the Red Lens is how I see change. Political, social, or even personal. We. Us. Our. Solutions that include and support all of us. I'm not going to get into labels deeply. I don't care about theory in detail, it's good, whatever. I don't care about "More progressive then thou," I'm not here to exclude and cancel people moving our way. Work to make things better. Work to help people, especially those that are marginalized, disenfranchised and precarious. Fuck labels.
That said, Anti-Fascism forever. Our best heroes punched Nazis and that's the right idea. Anti-Fascist Action can take many guises, it is supported by a diversity of tactics, so feel free to choose your level of engagement. But bigots, Fascists, and other hateful people have no home or place here. that includes those that support the actions and opinions of bigots. If you want to be included, if you want to sit with us? Change your mind first. that's the difference. Bigots can change their minds. Change it and join us. The marginalized can't change the features that bigots hate them for.

Shit's bad and feeling helpless makes us less able to help. So doing things where you can how you can as much as you can helps make it eaiser for you to do more.
Write things down, clip newspapers and magazines. Print out articles and pictures from the internet, save things in thumbdrives and external harddrives offline. Print as PDF and save the PDFs onto something that is isolated from the internet. Put this offline stuff on a box, lable and add any context you can. Stuff on paper is harder to memory hole.
this also applies to fanfics, and art that you have sticking around as JPGs. Even porn. Print it out, save as PDF and/or download it to USB Mass-storage
Get to the meeting. What meeting? any meeting! Go to the city council meetings. Show up as the farmers markets and street parties your city puts on. Look for posters and search for your local orgaizations and drop by their events. Be a part of your community.
This counts for your friend group too. go on hikes, have picnics. Do things together. See if you can find something that you can do as a group to help people. then do it.
