1. Join the aclu -- we are going to need them more than ever. Lend your voice to the cause of liberty for the cost of just a couple of coffee drinks.

2. Protect our watchdog press with LTTE, with expressions of support for investigative journalism, and protection for reporters.

3. Get the slim book by Yale holocaust historian Timothy Snyder "ON TYRANNY: TWENTY LESSONS FROM THE TWENTIETH CENTURY" to tell us what to watch and how to be in this fraught moment. $7.95 at booksellers everywhere.
