This song summarizes perfectly why we now live under fascism:

Fascism will not go away until the people who wanted it understand what they got. The most important thing you can do to resist fascism is talk to your MAGA friend and family to make them understand by themselves the magnitude of the catastrophe they unleashed.

  1. Participate or organize boycotts of companies that are enabling the Trump regime, starting with Elon Musk’s X and Tesla, and any companies that advertise on X or on Fox News

Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of consumer boycotts. Corporations invest heavily in their brand names and the goodwill associated with them. Loud, boisterous, attention-getting boycotts can harm brand names and reduce the prices of corporations’ shares of stock.

I'd take the Fox News piece a bit further and start boycotting sites like YouTube TV unless they put it on a pay tier. There are hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of people subsidizing Fox News through their streaming/cable subscriptions who have no intention of ever watching it.

From the article, thing #6:

Spread the truth

Get news through reliable sources, and spread it. If you hear anyone spreading lies and Trump propaganda, including local media, contradict them with facts and their sources.

Here are some of the sources I currently rely on for the truth: the Guardian, Democracy Now, Business Insider, the New Yorker, the American Prospect, Americans for Tax Fairness, the Economic Policy Institute, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, ProPublica, Labor Notes, the Lever, Popular Information, Heather Cox Richardson and, of course, my Substack.

See article for links. Interesting that none of the US's newspapers of record make his list...

Isn't he the father of comedy media mogul Sam Reich??? How can we be sure this wasn't written at the behest of big comedy?
