Thank you for this. It reminded me of Mr. Rogers' "look for the helpers" quote.

Thank you for sharing these!! A really nice break from the mile-a-minute doomposting. (Absolutely justified doomposting, but depression-inducing all the same.)

I only wish there was also advice in them on what the average person can do to help, it feels so hopeless just sitting here, watching and waiting... but then I guess if it were that easy to stop this tidal wave it wouldn't have gotten to this point in the first place.

Repeated protests, contacting state and local leadership and senators/representatives (including in-person visits when possible), supporting people who are able to do boots-on-the-ground work, including donating to organizations fighting the new governmental craziness - and that might include organizations we normally might not donate to because they also fight for trans rights. It's getting to be pick-your-battles times.
