It's clarifying because we know what to do. The civil resistance research is unambiguous. The historical examples are documented. The tools exist.
The question is whether we’ll deploy them at scale before the window closes.
The comparison to mid-20th century antisemitic fascism is terrifying because the trajectory is clear, the mechanisms are in place, and the political will for escalation exists.
If we view attacks on trans people through the lens of mid-20th century anti-semitic fascism, it's both terrifying and clarifying. It's a code red but there's still time to act
The danger level is high enough to demand full mobilization, but not yet so high that resistance is impossible.
After five years and over 107,000 conversations across 12 states, the United Vision Project is sharing what they’ve learned about bridging deep political divides. Join them for a virtual briefing to explore the data, the insights, and what comes next!
Minneapolis is a living demonstration of what coordinated resistance looks like when multiple distinct communities maintain their own identities and strengths while feeding a common river of action. antiauthoritarianplaybook.substack.com/p/the-minnea...

Art doesn't just decorate the world; it reveals it, documents it, challenges it, and imagines something better. That's exactly why it's always the first target.
Learn about why authoritarians target the arts and what we can do about it: bit.ly/antiauthoritarianplaybook
When they come for the arts, they come for our collective imagination and resistance. Support your local artists. Buy their work. Show up to their events. Art is infrastructure and essential.

11:45pm: the moment between complacency and collapse. But here’s the thing, we can still turn this around. Not by waiting, but by acting together.

What happens when election workers, police, and business leaders all refuse to cooperate with authoritarianism? The regime falls. It's happened before. It can happen again.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed.
ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them
Over the weekend, 75,000 Minnesotans from every walk of life marched and over 1,000 businesses shut down to demand ICE and the regime end their campaign of abductions and killings.
Minnesotans across races, faiths, and genders, are demonstrating that the #BraveOfUs stand with and for each other.

Faith communities play a powerful role in civil resistance. Faith leaders are showing up in powerful ways in Minneapolis and beyond.
As you join and organize actions this weekend and beyond, assume total surveillance and act accordingly. Serbian activists give us a powerful blueprint: stay connected to each other, stay diligent and clear, stay consistent, stay ahead. antiauthoritarianplaybook.substack.com/p/what-serbi...
The infrastructure authoritarians are using was built to destroy Black freedom. You cannot resist it effectively without understanding that. And you cannot understand it while remaining silent about race. antiauthoritarianplaybook.substack.com/p/why-you-ca...
Political violence is not normal and we will not let authoritarians make us feel like it is. In these difficult times, we must continue speaking truth to power, fostering community relationships and care, and taking action together.
We grieve Renee Nicole Good and all those killed by ICE. ICE’s lawless operations have made our neighborhoods less safe. This violence is not isolated but the predictable result of abuse of power. We demand accountability for this killing and an end to ICE raids.
In the face of exhaustion and the onslaught of authoritarian violence, joy, play, faith, and resistance can sustain our movements for democracy and justice. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...
