Articles like this help me focus on the new reality and what I can do, and I really appreciate you sharing these, Jason. This crystallized so many of my thoughts and feelings:

Rather than enacting or even outlining their own plan to resist Trump, Schiff tells us to watch what’s happening and talk about it. If we don’t, he warns, we could be next. However, watching and talking will not insulate any of us from the spread of Trump’s authoritarian violence.

If we want to get through this, and protect as many people as we can, we are going to have to do more than watch and talk.

There is despair based in what's going on around us, but to me, hopelessness derives from a sense that there's nothing I can do to stop it or help the people affected. People survived under Jim Crow, and it was overturned. The Danes protected their people from the Nazis.

I thought I'd run it through ChatGPT, then changed my mind entirely and came up with this:

1. You must not go to work in the Administration.
2. You shall do a bad job for the Administration.
3. You shall work slowly for the Administration.
4. You shall sabotage important sites and software.
5. You shall destroy or vandalize everything which may be of benefit to the Administration.
6. You shall delay all ICE movements.
7. You shall boycott MAGA & propaganda media.
8. You must not fund MAGA businesses or those supporting The Administration
9. You shall treat traitors to democracy for what they are worth.
10. You shall protect anyone targeted by the Administration.
