@anon29631895, I owe you my personal thanks for this thread. I’ve felt scattered and helpless these past couple weeks (and especially the last six days) by the change in political weather here in the States, my thoughts encircling the questions ‘When to leave?’ and ‘Where to go?’.
I haven’t stopped thinking about these questions but your thread and the contributions here now have me more focused on the questions ‘How I can fight back?’ and ‘How can I help those most vulnerable?’.
This morning, I found myself singing this song, which now resonates with me stronger than ever before:
you know the way that things go
when what you fight for starts to fall
and in that fuzzy picture
the writing stands out on the wall
so clearly on the wall
send out the signals deep and loud
and in this place, can you reassure me
with a touch, a smile - while the cradle’s burning
all the while the world is turning to noise
oh the more that it’s surrounding us
the more that it destroys
turn up the signal
wipe out the noise
send out the signals deep and loud
man i’m losing sound and sight
of all those who can tell me wrong from right
when all things beautiful and bright
sink in the night
yet there’s still something in my heart
that can find a way
to make a start
to turn up the signal
wipe out the noise

There’s also the not-glamorous job of making sure there’s an opposition party.
I’ve been going to monthly Letters to the Editor “club” meetings at the local Democratic Party office. We’ve had five or six letters published since the election; two of those were mine!
Went to the actual party meeting last evening. Feisty and angry; lots of Roberts Rules of Order arguments over resolutions and amendments. Still a lot of bitterness between the Bernie and Hillary supporters, but they’re angrier about Trump’s latest abominations. There’s an informal party for the sides to vent at each other. Also heard from an actual state legislature, about the hard work of balancing budgets and mandates and needs. It was very interesting to see an actual working politician talking about actual running of government.
I think I’ve posted elsewhere about Indivisible. They now have a page where you can look up civic activist groups. The local Move On group joined them; also locally are environmentalist, Angry Women, LGBTQ and other groups, so you can find one you’re comfortable with.

I don’t want to get overly pedantic, but he is my president, which is to say, he’s supposed to be working for me, for all of us. And instead we got, aw sheesh don’t let me get started. 
Anyway, Imma make more pussyhats now, because I probably should do something with my hands other than mime wringing necks

A local radio station (or pirate station - not sure which but it didn’t have a huge range) has been looping FDT uncensored non-stop.

I’m not sure if this has been posted yet, or whether or not it’s real, but here’s another rogue Twitter account:

No onebox, of course. 
Edited to add one of the tweets, which will create a onebox (thanks @codinghorror!)
