I wrote both my senators about this and also my congress rep.
I encourage every US citizen to do the same.
I'm under no illusion that writing letters or making calls is the solution. And I'm not sure how much it will help. But we have to make our voices heard somehow and I'm unable to go to any protests in person.
And if you have time this afternoon (short notice!) there's a protest at the Portland Tesla dealership on Macadam Avenue from 3:45 – 5:15 pm

Protests are working. Boycotts are working.
Let's make a difference! Let's take them down: Protest! Resist! Boycott!
Aus aktuellem Anlass / Due to current events / због актуелних дешавања:
"Die serbische Regierung hat mutmaßlich eine unbekannte nicht-tödliche Waffe gegen eine friedliche Großdemonstration eingesetzt und dabei eine Massenpanik ausgelöst.
(...)
Der Klang der eingesetzten Waffe ist auf den Videos nicht klar zuzuordnen. Menschen beschreiben ihn als angsteinflößend. Manche sagen, sie hätten einen hohen Ton gehört, andere ein nahendes Flugzeug oder einen Ton, den sie nicht einordnen konnten, es sei wie im Traum gewesen, wie ein Auto, das durch die Menge rast.'

Today in Labor History March 17, 1966: 100 striking Mexican American and Filipino farmworkers marched from Delano, California to Sacramento to pressure the growers and the state government to answer their demands for better working conditions and higher wages, which were, at the time, below the federal minimum wage. By the time the marchers arrived, on Easter Sunday, April 11, the crowd had grown to 10,000 protesters and their supporters. A few months later, the two unions that represented them, the National Farm Workers Association, led by César Chávez, and the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee, joined to form the United Farm Workers. The strike was launched on September 8, 1965, by Filipino grape pickers. Mexicans were initially hired as scabs. So, Filipino strike leader Larry Itliong approached Cesar Chavez to get the support of the National Farm Workers Association, and on September 16, 1965, the Mexican farm workers joined the strike. During the strike, the growers and their vigilantes would physically assault the workers and drive their cars and trucks into the picket lines. They also sprayed strikers with pesticides. The strikers persevered nonviolently. They went to the Oakland docks and convinced the longshore workers to support them by refusing to load grapes. This resulted in the spoilage of 1,000 ten-ton cases of grapes. The success of this tactic led to the decision to launch a national grape boycott, which would ultimately help them win the struggle against the growers.

Remember when the extreme right people would talk about their "Free Speech" rights, and we all knew what they wanted- which was to use "Free Speech" as a pretense to cause harm to Queer folks, and Black folks, and anyone they didn't like.
We called it out. We made fun of them, called it "Freeze Peach", etc.
When someone, under the pretense of "Free Speech", physically assaults someone else, sprays hate messages on their home, shoots at their school, physically blocks them from entering their school or work, gives away maps of where a "certain type of person" lives, etc. that's also not "Free Speech". It doesn't matter what the cause is, and if it's someone from the Left doing it. It's still not okay.
Call it out. Call it Freeze Peach. Call it whatever the hell we need to call it to make it stop.
And if you defend this stuff, then as far as I'm concerned, you can go to the same place as the Proud Boys go.

Betar, an international far-right pro-Israel group, took credit for the DHS arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. They also claimed they sent “thousands of names” of Palestine defenders to Trump for deportation.
Betar is so right-wing that even the ADL, (itself a racist, right-wing zionist organization), blacklisted them for comments like "not enough" babies were killed in Gaza.
