I don't know about you, but anyone who says people aren't doing anything, hasn't been out in their town/city/county engaging with the groups in motion. I've got at least half a dozen emails/texts/invites to things, and have to pick the ones I can attend or support in some way.

NEW: After months outrage from residents, Bandera, Texas voted 3-2 to immediately end its contract with Flock. Then, a dissenting councilmember crashed out saying would be introducing measures to ban cell phones, the internet, cameras, and nearly all technology in the town of roughly 900 people.

NEW: A California DA was prosecuting Stanford students for felonies over pro-Palestine protests. Bolts reported back in February that he was fundraising off these cases. Learning this, defense attorneys dug more, & filed a motion to force Rosen off the case for bias. A judge just removed him:
