This is great, and if I may I want to add to this list the numerous Empty Chair Town Halls that have happened in Republican-held House districts or Senate seats across the U.S. They began in early March and have continued, bringing people to not only highlight questions and issues they have that their rep is ignoring, but also getting people away from posting through it to meet each other and continue the work of pushing back. https://www.uppermichiganssource.com/2025/03/07/organizers-hold-1st-congressional-district-town-hall-escanaba-without-rep-jack-bergman/?outputType=amp

IIRC in the era of Watergate/Vietnam, people were encouraged to drive with their headlights on to signal opposition to Nixon. Since headlight use is now routine, what about driving with flashers on to signal an emergency and solidarity?

Yes, a civic uprising, "shutting shit down." Other people have shown us how it's done, just a few months ago South Koreans demonstrated ceaselessly until their elected president who took it upon himself to declare martial law was finally removed from office. Read the Call to Conscience, Call to Act of RefuseFascism.org for why and how this can happen, IF we all throw in all we have now. There is no time to waste, it can become too late if fascism fully consolidates. Do read, sign if you agree, and share this powerful statement: RefuseFascism.org/act
