I saw a post on Bluesky recently that addressed this criticism, where it looks like nobody's doing anything. Protesting in the capital isn't feasible for most of the country, living thousanda of kilometers from the capital. The protests at Tesla dealerships are an example of a feasible form of protest for many. Representatives' voicemail boxes are full from all the calling. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez & Bernie are drawing enormous crowds on their tour, galvanizing people into smaller action in greater quantity.

I agree we as a country aren't doing enough to right it, but we're definitely ramping up. This summer is going to get ugly, both with shit the administration will try & the responses they'll get as the weather warms up & physical protesting will draw in more people.

I just hope the pushback is intense & undeniable. I hope enough people are pushed out of their comfort zone & into taking action.
