Increased dread is appropriate because we are entering a more dangerous stage. But we are not without weapons. We can, and must, defend against the onslaught. We know he can be stopped because mobilized people and mobilized state governments have fought back and won. We cannot allow the dread to immobilize or undermine our faith in each other.

State governments need to band together in coordinated action. And keep pushing Democratic members of the House and Senate to step up to the challenge and stand united in opposition.
