We're Forever Asking, "What Can I Do" to Fight Trump's Authoritarianism? Here's a New Approach - Glenn Kirschner



We are always asking ourselves, asking others, or others are asking us: what can I do to fight FOR democracy and fight AGAINST Trump's autocracy, dictatorship, and authoritarianism?

I sat down with Miles Taylor to discuss a new approach: DEFIANCE.org. Miles has set the standard for standing up to Trump's lawlessness, his threats, and his despicable and insatiable appetite for revenge.

Miles decided to create DEFIANCE.org, described as follows:

“WHAT CAN I DO?”

"We built a club to answer that question. Each month, we give you options to fight back — peacefully, lawfully, and defiantly — against Trump’s authoritarian takeover. You choose what missions to support. Then we take action together."

DEFIANCE.org is described as: "A CLUB FOR COURAGEOUS AMERICANS"

I sat down with Miles to hear more about
DEFIANCE.org - Glenn Kirschner - 11/01/2025.

It's an organizer for actions. You can donate and join or just join and do actions. I'm going to do both.
