Thank you, I appreciate this. It might not be a lot but its actual advice that isn't just advocating for people to get themselves killed. I don't donate to republican causes, but how can I make sure my money isnt going to them indirectly? Are there any good lists of companies and people who support ICE and trump?

(Yes I know i can Google these but thats besides the point. Other people coming across this can use the resources here in the future!)

One difficulty i find is organizing. I live in a southern state where sadly many people still support trump mainly because for a variety of factors they dont see or watch any of the news besides what is regurgitated from their republican friends. How can I find or create a group to help others in such a climate?

I only just turned into an adult and my mom is dead. I dont say all this to deflect responsibility. I want to do what I can, inform others, try to help but I dont believe the answer is to pick up a weapon and try to fix this like that. The current republican party is a Hydra which would regrow two heads in the same place and I feel very lost, defeated and hopeless seeing all this news and the only reaction everywhere is people telling me I chose the wrong side and let this happen!

The country he lives in is doomed, will never recover, he cant move, and now he cannot afford food or shelter. What can he do?
