Summary
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?
Glenn 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"

| 0:42.1 | In the first few seconds in office, the President of the United States is required to take an oath, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. |
| 0:49.2 | And we're going to hold him to that pledge, despite the fact that he has threatened democracy and even the law itself. |
| 0:55.3 | It's all about hope for what democracy should look like and getting real about what our democracy |

| 1:22.6 | Because it really dovetails with not only what everybody is asking every day, a thousand times over, |
| 1:30.9 | what can I do? How can I get involved? How do I engage? How can I be helpful in this fight |
| 1:36.9 | for democracy and against autocracy? But it's something that I have been preaching over and over again. |
| 1:43.4 | And I'll talk about kind of my take on how people can engage in ways that aren't intuitive. |
| 1:50.0 | And I think that's exactly what Defiance.org is setting out to do, at least based on my read, but I want to hear more about, you know, what it's all about, why you decided to launch it, and what it's |
