have a group of leaders, I dunno , Obama, AOC, sen Wyden, do a national town hall thingy after the day, how do we convert a 1 day thing into action that helps ?
One huge problem is the media
The GOP has Fox news, etc; we have the not very helpful centrist media (NYT, NPR, etc) and the "left" media which is , not widely read (on the scale of a national media source) and which is tendentious
We need AOC/Hillary/Obama to find someone with say 100 million
Here in Boston, where I live, I think the following is feasible:
every saturday, every tesla dealer in New England, 20 people marching in front of the store
I'm all for it. Let's give it a shot. Spread the word! I would add to not watch anything on any Fox channels, especially if you have a favorite show or sporting event!
It's a fine idea. Another good idea is to reduce spending as much as you can tolerate for the next 4 years. My family already lived a step below what we can afford, now we're going to drop down another step.

But I'm in.
at least, not without some sort of plan about how to turn this performative stunt into long term plan to effect change

Given that Harris blew thru one billion dollars, this doesn't seem impossible, except that people with 100 million are not, really, liberals
Organize Tesla boycott; focus on Tesla; I think this is the max pain point

we lost control of Congress in Nov 2024 by , iirc, 13,000 odd votes
Taking control of congress in 2026 is doable, even w suppression

Pressure state/local leaders to be more vocal on DEI/LGTBQ rights in blue states

My town, Newton, MA, our school can offer free books to a sister school - say the schools in Fort Campbell

I haven't thought about this long enough to come up with good ideas
