Even if all you can do is donate to mutual aid groups, that's something.

Dear Vance, If you don't want to be called a Nazi then stop consolidating executive power, building concentration camps, supporting genocide, and targeting the LGBTQ+ community. Those are all Nazi style activities. Don't act like a Nazi and people will stop calling you one.

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.
A screenshot of a social media post from Greg Abbott. The text says: "This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech. FAFO." The attached image shows a young woman with long braids, wearing a patterned tank top and jeans, being handcuffed by two police officers in uniform. Her facial expression looks tense as she turns her head. Below, Abbott’s earlier post is quoted: "Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech." The post shows thousands of replies, retweets, and likes.
A screenshot of a social media post from Eric Daugherty. The text says: "🚨 UPDATE: It's being reported that this demon who danced on Charlie Kirk's grave has been expelled from Texas Tech. She said: 'f-ck y'all, yo homie dad!' They're finding out." Below is a still from a video showing a college campus walkway with students standing around. A woman with long hair, a backpack, and a tank top is at the center. On-screen text in the video reads: "Woke college student at Texas Tech mocks Charlie Kirk’s dath. 'Fck y’all... yo homie d*ad'. Make her famous." The post notes it was reshared from Gabriel and shows 3.5M views.

It works when many do it, not when just a handful of people do. Know before you go if your crew is blocing and dress accordingly. If the crew isn't blocing, then doing so will single you out, rather than keep you safe.

Anyone who wants you to *publicly commit to doing actual crimes*, on social media, is not a serious person. They're either a dilettante or a Fed. Historically, when extraordinary actions turned out to be necessary, those who did them didn't boast about it before they did it. They kept quiet.
