Everyday Resistance: What You Can Do to Fight Fascism Right Now

This episode is for you if you feel paralyzed by the sheer magnitude of the world’s problems — from fascism to climate collapse — and need permission to focus on micro-actions instead of grand gestures.

Becky and Taina get personal, political, and a little petty (hi, billionaires in space 🙄) while talking through what resistance can actually look like in everyday life — without burning yourself out or pretending you have infinite capacity.

This conversation is about doing what you can, where you are, with what you’ve got. Not perfection. Not martyrdom. Not performative activism. Just real, livable resistance — and maybe dragging Gayle King a little along the way.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why “do everything” is a recipe for burnout, not liberation
• The myth that resistance has to be big, loud, or heroic
• Micro-actions that actually matter
• Mailing junk to the White House (yes, really)
• Tool libraries, mutual aid, and local infrastructure
• Why reading fanfic can absolutely count as resistance
• Letting go of perfection without letting go of responsibility
• What capitalism wants you to believe about your capacity

A gentle reframe

Resistance doesn’t require you to destroy yourself. Fascism thrives on exhaustion, isolation, and shame. Everyday resistance is about staying human, staying connected, and staying in the work for the long haul.
