Disclaimer: I’m Mark, manager of this website and our newsletter. I’ve been gathering resources for fighting and surviving Trump 2.0, but I’m finding it impossible to share this material without making judgment calls on what to include and what to prioritize. So at least for now, please use this for what it’s worth with the understanding that I’m not a journalist or political strategist.

Staying Informed

Mental health tip: Focus on content that helps you understand what is going on rather than sharing non-actionable details of the latest outrage. And don’t feel guilty when you simply have to take a break from the news.
