We know Trump is planning to interfere with the mid-term elections. The antidote to despair is
planning and action.

Protect the 2026 Election Before It Happens
The 2026 midterm election and races for offices across the country are seven and a half months away. A law redirecting federal tax withholdings tells a federal government determined to end free and fair elections exactly what it will cost them. It makes clear that if they sever the constitutional bonds in an extreme enough fashion, there will be an immediate, appropriate, and proportionate response. It passes the legislature now, sits on the books, and fires automatically the moment the federal government crosses a defined line. The full legal framework for the trigger law is in the free Tax Warfare ebook at buymeacoffee.com/theer/e/485448, along with an entire array of individual, private, and public tax-based responses: what you can do with your own taxes, what businesses can do, and what governments at every level can do to fight back through the tax system.
Someone will tell you that redirecting federal tax revenue is illegal. Sure. So is sending ICE agents to polling places. So is refusing to certify an election your side lost. So is nullifying results you dont like. The people aiming at our elections are not waiting for legal permission, and the question worth asking is not whether our response is tidy; it is what we plan to do if they succeed. A trigger law is that plan, written into statute before November arrives. The moment they cross the line they are already moving toward, the law fires. The legal challenge to the tax redirection and the financial pressure on the federal government land at the same time. We do not scramble. We do not negotiate. We tell them now, in writing, what happens the moment they follow through. That is not a threat. That is a law.
Call your governor, your state representative, and your state senator and say this:
I am calling to urge you and the legislature to introduce trigger legislation before the 2026 election. This legislation should order all employers to redirect all federal tax revenue in the event of the federal government interfering with our states election administration or refusing to certify our legitimate election results. We need this protection in place now, not after our elections are stolen.
Christopher Armitage and a whole online and irl community are working in overdrive to get these and other specific ways to counter the fascist takeover in front of state legislators, crafting model legislation tailored for particular states. They're doing the research and scripts to ask state AG's to investigate and file state criminal charges against Trump officials for laws broken in their states.
Brilliant stuff, just brilliant. Using the sovereign power of states to shut down federal overreach and authoritarian takeover. Several states are actually taking action. It's so encouraging.
