So, what can we do? Here are some things I have found.
I originally wrote this in February 2025.

To make calling Congress easier, you can download this app called “5 Calls.” It assists you on how to navigate calls to Congress as well as suggests a script on what to say. They also provide a list of current issues and numbers needed to make sure those calls and/or messages are tabulated correctly. A list of each vote made by your representatives is also included.

Examine left biased reporting, right biased reporting, centered reporting, blindspots, and more like I do after paying just $60 for a year. They have a $30/yr and $10/yr option also. What used to take me hours now takes me minutes, and it’s far more inclusive.
We can use this app to see information about whether the dollars we spend support campaign finance reform or not. We can stop giving money to companies that give it to politicians pushing oppression. They now added politician lookup also. It’s free but I do recommend the $5 per year plan to remove ads, which I used for almost a year, and have since upgraded to Premium just because I like seeing what social justice issues companies support.
Goods Unite Us also now has a user created downloadable list they update every so often.
Consider getting something to remove your information from data broker websites like DeleteMe or EasyOptOuts. The DeleteMe experience is much more comprehensive, and it has a nice looking portal, but EasyOptOuts is lower priced and barely has a portal. I have purchased both after being told EasyOptOuts has a better success rate. That remains to be seen. DeleteMe has you optionally upload ID with your Driver License number and photo blacked out explaining how some data brokers require it to process the removal and EasyOptOuts does not have you provide ID at all.

Since first writing this I have added to it and will continue to do so.
It’s important to understand that a rise of some sort is coming.
But also, that they are working on accomplishing martial law.
