We can build that vast opposition and stop Trump. But it's growing more and more unlikely to happen until tens of millions of us directly engage in the process. If you have your own ideas on effective political organization, go for it! But any real change requires actually *doing something*.

Trump & Co will not stop until they are stopped. Given the opportunity to do worse things, there's no endpoint at which they will not do them. Acting in your communities now—protesting and building local networks—is critical to creating a massive, visible, nationwide opposition to counter them.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

It all boils down to: Trump wants to harm as many Americans as possible, while plundering as much cash as possible, because that’s what his Kremlin whoremasters want.
