse, and always, always, contacting elected officials. We are trying hard to be the best helpers we can be!

Has there been any discussion of an "income tax strike"? Every year we faithfully pay our taxes to fund government services that are rapidly being eviscerated by Elon Musk et al. Personally I don't feel like paying for their tax reductions. I'd like to see what Trump, Vance, Musk, the cabinet, senators, congressman, supreme court justices are paying before I send a check. Just sayin'

The price has been paid by the hundreds of thousands of American patriots who died defending democracy around the world...

Can't we just let the regime fail at the budget? That would be entirely on the regime and no one but them.
