Winning this war will take a relentless campaign aimed at exposing how Trump and Musk's actions, and the docile complicity of Republicans in Congress, will squeeze Americans in every local community.
I think looking to the '26 elections is paramount, but I also think trump and his cronies are creating multi-layered opportunities to take the other side. Protests aren't the only answer, but they do raise awareness among others. Calls, emails to elected officials, letters to the editors of newspapers and attending town halls all sound small but, collectively, can't hurt and may create a groundswell before the elections . My state of Florida is red, but there are lots of blues here fighting for reproductive and educational rights, LGBTQ rights and, in my case, gun safety. To me, the answer is to find the way you can be most productive and then to do something about it and not assume someone else will fix everything.
This is all good information to have. But could you do a column addressing specifically what to do and how to contact the right people to get the message? I know the info is out there if people want to find it, but I imagine there are a lot who read your column who would benefit from you telling them.

Hey Reg,

Thanks, Tom
