We need to have specific action items we can take to protect our freedoms. I think three important ones are:
1. Support the ACLU who will fight for us in court.
2. Support the Democratic Party who will fight for us in elections and in court.
3. Participate in protests and demonstrations to let the fascists know we will not go quietly.
.
There will be other action items, but these will give us a good start.

(26 posts)I would also suggest boycotting and divesting away from companies who are aligned with the Trump regime.
It can be easy to do. Canceling your Spotify or Amazon Prime subscription may only take a few minutes.
Boycotting Twitter literally doesn't require any of your time, I'm just asking you to no longer login to the website or use the app, that's it. You could make a different by doing nothing!
Boycotting Tesla could save your life because Tesla cars have dangerous electric door handles that can trap people inside the car if it were to get in an accident or catch on fire.
It's a little trickier for B2B companies like Uline and Oracle but please do everything you can to spread the word about why these companies are bad. With Uline they have a reputation for being overpriced so even if someone doesn't care about politics you can hopefully still get them to switch by finding a lower cost alternative. For Oracle you might be able to find open source alternatives to some of their software or if you're a business who uses Oracle software trying seeing if you could find another company who has a better product. Using Oracle is also bad because sometimes Oracle "audits" companies and you risk being fined by them.
What we're ultimately doing by boycotting is removing the Trump regime's pillars of support. I would very strongly recommend this video here:
