Ask HN: What can we do to support change in the US with our skillset?
At this point I'm convinced we're headed towards more extreme humanitarian crimes. I already consider the current administration's posturing on Climate Change to be humanitarian & ecological terrorism (from both parties; but of course, emphasis on the GOP). I also believe we are headed towards a genocide against hispanic & trans people, the only variable is to what extent.

I don't care much to debate these facts & predictions; I will if you want, but this isn't really the forum for that conversation. What I'm here to ask is what to do about it. I'm willing to go stand in the rain and protest but I feel like there should be something more productive I can do as an engineer. Charity projects? Making data more accessible somehow? Or easily digestible? Any ideas? Fact checking systems?

Anything?
