Action Menu (so every post ends with something real)

Pick one. Small counts. Consistency beats intensity.

1-minute actions

• Don’t share the claim yet; ask for a source
• Mute or unfollow one account that reliably inflames you
• Send one calm DM: “You okay?”
• Write your one question (not ten)

10-minute actions

• Check one primary source (official site, agenda packet, full clip)
• Send one “One Ask” email to the actual decider
• Make a voting plan (you + one friend)
• Add a receipts stub instead of guessing

1-week actions

• Attend or watch one local meeting and log one ask
• Join or start a 3-8 person micro-team (GOTV / policy)
• Submit one public comment on a proposed rule
• Make one recurring donation to a high-execution org (with reporting)

“If you’re mad” actions (heat -> useful)

• Save draft; sleep; reread tomorrow
• Rewrite as: mechanism + uncertainty + ask
• Use a boundary line and step out of comments

”If you’re sad” actions (grief -> care)

• Send one kind message
• Do one practical help
• Log one next step and stop scrolling
