I am conducting training for my local Indivisible chapter on enhanced digital and banking security in an authoritarian era. I will apply lessons learned here and in your future publications. Tha k you for this critical work. Let us know when you go underground and how to remain in touch.

Bob, thank you for this—I’m truly encouraged to hear you’re applying this in practical training. Knowing this work is supporting meaningful grassroots action is exactly why I do it. I’ll certainly keep everyone informed about future steps and staying connected.

Simply wow. One suggestion to readers, if you review in your email then you need to open it up as a page. Although one can read Substack on a computer too, not just in the app.

The information brings silence. And need to review again.

Thank you so much, Joe. I appreciate both the kind words and the helpful suggestion to others! Your point about revisiting it highlights exactly why it’s so important to pause and fully absorb complex information.

So important to read and reread this. If only to reassure ourselves we’re not crazy - and we’re not alone!

One of the single most vital pieces of writing at this moment and should be shared widely!

thanks for these ideas - good stuff - please focus on ideas for organizing, from the DNC, Congress, state, county, local communities - how we share with one another in a SECURE SPACE WITH SAFEGUARDS, so that we can continue to unite in an organic but increasingly united, strategic way - it's one thing to make lists (and they sound compelling) but we need a space to actually brainstorm possible ideas, try them out, share them, learn from them, keep getting stronger and better - but to ACT NOW, in the loudest public ways - learning to anticipate and pounce as we go - and identify growing list of local and federal LEADERS and pull them into the conversation; that will move us forward in big and immediate ways
