When people tell me that there’s been no resistance to the Trump administration, I wonder if they’re expecting something that looks like a guerrilla revolution pushing out the government in one fell swoop or just aren’t paying attention, because there has, in fact, been a tremendous amount and variety of resistance and opposition and it’s mattered tremendously.

          Noticed some anti-voting accounts pop back up this week after being dormant since last November. Must have gotten spooked by the election results on Tuesday and want to get a head start on trying to suppress turnout for next year.

      Seriously. Like a week after the election, keyboard warriors were out in force crowing about the big upcoming fight against tyranny. Like, homie. That was last week. All you had to do was mail a piece of paper, and too many of you couldn’t be bothered.

    And the kind of resistance they expect is still possible.

    But you will never hear about it from a story. If you do, it’s probably false.

    My states leaders continue to provide many such examples of resistance. The first thing they did after the 2024 election was to add millions to the attorney generals budget and they’ve been putting it to good use. Pursuing justice through the courts is slow and doesn’t make headlines but it has been succeeding more often than people realuze
