it's something small but valuable in a time of digital censorship. use your judgment when looking at your news sources to find proper ones and keep a journal of the things happening in the country, whether it's big or small. I've been saving images and videos of things that I think will be suppressed and trying to keep a record of what's happening in case the information control gets even crazier in the future
something else I've been doing is downloading any (public domain) books I've been meaning to read (especially leftist theory) off of project gutenberg or the internet archive in case those sites get shut down.
also paying attention but trying to stay as calm as you can because they're trying overwhelm us and make us check out, which we can't afford to do right now. build community with the people around you, organize if you can, do mutual aid, start a garden, just to name a few more. there's so many ways to fight fascism, big and small

Tad Stoermer is a resistance historian and has some incredible videos on the current authoritarian regime in the United States and what we can be doing now to prepare for resistance.
This will take more the protests. It requires community and building resistance infrastructure to keep ourselves and one another safe.
I cannot recommend his videos enough.

Despair and anger feed the monsters
I do recommend scrolling through news headlines every day so you have an idea of what’s happening (I use NY Times and Al Jazeera mostly), but you have no obligation to be an expert. If you can volunteer in your community (anything helpful, doesn’t have to be political), that would be awesome.

I'm so incredibly scared for the fascism rising in the US (and other parts of the world). The tiktok ban was a first step to censorship, censoring information that everyday Americans rely on for various things (like 🍉🍉🍉, the L.A Wildfires, even the holocaust) and banning basically the only third spaces that exist in the US. Trump bringing it back is NOT GOOD. He is manipulating all of you, especially younger folk that's using social media, spreading propaganda, to make him seem like a good guy. HE IS NOT A GOOD GUY, HE IS A FASCIST. ALONG WITH HIS FRIENDS, LIKE MUSK ‼️‼️
Please please please realise: they are trying to separate us. It's US vs. THEM ‼️‼️‼️ not RIGHT vs. LEFT ‼️‼️‼️
Help people in need, inform yourself and fact check everything.
remind yourself: THE POLICE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS ‼️‼️‼️
I found this image on instagram btw. Please don't endanger yourself or others.
DON'T LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF.

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to
