As press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the quiet part out loud about Trump’s tariffs, a reporter who covers Trumpworld explains why his vile bullying of our allies should be taken a lot more seriously.
Remember that small acts of resistance build big acts of resistance. Every time someone stands up, a few more people stand up next time. Don’t sit around waiting for “the revolution” or “the general strike” or whatever other thing feels “big enough” to you. At that point you might as well just be waiting for the rapture. You build heaven one brick at a time.
And equally importantly, getting involved in the small acts of resistance gets you connected to the people who are doing things. The first part of organized resistance is organizing and that’s never going to happen by sharing a meme or two. You need to get into the Signal chats, and the person to person networks where the real action is being talked about, mostly offline. So signing up to protest against book removals at your local n library might not feel like “doing enough” but it’s how you get started. Things will move from there.
Search around for any kind of leftist resistance happening in your area, no matter how small. Get involved at the local level. It will make a difference.

We won’t. We will bitch and moan and go to work while the military makes encroachments on your land.
I will be doing fun experiments, in Minecraft.
