What can we do

Starting to feel extremely overwhelmed. I know we need to keep the faith but I’m unsure of what we can do? I’ve been trying to stay informed, signing in for testimony for things actively happening in my state… but all of this feels like way too much at once (I know they’re doing this purposefully, shock doctrine) but I’m unsure how all of this is legally allowed to happen and why nothing is being done. I’m the type of person who likes to take control and make change, and I feel helpless in this situation. I work full time just to make ends meet and can’t just not go to work or leave work to protest even though I desperately would like to participate in that aspect of the movement. Two weeks and I’m not sure how much more as a country we can take. Is anything being done to combat any of this? Normal civilians are the ones getting hurt. Inflation is going to rise. People are losing their jobs (federal) and getting deported and racially profiled. I feel like I am living in a dystopian novel. Any advice or wisdom on this topic is appreciated.
