On all levels of government, from civil servants to the military to Congress. To the people dropping bombs on boats in Venezuela. To the police. To the state legislatures, governors, and cities. To everyone that Trump hasn't had the power to hire or fire. To every judge who will stand up to threats and tell him he has to follow the law. To whoever could enforce that law that doesn't.

It's at extreme risk to themselves and their families that people will defy Trump. Who will have the courage and make the sacrifice? How many heroes do we have? How far does he have to go before we find out? And how can we support and protect our heroes?
