no, none of my action items are minimum effort, sorry. Defending democracy will never be a low strain activity. I’m organizing unions in my workplace by following the disruptive and worker-led Minnesota Model of organizing. We workers make the world go round. As the US labor movement gears up for a genuine general strike in 2028 (yes, we’re following through with Fain’s call to action), we need unions of all stripes to form. Labor unions, tenant unions, debtor unions, etc. Then after forming, we need unprecedented inter-union cooperation. It’s ok to be tired and burnt out. Let yourself recover, and then continue the good fight.
You can do so much more good protecting, sharing resources, building community programs, etc. If they burn the country down to ash, well your oasis might survive.
Then for aggressive stuff, non-compliance would be way more effective. Think simple sabotage manual, a bit of sand really grinds up the gears of fascism.
That’s why we as citizens need to organize and stand together in solidarity. Don’t depend on institutions to fight back.

So, to me it’s the shield over the sword.
