The protests were great. But they should only be the beginning.

Please – do one ACTIVE thing every day to fight the autocratic, hateful, deranged, monstrousness of the Trump regime and his Republican stooges:

- Write to advertisers asking them not to support right-wing media (you will be surprised how responsive they often are)

- Make a donation to a Democratic candidate, DCCC, DNC, Emily's List, Progressive Turnout Project, Public Citizen, Common Cause, MoveOn, Indivisible, etc.

- Make a donation to an organization fighting the insanity, like Union of Concerned Scientists, ACLU, NAACP, People for the American Way, ProPublica, Democracy Forward, State Democracy Defenders Fund, American Oversight

- Subscribe to a factual, serious publication like NYT, The Guardian, New Yorker, New Republic, The Nation, The Atlantic, The Contrarian

- Don't let "both-sidesism" go unanswered in media

- Be relentless in exposing the voting records, supporters, and tactics of MAGA politicians

- Write a letter or postcard to a member of Congress

- Attend protests like the one of June 14 – and others

Please add your ideas. And if you are a MAGA-zombie-troll, please just go away until we figure out how to bring you back into civilization.
