How do I resist Trump without ruining my life?

VOX: I want to fight rising authoritarianism. But I’m scared of becoming a target.

America is a spectacle society. We love to look, ogle, glare. And many of us also do nothing in the way of protest, involvement in politics or voter education or civics education. We must go from a “get your popcorn ready” nation to an activist nation—or doom is inevitable. Politicians won’t save us.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now:

23. Regardless of whether you’re a parent, go to a school board meeting. During public comment, reiterate how much you value:

A. The district remaining a safe and welcoming place for queer and trans students.

B. The school district not cooperating with ICE.

C. The school continuing to teach accurate representations of U.S. history, multiculturalism and respect for all students’ backgrounds.

24. When you wonder “what right do I have to go to a school board if my topic isn’t on the agenda” remember those Moms For Liberty who caused all of that school board chaos a few summers ago… what right did they have to do so? And yet, there they were, creating a political moment out of nothing. You’re showing up for something real, something that matters. Your school board deserves to hear from you.

thewhitepages.netThirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly importantWhy? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now:

4. Print out little stickers. Write a message on them. Put them up on poles, in restrooms, at gas stations. Make them pithy, but focus on the person you might imagine reading it. Don’t lead with “Trump and Musk are fascists” however true that might be. The people for whom that message is appealing are already with us. Instead, say “Trump and Musk don’t care about you.”

5. Buy some chalk. Put it in your bag. Find a good spot and write in big bold letters “Trump and Musk look out for billionaires. Who is looking out for you?”

I don't care how many protest events you've been to, I don't care if you've spent time at blockades & got arrested either, don't care how much content you post online about caring about the environment IF -> you still choose to fly all over Canada for leisurely trips & when not flying everywhere, you choose to drive all across BC & across Canada, you choose to overconsume material items & create more unnecessary waste - you are part of the problems & not really a part of the solutions.

The above listed selfish human behaviours are not what any serious environmentalist engages in. It's what performative folks engage in - they film themselves multiple times daily to get views online on multiple sites. Their self worth is tied to their online life/likes. I do not enjoy being around high hypocrisy, dishonest, self absorbed, irresponsible people like that & avoid them as much as possible. I tend to adhere tightly to my standards of association & don't let unsavory selfish folks stay around me. I oust them fast & have not felt bad about it. Being cautiously careful about the company we choose to keep around us is a pretty big part of our self care as well.
