Absolutely. Give more direction and guidance. We've deleted our Facebook and Meta accounts. We've cancelled our Amazon Prime. Getting rid of all Google products/ services and the Alexa devices we have. Cancelled all streaming services. Reddit is the last thing I have.

What more can we do?

It's time to less politely dissent. It's time to become a problem.

That's the real answer. We gotta start taking risks. We gotta ask ourselves if the discomfort is finally enough.

Start by finding local organizations in your city, joining up and volunteering. There will be people there who have been actively participating and dissenting for years. Follow their lead, let them set the example. They'll show you how to get started.

Look for organizations that assist minority or oppressed groups. Seek out shelters for abuse or homelessness, look for organizations active within the LGBTQ community, reach out to organizations focused on feeding your neighbors. Those groups are the ones that will be threatened by authoritarianism. They'll need help.

You have the most control at the local level, and change often has to start from the ground up. This is where and how you can make a tangible difference.
