If you are reading this, it probably means you are doomscrolling the authoritarian apocalypse, instead of actually doing something about it. I can't recommend action enough. Switch off social media, limit it to a small bit of time per day, and work on your organising instead.
2. We need to organise, as citizens. This means recruiting your neighbours, friends, acquaintances and co-workers, and coming together to protect democracy and stable governance. Isolated bellyaching is not a winning strategy, working together is.

The change is happening. (Albeit very slow and maybe unnoticeable, but it is there)
