Can we please stop with the "why aren't Americans doing anything" Discourse that I keep seeing? I'm not even talking about people in other countries. I'm talking about my fellow USians who I see every day On Here bemoaning how we aren't protesting.

1. PROTESTS ARE LITERALLY HAPPENING EVERY DAY.

You can think of it as a marathon, but really, it's triage.

What's the most important, most effective thing you can do? It doesn't have to be much. Sometimes, it's just hiding under your fucking blankets to keep your own head from exploding.

I'm not going to say don't give into despair because that train left the fucking station weeks ago.

But there's a big difference between staying informed and doomscrolling. Where you can, try to find something to balance the screaming.

Look, I'm chronically depressed, bipolar, and occasionally suicidal. If I can do this, chances are you can, too.

In times like these I am always thankful for my dark sense of humor and my ability to swear like a fucking truck driver. Plus I have a husband and 2 sons who are the same way so we help each other.

Also I’m off to buy edibles with my youngest tomorrow.

Please take care of yourself, we need you. 💖

And it's going to be triage until things change, be that via the GOP growing a spine or...y'know. Flowers and daisies and other extremely nonviolent stuff. So months if not years, if not decades.

Oh, yeah. Though if they keep heading down this road they might find themselves dealing with, uh, flowers and daisies a little sooner than they'd like.

It's gonna be nuts when they gut the DOJ to the point of no lawyers, clerks, judges, courtrooms, etc to deal with all the suits against them though.

I have seen requests to not use spray painted swastikas, since nazis love to spray paint swastikas on things and seeing them around can be traumatic for targeted groups. Fortunately there are plenty of other options.

I’d like to petition to award some kind of medal to the Seattle bus driver who told ICE to “gargle his balls” when they wanted to board the bus.

People are standing up in small ways and big ways and it’s not going to be an overnight kind of fight.
